BubblePopAge is a casual idle game. A number of colorful bubbles are bouncing around the screen at all times. Your goal is to pop them by tapping, complete levels, earn gold coins, and keep upgrading and unlocking new skins.
### 2. Core Gameplay
- **Getting Started**: When a level starts, a group of bubbles (30 by default) bounce and drift randomly around the screen.
- **Popping Bubbles**: Tap or swipe on a bubble with your finger to pop it. The bubble bursts with a satisfying animation (scale-up explosion, rotation, shrink-and-fade), and your level progress count increases.
- **Tutorial**: On your first entry, a brief tutorial (crosshair + aiming lines + hint text) is shown. Tap anywhere to dismiss it and start playing.
### 3. Level Rules
- A progress bar at the top shows "Popped Bubbles / Goal".
- **Goal**: Pop a certain number of bubbles to pass the level (25 by default).
- **Fail Condition**: The level ends in failure if all bubbles on screen are popped before reaching the goal.
- **Rewards for Passing**:
- Advance to the next level (Level +1).
- The goal number increases by 5 each level.
- A new bubble skin is unlocked for each level cleared.
### 4. Coins & Economy
- **Earning Coins**: Every popped bubble yields gold. When a level ends, coins equal to (bubbles popped this level × gold per bubble) are added to your total.
- **Offline Earnings**: Gold accumulates while you are away (1 coin per full minute by default). When you return, an "Offline Earnings" popup lets you collect what you earned.
- **Number Formatting**: Large coin totals are displayed in short forms such as K / m / b / t for readability.
### 5. Upgrade System (Costs Coins)
Three upgrades are available; the cost of each rises as it levels up:
1. **Bubble Count**: Adds 1 more bouncing bubble to the field, making goals easier to reach.
2. **Coin Gain**: Increases the gold earned per bubble (roughly ×1.25 per upgrade).
3. **Offline Income**: Increases gold earned per minute while offline (roughly ×1.28 per upgrade).
### 6. Skins
- There are 30 bubble skins in total.
- The first skin is used by default; the rest are unlocked one by one as you clear levels.
- On the skin menu you can switch to any unlocked skin, and it applies to all bubbles on the field immediately.
### 7. Game Over & Revival
When you fail a level, the result screen offers these choices:
- **Watch a Reward Ad to Revive**: Watch a short video ad to revive and continue the current level (limited revival chances per level).
- **Watch a Reward Ad for Coins**: Watch a video ad to receive (bubbles popped this level × gold per bubble × 10) coins, then restart the level.
- **Restart Directly**: Skip the ad, claim the coins earned this level, and restart the level.
### 8. Social & Sharing
- Share the game with friends, complete with an invite image and message.
- Friend leaderboards are supported: your score is submitted based on your current level, and you can view your friends' rankings.
### 9. Tips
- Upgrading "Bubble Count" early helps you clear levels faster; "Coin Gain" and "Offline Income" suit players who prefer idle play.
- Level goals keep growing, so balance pushing levels versus upgrading wisely.
