Bubble Witch 3 Saga is a Match 3 Saga game from King.
Making matches of 3 or more bubbles of the same color will destroy them and remove them from the game board.
You can play on your own or connect with friends. Use Flynn the message owl to answer your friends requests and when you need help yourself you'll get lives in return.
The Bubble Shooter usually has two colored bubbles.
The bubble at the top is the next bubble you'll shoot, the bubble at the bottom comes after.
You can swap the bubble by tapping on the center of your Bubble Shooter (where you see the number).
This number in the bubble shooter lets you know how many bubbles you have left.
Aim the shooter and link 3 bubbles of the same color together. Matching will cause all connected bubbles of the same color to be destroyed
Any bubbles that are knocked off when you make a match, will fall into the vortex.

Each Owl has a specific color and these colors are the same as the bubbles. Make a match that is the same as the color of an Owl in order to collect it!
