Speedy Bubbles

Speedy Bubbles was one of those straightforward games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, accessible puzzle game you could play in a browser. The title itself gave a clear idea of what to expect.

You control a cannon at the bottom of the screen, aiming and firing colored bubbles upward into a clustered mass. The main goal is to clear the screen by matching three or more bubbles of the same color. You can bounce shots off the walls for tricky angles, and clearing a section sometimes causes the entire ceiling to drop, raising the tension. The pace is insistent, with the descending bubbles creating a steady pressure. It feels like a race against a slow but inevitable collapse.
