Codes to Remember
At any point in the game, you can type any of these four words in to help you out. Don't worry, these are perefectly legal (:! In the guide, I tell you where the best places to use these are, but ultimately, it's up to you when you want to use them.
Typing slumberberry will get rid of all the gray blocks pushing the bubbles to the bottom of the screen, and move your bubbles back up to the top. This is incredibly helpful.
Typing bubbles will turn every single bubble on your screen into a single colour. Think of it as a giant light combo. But be warned, they can turn into dark bubbles, which is anything but helpful. Also, it should be noted that despite what colour they become, you will continue to get bubbles in your cannon of the colours they were before typing in 'bubbles'. ALSO, there is a chance that they will all turn into rainbow or nova bubbles. If that's the case, you have to type 'faerieland' and use your other cheat to get out of it, unfortunately =(. This one is sort of a double-edged sword; it can save your life or it can really kil you...
Typing stardust turns your active bubble into a nova. This is incredibly helpful (:.
Typing faerieland turns your active bubble into a rainbow bubble. It's quite the help! =)
The Different Bubbles
The helpful combos- These combos will ALWAYS benefit you, no matter what the situation!
The lovely water bubble. When you shoot a water bubble into three or more other water bubbles, every single water bubble on your screen melts away. Any bubbles being held up only by the water bubbles go with it. This is perhaps the most helpful combo in the game (:.
The amazing fire bubble. When you shoot a fire bubble into a group of three or more other fire bubbles, they burn away every single NON-WATER bubble that the combo is touching. This generally clears away a good deal of other bubbles, and usually gets rid of undesirable combos! Quite helpful (:.
------
The Situationally Helpful Combos- Watch out! These *CAN* be helpful, but they can also cost you the game!
The light bubble. This one doesn't get a special adjective because it's not always so special. If you shoot a light bubble into a group of three or more light bubbles, it changes the colour of every single bubble the combo is touching (they all change into the same colour), then drops. See how it can be your downfall? If it turns a bunch of your bubbles into an Earth or Dark combo, you'd better pray for a nova bubble.
Ahh, yes. The controversial air bubble! If you shoot an air bubble into a group of three or more other air bubbles, it fills up every row with randomly-coloured bubbles. Every row that an air bubble that's a part of the combo happens to be in. See, despite what the description on the game page says, Air Combos are *NOT* always bad news (:. In fact, if used wisely, these combos *CAN* be even more helpful than a fire or water combo in some cases. Key word, *SOME* cases. If you don't shoot the bubble with complete precision, you will cost yourself the level! D=.
------
The never helpful combos- These combos will never benefit you. Try to avoid doing them as much as possible. Only perhaps ONCE or TWICE in my entire time of playing Faerie Bubbles has ONLY the Dark Combo helped me in any way... so I guess 'never' is not a good word choice, but you know what I mean (:.
Meet the devious dark bubble. When you shoot a dark bubble into a group of three or more other dark bubbles, every single dark bubble involved in the combo will turn into another bubble of complete random colour (but never dark). See, this isn't exactly detrimental, but it's CERTAINLY not a help! It just creates a mess on your screen. If enough bubbles are involved (five or more) it WILL be detrimental, so be careful!
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the TRUE culprit of this game. The Air Combos take too much glory, when the real jerk of the combos is this smug leaf bubble right here! The dreaded Earth Bubble. Shooting one Earth Bubble into a group of three or more other Earth Bubbles will create an entire new line of bubbles at the top of the screen, usually creating other combos you don't want to fulfill. The new line of bubbles created is a completely random assortment, and trust me, it's just *NEVER* worth it to do an Earth combo (:.
------
The life-saving random bubbles!- Seriously, these things will brighten your day ANY time you get one. They have saved my life on numerous occasions, and can turn the most hopeless of cases into a ray of sunshine! I LOVE these guys!
The loveable Rainbow bubble! This is, as you can see, coloured with every element. It changes into the colour of whichever bubble you shoot it at. For example, you face your cannon at a huuuge fire combo, and luck hasn't been kind to you with the fire bubbles. You shoot this little beauty at that combo and it turns into a fire bubble (:.
The life-saving Nova bubble! Oh, I LOVE seeing this in my cannon, no matter WHAT level I'm on, no matter HOW close to done I am. This guy will save you at *LEAST* four potential shots if you aim properly (:. The Nova Bubble hits an area of bubbles and completely destroys them. It destroys any bubble it touches and usually a few outside of it if properly aimed! Always be careful and very wise with these (:.
Level One
Okay, my friends, are you ready to start? Of course you are! So... without further adieu, let's begin (:!
You probably saw this and started shooting your cannon off, right?
Don't!! That is NOT a good starting setup!!!
Remember! Faerie Bubbles is scored based on how many shoots you make. The fewer shoots you make, the better. That level would be fine if not for the light bubble in the cannon. That's an extra unnecessary shot, and will cost you a lot of points, especially if another light bubble pops up after it's gone.
Your best bet as a good starter level would be fire-heavy (with bubbles that can be burnt away, leaving only one fire bubble in each of the upper corners, and your cannon should only have fire bubbles in it) or water-heavy.
Keep restarting until you get a perfect one. It's not worth it to lose so many points on the first level. (:
This is the level I ended up choosing when I wrote this guide. It's an ideal starting level because it has only one water bubble in the cannon, which will get rid of ALL of the water bubbles on my screen, and then an air bubble - which is all that will be left when the water melts away! (:
This level is fairly easy and self-explanitory; just clear the screen in as few shoots as possible, and make the most of your red aiming lines, because they will be gone in the next level.
To level two!
Level Two
On to the second level! You're doing great! (:
This was the level two I was presented with. I got rather lucky! I didn't get a water bubble in my cannon, but either way, I'd have needed to get rid of those light bubbles, right?
If you get a setup similar to mine, or if you just want aiming help, this is the way to position your cannon if this is the shot you wish to make
I was able to get rid of those pesky light bubbles next to the lovely water bubbles =D!
If the combo in the middle of the level is a helpful combo, do it!! Mine was a water combo in this case.
If it is not a helpful combo, attempt to change it with a light combo or burn it away with a fire combo. If it's air, get rid of one of the bubbles next to it, and shoot an air bubble into the vacant space. If the row is full already, the air combo cannot create anymore bubbles and will simply drop. So... if you hit it properly, it won't be harmful! =)
Once again, clear the screen in as few shots as possible, and if possible, do a combo but remember, don't make any extra shots!! (:.
To level three!
Level Three
Good job so far! Now we're at the third level! (:
I got lucky again! Oh, this is going to turn around on me soon... but! For now, I'll enjoy it! =D
For this level, I got lucky with fire combos, but first I had to get rid of those air bubbles in my cannon. So, I got rid of the air bubble to the left.
If you get a setup similar to mine, or wish to do the combo on your screen, aim your cannon like this and you WILL make that shot!
If you did not get lucky with combos in this level, do whatever you can (fire or light bubbles) to get rid of the combos. If the bubbles on your upper right and left corners were air bubbles, get rid of one of the bubbles in the middle (where my air bubbles were) and shoot an air bubble into the vacant space. There will be no room for any more bubbles, and they will simply drop (:.
As was the same with the previous levels, clear your screen in as few shots as possible! The nice thing about Faerie Bubbles is that there is NO time limit, so take as long as you'd like!
To level four!
Level Four
Welcome to the fourth level! (:
Hmm... this isn't a bad level by any means, but it could have been better! At east I started off with two fire bubbles to help get rid of those devious dark bubbles (:.
Watch carefully as I show you how to get out of a mess like this.
Aim your cannon carefully! If you set it up like this, you'll be safe! Just make sure you don't miss this shot (:.
And that's how to make the second shot. Bravo! /clap The rest is history! Well...sort of.
If your level was different, there's no need to worry! If, however, you have fire bubbles in the same places I had them in this picture, you should burn away the combo above it unless it's a water combo - in which case this would be a very easy level, hehe.
If you have air bubbles where I had dark bubbles here, shoot down one of the bubbles next to your air combo and shoot an air bubble in the vacant space. The air combo will simply drop because there will be no spaces to fill with bubbles (:. If it's a water combo, definitely shoot it down! If you can do a light combo to change the colours of an evil combo (Like EARTH!) then definitely do so =)! Just always remember to do any helpful combos (such as fire or water) BEFORE doing a light combo!
To level five!
Level Five
The fifth level! Oh, how I love this one! ♥
Oh, my! The nova bubble must know how much I love him! He showed up for me while I was writing my guide. ♥! Anyway, this level is incredibly easy.
*HOWEVER,* if you got a level similar to mine, in that fire was one of your combos, don't do the fire combo until you've already shot down the combo it's touching. It will automatically burn away one of them (in this case earth) and then you'll have to make an extra shot to get rid of the Earth combo!
*HOWEVER, HOWEVER!* if you get two fire bubbles as your start and you aim properly, you can get rid of the fire combo *AND* the one it's touching in two shots (:. That's definitely worth it! But only do this if you think you can, so as not to waste extra shots!
If one of your big combos is an air combo, and there's no way for you to get rid of it (with either a light or a fire combo), DO IT FIRST. Trust me, if you get rid of the air combo first, it will fill up less spaces with random bubbles and you have a much better chance of making it. IF AND ONLY IF there is no way for you to change or get rid of the combo!
If one of your big combos is an earth or dark combo, and there's no way for you to change or get rid of them, save them for last (:. Less chance of creating an unwanted combo that way.
To level six!
Level Six
The sixth level... I am NOT a fan...
The reason? Because of how random and annoying it is! It's not a hard level in any way, shape, or form. In fact, I don't think I've ever lost or witnessed a loss on this level before. No, the reason I so heavily dislike level six is because of how many shots you have to make.
And what's even more annoying is that every time I finally get a colour to get off my screen, one of them pops back into my cannon and I'm stuck with it again! Argghh!
The one thing I can tell you is if you get a nova bubble, aim it at the middle. See how there are two of each combos that are at the ends, but the ones in the middle are unique? (: Get rid of those so that if you get two of the same colour, it's more likely that you'll actually NEED those!
Aaand, unfortunately, there's really not much else I can guide you with on this level, except to just clear it as fast and efficiently as possible, and to be very careful not to make any unnecessary shots (:!
Aww look... rainbow bubble is paying me a visit now, hehe ♥.
To level seven!
Level Eight
The eighth level can either make you or break you. In some cases, you get water, fire, and light combos. In others, you'll get dark, air, and earth combos. Remember, if you lose here, there's no shame! It can be a very aggravating level, and there's nothin wrong with starting over (:.
I got rather lucky... again... with this level! I did get one unfortunate icky earth combo, but as luck would have it, it's sitting right next to a fire combo.
In this level, if you have a light combo next to a fire combo, ALWAYS DO THE FIRE COMBO FIRST. THE SAME RULE APPLIES TO LIGHT COMBOS NEXT TO WATER COMBOS! Believe me, it is not worth the risk of potentially turning your gift of a fire or water combo into a curse of earth or air. Air combos can be a death trap in this level so be very, very, very careful.
If you got an absolutely terrible setup for this level, do your best to change whatever combos you can using light bubbles or burning them away with fire bubbles. It might even be worth it to activate a dark combo, just to see if one of the dark bubbles turns into a fire bubble, so you've got a chance to burn the rest of the bad combos away.
Remember, there's no harm in taking a loss on this level. ♥ Practise makes perfect! Luckily, I seem to get good combos about 70% of the time I get to this level (:.
To level nine!
Level Nine
The ninth level... I ♥LOVE♥ this level!
The reason this level is so amazing is because it's easy to do the combos, and they're usually good combos! (:
I've included guides to positioning the cannon below, just in case someone reading this was lucky enough to get a good combo. (You know, not like that awful earth combo I got).
Move your cannon ever so slightly to the left, JUST like it is here.
And then again, move it verrryyy slightly to the right, and fire!
If, however, you were not fortunate enough to get a good combo, it's no problem. The amazing and wonderful level nine does not have any required combos, so you can just hack and slash the screen without using any combos until it's cleared! (:
If you do have good combos, especially if you have a water combo at your disposal, I'd highly suggest using it. But if you're still not sure of your positioning-the-cannon skills, it's not worth risking a loss here ♥. Did I mention that I LOVE level nine?!
To level ten!
Level Twelve
The twelfth level is so much fun! Seriously, there's rarely a time I reach this level and groan at the combos I'm presented with (:.
It's pretty self-explanitory. Unfortunately, if you're stuck with an earth combo on the bottom row and the first bubble in your cannon is an earth combo, you've got no choice but to do it =(.
If the top row of bubbles are all water bubbles, you can set up a four-bubble water combo on the bottom row and clear the entire screen that way! I've done it before. But be warned, if you don't get enough water bubbles to complete the combo and the bubbles get close to the bottom of the screen, it's better not to clear it this way (:.
Don't be afraid of air combos! Air combos are AMAZING in this level. Seriously, if you have an air combo on the top row, get to it as fast as possible and use it. It'll clear your screen. The same goes for air combos on the bottom or middle row. They will HELP you! Water and fire combos are also, as usual, great in this level (:.
Just try to avoid earth and dark combos here. That's an entire row of random bubbles you don't want! Light combos should *ONLY* be used if they are not touching an air, fire, or water combo.
To level thirteen!
Level Thirteen
Lucky thirteen! Usually. I got slammed on this level while I wrote this =(. Lol. But there's always a way out! :P
If you were given combos like mine, you really don't have a choice here. You shouldn't be wasting your codes on levels this early, soooo it's best to take the point loss and make the extra few shots.
If you were given good combos (air, water, fire) for this level, DO THEM!! *HOWEVER*, if your air combos are on the top row, BE CAREFUL. That single bubble in the middle on the top causes the bubbles created by the air combos to stay on the screen. Before activating the air combos, GET RID OF THAT BUBBLE, and shoot your air bubble where it was. (Press the up arrow key to have the cannon point automatically at the vacant space! ^-^)
Fire and water combos, once again, are great in this level, ALWAYS. Light combos are helpful in earth or dark-heavy levels. Just remember to aim carefully (:. Level thirteen can really be deceptive!
To level fourteen!
Level Twenty
The twentieth level... believe me, I know. I'm glad we've made it this far! (:
This level is absolute craziness.
But don't worry, you don't even need to clear it to get the avatar!
As long as you have 1,750+ points, even if you lose, you get the 250-pt bonus just for getting to the 20th level, so even if you lose, you'll get the avatar! So the only important tip for this level is to make sure you have a score of at least 1,751 to ensure your avvie! (:.
But don't worry, I'm sure anyone at this point would have a number close to that.
Personally, I have only ever cleared this level about five times myself, and proudly enough, I never had any codes left by the time I reached this point, hehe ;) ♥.
