BubbleThump: Chain Pop Puzzle

BubbleThump is a bubble pop puzzle set in a lantern-lit temple courtyard, where fortune orbs drift up from a brazier toward the gate and it is your job to burst them before they slip through. One tap takes the whole chain with it. HOW THE BUBBLE POP PUZZLE WORKS • Tap any orb and every touching orb carrying the same seal bursts with it. • The chain multiplies by its own length, so a patient tap scores far more than a fast one. • Cracked orbs take two taps and never chain — they are there to break your rhythm. • Let three orbs slip through the gate and the ascent ends. 60 ASCENTS THROUGH SIX GATES • Ember Gate, Koi Gate, Blossom Walk, Tide Gate, Storm Stair and Dragon Gate. • Four seals — ember, koi, blossom and tide — enter the board gradually, so the puzzle grows with you. • Three stars per ascent. The third one is tuned to hurt. • The rise speed, the spawn rate and the cracked-orb odds all climb across the sixty levels. OFFLINE PUZZLE — NO WIFI NEEDED • Every level runs on your device. No connection, no sign-in, no account. • Play it on a plane, on the underground, or with the radio switched off entirely. • BubbleThump carries no advertising, no in-app purchases and no timers waiting on a server. EMBERS, CHARMS AND RELICS • Earn Embers by clearing ascents, then spend them in the Ember Bazaar. • Four charms burn inside a single run: Gust pushes the field back down, Incense buys seconds, Ward soaks up one breach, Ink Wash clears the most common seal. • Four relics upgrade across three tiers and stay with you — an extra strike at the gate, slower orbs, a longer incense stick, and rims around live chains. • A daily lantern bounty tops your Embers up whenever you come back. PLAY YOUR WAY • Colour assist puts a monogram on every seal, so the board reads without relying on hue. • Larger orbs, calm flash and chain numbers are each their own switch in Tuning. • Track ascents cleared, stars, orbs burst, longest chain and tap accuracy on the Record screen, under a name and sigil you pick. BubbleThump is a chain reaction puzzle you can pick up for one ascent and put down again — the censer never rests, and neither does the gate.
