Can you play Bubble Island on Android or iPhone? There is no app: this edition is a website at bubble.fbgamesweb.com. You can open it in a phone browser, but Bubble Island is designed for a computer and played with the mouse, and touch screens have not been tested, so we cannot promise it works well on a phone. This guide says what we know, what we do not, and what to do if you try it anyway.
Here is the game: open it on a computer with a mouse for the experience it was designed for, and create your free account.
Shoot bubbles from your cannon, clear the tropical island and climb the weekly tournament with your friends.
In beta: some sounds and part of the artwork are still missing, and you may run into bugs.
There is no Bubble Island app for Android or iPhone from this site: no APK, no installer and nothing in an app store. The only way to play this edition is the website, in a browser.
You can open that website on a phone. Whether you should is a different question. The game is designed for a computer and played with a mouse, and touch screens have not been tested. We would rather say that than promise something we have not seen working.
The page layout does. When the window is narrower than 900 pixels, the friends panel moves below the game and starts folded, so the game itself gets the width.
That is a design decision for the page, nothing more. It does not prove that the game is comfortable to play with a finger, and we do not claim it is.
Everything related to touch. Bubble Island has only been tested with Chrome driven by an automated client, using a mouse. Taps, swipes, Firefox, Safari, phone browsers and tablets have not been verified.
So if it works for you on a phone, good, but that is luck rather than a promise. If something does not work, it is a known gap and not something you did wrong.
In Bubble Island the mouse moves the cannon's aim and a click fires. There are no keyboard controls during a round, so everything depends on pointing. Shots can bounce off the side walls, so precise aiming is part of the game.
How a tap or a drag on a touch screen turns into aiming and firing is exactly what has not been checked.
Rounds last 60 seconds and your score depends on landing shots where you mean to, so there is little time to waste on a misplaced one. A mouse gives you precise aiming, and on a computer the friends panel sits next to the game instead of below it.
The first load also downloads quite a lot of material, which is one more reason to begin on a computer with a stable connection. After that your account follows you: coins, lives, level and scores are saved on the server, so you can log in from another browser later.
Make a normal account and try a round. If the game does not start, reload it; if that keeps failing, use Clear game cache in the account menu. When you receive a gift, reload the game to see it.
If something goes wrong, open a ticket at /support while logged in, with a screenshot and a note of your phone model and browser. We cannot promise a fix, but that information is what the team needs to look at it.
This edition has no app, and any APK or installer that claims to be Bubble Island from this site should be treated as unsafe. Do not give your Facebook password, or any other password, to a page that offers one.
Wooga, the original studio, also released Bubble Island 2 on October 6, 2016, and press coverage from 2012 mentioned a mobile version of the first game. We have not checked whether either one is in an app store today, so we cannot point you to one. If you look for it yourself, read the listing and the publisher carefully.
Three steps and you're in.
From this home page. Each game opens at its own address, with its own start screen.
A quick sign-up inside the game. Your progress is saved on the server, not in your browser.
You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.
There is no Android app and no APK. You can open bubble.fbgamesweb.com in a phone browser, but Bubble Island is designed for a computer and played with the mouse, and touch screens have not been tested. We recommend a computer.
There is no iPhone app. The site opens in a phone browser, but the Bubble Island controls are made for a mouse and touch has not been tested. Safari and phone browsers in general have not been verified either, so we cannot promise it works.
No. This edition of Bubble Island is played only in the browser. There is no app, APK, installer or launcher from this site, so treat any file that claims to be one as unsafe and do not enter any password into it.
We do not know. In Bubble Island the mouse aims the cannon and a click fires, there are no keyboard controls, and touch screens have not been tested. If you try it on a phone or tablet, tell us how it went in a ticket.
When the window is narrower than 900 pixels, the Bubble Island page puts the friends panel under the game and starts it folded so the game gets the width. It is a layout choice for the page, not proof that touch play works.
Chrome on a computer, with a mouse, because it is the only combination we have tested for Bubble Island. Firefox, Safari and phone browsers have not been verified, and whichever browser you use needs the page's features turned on, or the site warns you and the game does not start.
Tablets have not been tested either. Bubble Island is designed for a computer and a mouse. If you try a tablet, expect rough edges, and report what happens in a ticket at /support so the team can see which devices give trouble.
Your coins, lives, level and scores are saved on the server and tied to your account, so you can log in from another browser and continue. Whether the game is comfortable on a phone is a separate question, and it has not been tested.
No. Bubble Island 2 is a separate game by Wooga released on October 6, 2016. This edition on FB Games is based on the original Bubble Island and runs in the browser at bubble.fbgamesweb.com. We have not checked where Bubble Island 2 is available today.
Reload the page, then try Clear game cache in the account menu. If Bubble Island still does not start, open a ticket at /support with a screenshot, your phone model and your browser. A computer with Chrome is the dependable fallback.
