Burble is an innovative online and mobile word game developed by Charlie Dog Games. Burble reminds of the 2004 game of the year Zuma where different colored balls are rolling in a spiral heading towards a yellow skull sculpture. The balls have to be reorganized by color to prevent the tail from reaching the deadly skull. Burble exchanges the spiral by curved tubes and the balls by curved letters with the aim of rearranging the letters in a logic way. Thats how we like it: Make words out of letters.
How to play Burble?
Playing this word game is as simple as enjoyable. Swap letters by dragging them to another position to make words of at least four letters. Be aware that swapping letters always means reduced word scores. If you swapped the letters in a way that they create a word it is highlighted and you only need to accept by clicking at it. Collect as many words as possible to get your score bar to a hundred percent and finish the level. Tab the beginning of the tube if you need more letters. Don’t ask for too many letters since the game is lost if your letter bubbles accumulated up to the end of the tube. Creating as many words as possible will prevent the bubbles from reaching the end of the tube because they burst if you found a correct word. Complete levels to unlock new ones. After you have completed all levels the game will unlock the final bonus level.

Nice one! I like the suggestion of words, so as a non native speaker I can learn a lot of new English words “by accident” 🙂
This is a really fun game, the graphics are really nice as well.
I have a lot of fun trying to create the biggest word I can. I also like the reward system for words that you have not previously spelt. I highly recommend this game to anyone!
