''Bloons Pop Three'' | ''Bloons Pop Three'' is played on an 8×8 grid of random Bloons that come in seven different colors. The player can click on one Bloon, then a second Bloon vertically or horizontally adjacent to it, to swap their positions. The player can only make a move if it creates a match by lining up at least three Bloons of the same color vertically or horizontally. After swapping, all matched Bloons pop, triggering any special Bloons' effects and scoring points, then all Bloons below the ones that popped float upwards, and new random Bloons spawn from under the board to fill in the gaps. | ||
After creating a match, if the final positions of all Bloons create another match, those matched Bloons also pop, starting a combo that adds to a score multiplier and repeats the process. The combo ends once the Bloons reach a final position that does not create a match, which resets the score multiplier and allows the player to make the next move. | After creating a match, if the final positions of all Bloons create another match, those matched Bloons also pop, starting a combo that adds to a score multiplier and repeats the process of moving and spawning Bloons to fill the gaps.
