After the game loads, click the Click to Play button to begin. This loads the Bubble Tanks 3 main screen.

To start playing, click the triangle-shaped start button. For other options, see below.

HOW TO PLAY. Use the WASD keys to move your bubble tank. Use your mouse to aim. Hold the left mouse button down to shoot. Press the Spacebar for second fire.

Destroy enemy bubble tanks by shooting them. Steal their bubbles and grow!

Receiving damage from enemy weapons will weaken your tank. If you are hit and you have no bubbles collected, you'll be automatically ejected to the safest adjacent bubble field.

Sometimes the best course is to simply run!

The overall battlefield consists of individual bubble fields. Each of these is a different level of difficulty.

To move from one bubble field to another, simply press the WASD keys until you move from one big bubble to another.

The farther away you go from your starting bubble field, the harder the enemies become.
