Pop colorful bubbles in Bubble Witch 3 Saga  to rescue creatures in the magical world while you are trying to save the Queen of Fairies.

The story starts with Wilbur the Cat kidnapping the Queen of Fairies, and leaves footprints behind as he runs away. Stella quickly goes to the queen's rescue, first she has to save the owls trapped in the bubbles! Shoot bubbles upwards, aiming for a group with the same color. Once your bubble matches the ones above, the bubbles will pop. If there is an owl in the bubble, the owl will fly away. The circle in the bottom center holds 2 bubbles usually, you can swap them by tapping the middle of the circle. The number in the circle is the amount of bubbles you have to, and you need to win the level before your bubbles run out. 

Every cat paw print is a level, and there are about 10 levels before you get a chance to face off with Wilbur once. The first few levels help you warm up your aiming skills while teaching you the rules. Your friend, Nero the Cat appears to guide you through the guides, and also to tell you how to deal with interesting bubbles. There is also a ruler guide to help you aim. Bubbles also bounce off walls, so if you are aiming for higher rows, the aiming guide is helpful to show you where to shoot. 

After a few levels, Nero gives you his orb power. When you shoot bubbles, it goes into his hat. Once the orb fills up, it will move to your Bubble Shooter. You can keep the orb for next use by tapping the center of your shooter like normal. If the bubble color is not what you need, you can aim it at Nero's hat to fill the orb quicker. You have 5 lives, which refills every 30 minutes when you lose one. You can gain more lives by asking friends, or buying them using gold bars. 

Once you manage a few more levels, there are new side quests. Wilbur will destroy your house and the fairy will offer to rebuild it while you try to continue to save the queen.
