Halloween Bubble Overview
Halloween Bubble was one of those simple, seasonal games you'd find on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a themed distraction, a bit of spooky fun you could play in a browser window between other tasks. The graphics were bright and cartoonish, with grinning pumpkins and bats replacing the usual colored orbs.
You control a fixed cannon at the bottom of the screen, aiming a cursor with your mouse. Clicking shoots a bubble upward into the clustered mass. The goal is to clear the entire board by matching three or more bubbles of the same type. If your shot creates a match, those bubbles pop; if not, it sticks, slowly lowering the ceiling of play. The mechanics are straightforward, focusing on angles and planning your shots to create chain reactions. The pace is steady, but the difficulty ramps up as the board fills with fewer colors and more precarious arrangements. It feels like a quiet, methodical puzzle where a single miscalculation can corner you.
