Play Bubbles Online
You're a bouncy soap bubble dodging spikes and popping enemies—starts chill, then suddenly you're ricocheting off walls like a pinball. That floaty jump physics makes close calls feel awesome.
Bubbles is a 1982 arcade game from Williams Electronics, playable today through MAME. It arrived during a period when arcade cabinets were experimenting with more abstract concepts, and this one definitely stands out for its unusual premise. You don't control a spaceship or a hero; you're a sentient soap bubble trying to clean up a messy kitchen.
You navigate a single-screen maze, moving your bubble to touch and encase enemy creatures, which transforms them into more bubbles. The main goal is to clear each stage by capturing every foe, but you must avoid sharp obstacles like spikes that will pop you instantly. The pacing starts deceptively simple, but the challenge ramps up quickly as the number of enemies increases and their movements become more erratic. The floaty, momentum-based movement gives the game a unique physical feel, making successful escapes incredibly satisfying. It feels like a tense, slippery puzzle where every bounce matters.
