Bubble Island is a bubble puzzle game by Wooga: you aim a cannon, match three or more bubbles of the same color to pop them, and try to score as much as you can in a 60-second round. The original appeared on Facebook in 2010. This page explains what the game is, where it comes from and what the FB Games edition at bubble.fbgamesweb.com is: a free, independent and unofficial beta with an account of its own, no Flash and nothing to install.
Here is the game: open it, create a free account of your own and fire your first round of bubbles. It is a beta, so expect a few rough edges.
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.
Bubble Island is a bubble shooter. Rows of colored bubbles fill the field and you have a cannon that fires one bubble at a time. When a shot lands so that three or more bubbles of the same color touch, the whole group pops. Bubbles that end up cut off from the rest fall away and earn extra points.
You aim with the mouse and fire with a click. A round lasts 60 seconds, so a game is quick to pick up and easy to repeat, and your score is what you take away from each one.
Bubble Island was made by Wooga, a game studio from Berlin founded in 2009. It launched on Facebook in 2010 and won a Best Social Game award at the 2010 European Games Award.
The Facebook version had a mode called Level of the Week: a 60-second challenge where you clear as many bubbles as you can while new rows arrive from the top, then compare your result with your friends. It also had an Adventure Mode with ten island areas, which the final version removed to make room for improvements. Years later Wooga released Bubble Island 2, a separate game, on October 6, 2016.
This is a browser edition made by an independent project, FB Games. It is unofficial, free and in beta. It is not Wooga's site, and it does not run on Facebook.
You need an account of your own. Neither sign-up nor login offers Facebook or Google, and progress from the Facebook game is not imported: everyone starts with a fresh account. The game and its pages come in English and Spanish.
There is a single game mode here, the weekly tournament, shown in the game as Weekly Tournament and based on the old Level of the Week. There is no Adventure Mode, no island map and no worlds.
Each round uses three colors drawn from eight: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, black and white. New rows keep coming in from the top while you clear bubbles, and special time bubbles add seconds to the clock. The round ends when the time runs out, which counts as a win, or sooner if the bubbles reach the bottom line, which counts as a loss.
Streaks of hits build into a special state called Fire Mode, and four boosts can rescue a crowded board. Scoring, boosts and levels are covered step by step in our how-to-play guide, so we will not repeat them here.
The tournament is the heart of this edition. Each week runs from Monday 00:00 UTC to the following Monday 00:00 UTC, your best score from rounds you won is the one that counts, and you can compare yourself on the Week, Global and Friends leaderboards.
Friends are other real players of this site. You find them by username, send a request, see who is online, trade small gifts and chat.
Yes. Some sounds and part of the artwork are still missing, and bugs can show up. There are settings for music and sound effects, but not every sound is in place yet. Video ads and purchases with Facebook Credits do not exist in this edition.
The first load downloads quite a bit of material and may take a while; later visits are faster because your browser keeps it. Bubble Island is designed for a computer and a mouse, and touch screens have not been tested.
If you want to play, the how-to-play guide takes you from sign-up to your first score. The private server guide explains what an own server means for accounts and saved progress, and the no-Flash guide lists what your browser needs.
Two more guides cover common worries: the mobile guide gives an honest answer for Android and iPhone, and the download guide helps you spot fake installers. If you are after something different, the games-like guide compares Bubble Island with other bubble shooters. The game itself lives at bubble.fbgamesweb.com.

Yes. This edition of Bubble Island runs in the browser with no Flash, no plugins and no installation. You open the page, log in with your account and play. Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, so none of this depends on it.
A username, a password and the same password again. Email is optional and only serves as a contact. The Bubble Island site does not send emails, so if you forget your password you ask for a reset and the team gives you a code.

Just one: the weekly tournament, shown in the game as Weekly Tournament and based on the original Level of the Week. There is no Adventure Mode, island map or worlds in this edition. Your best score of the week counts, and there are leaderboards for the week, global and friends.
No. Bubble Island is an original game by Wooga. This is an independent, unofficial browser edition made by FB Games, which is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wooga, Facebook or Meta. Because it is a beta, some sounds and part of the artwork are still missing.
The Bubble Island site and the game come in English and Spanish only. There are buttons for both, and the game uses the language of the page you are on. No other language is available, so a guide in another language still leads to a game in English or Spanish.
Bubble Island is designed for a computer and is played with the mouse. Touch screens have not been tested, so we recommend a PC rather than promising anything about phones. Our mobile guide explains what we know about Android and iPhone and what we do not know yet.
