Tap any group of three or more touching bubbles of the same colour to clear it. Bigger groups leave bombs and rainbows behind. Four modes: untimed relaxation, a level journey with objectives, a timed high-score run, and one that combines two or three rule sets at once.
Q-Bounce (Q弹消消乐) is a bubble-popping puzzle game of the tap-a-group kind: click any run of three or more touching bubbles of the same colour and they clear. Bigger groups are worth more than the sum of their parts — clear enough at once and you are left with a bomb, and clear more than that and you get a rainbow.
It is a much larger game than the genre usually gets in a browser. There are dozens of levels with their own objectives and records, a shop with hammers, bombs and shuffles bought with coins, and a mode that combines two or three rule sets at once so the same board plays differently.
How to play Q-Bounce
- Click any group of three or more connected bubbles of the same colour to clear them.
- Clear larger groups to leave special pieces behind — bombs first, rainbows for the biggest clears. Each rainbow you make is worth a coin.
- Levels have a move limit and a set of objectives; complete all of them to unlock the next one.
- Tools bought with coins — hammer, bomb, shuffle — do not cost you a move, but the board's own hazards keep advancing while you use them.
- Pick a single rule set to play straight through, or choose two or three in the combined mode for a harder board.

Why it's worth your time
For a single 200 KB file it carries a surprising amount of structure: per-level records, a coin economy, a tool inventory, level select, an export-and-import backup for your save, and a history of your last five saves. It is closer to a small released mobile game than to a prototype.
The save is local to your browser, and the game gives you a backup file rather than assuming you will never switch machines. It has a cloud save too, but that talks to the author's own server, so it only works on the original site — everything else works here.
How it was made and where it lives
Hosted on the author's own page. The author publishes as zding. Original: https://qbxxl.0nz.de/. The Play button above runs our own unmodified copy, so the game keeps working here if that page goes down — which on free hosting usually has nothing to do with the author. Nothing about the game itself is changed, and the original stays linked from every page.

Frequently asked questions

- Is it in English?
- No, the interface is in Chinese, though tapping matching colours needs little translation.
- How many levels are there?
- Dozens, across several rule sets, plus a mode that combines two or three of them at once.
