How To Play

For a video, search for “How To Play Bubbly Primes”. It really only takes a few seconds to figure out the basic game.

- Tap “Start” to begin.
- Tap bubbles that contain composite numbers (numbers you can factor).
- As bubbles pop apart your score goes up.
- Keep popping them until they’re broken down to prime numbers.
- As prime numbers get to the top, they raise your score.
- Avoid tapping prime number bubbles. If you do, they’ll darken and fall to the bottom, lowering your score.
- As your score rises, playful critters appear.
- You can tap critters to change what they do.
- You can tap the water to make waves that move bubbles or critters.
- When a non-prime “composite” number gets to the top, it turns reddish and it’s too late to factor it.
- When five composites escape to the top, the round ends.
- If your score is one of the five highest, you can chose a critter for its symbol.

Fantastic Game for All Ages!
Isis Nocturne

Bubbly Prime may be designed for children to help them with math, but it’s tons of fun for every age! The game has the simple premise of helping you learn your prime numbers, but adds difficulty as the numbers get higher and the critters try to prevent the bubbles from rising to the top of the screen. It’s utterly addicting and absolutely worth the purchase!

I love this game. My grandkids are playing on my iPad, and are having an amazing good time. I like playing, and we are getting into beating each other's scores. They've never had so much fun with numbers.

So much fun!

Such a fun game! My 10 year old & I had some quality bonding while we learned at the same time. Great for all ages. Whether to reinforce math facts or to exercise your brain, Bubbly Prime is fun for young and old alike.

Learn math and have fun

What a great idea! Why didn't they have this when I was in elementary school? I wanted to brush up on my basic math skills. So I downloaded this to try it. It is great. It taught me to memorize my prime numbers and was fun enough to keep my interest. Yesterday, I was driving down the 880 freeway and instantly thought: 880 = 2*2*2*2*5*11. Yes! I got it.

Fun! Addictive!

I bought two copies of this game. One for myself, and one for my daughter. My daughter “HATES” math. That’s a quote. The game is fun. It has cool characters and great sound-effects (sort of like the satisfying sound of popping the bubbles in bubble-wrap). My daughter and her two friends play the game now a lot. Really a lot. My daughter is now getting scores that are way higher than my scores. I’m sure I could do better if I practiced more. On the other hand, she is not really practicing. She would never practice. She is playing. I guess that’s the whole idea. We need more games like this!

Bubbly Primes makes me smile!

When I see the kids playing Bubbly Prime, I smile, because I know how much it helps their math. I enjoy playing it too. It's convenient to play on the phone whenever there's a few minutes here or there, but it's even better on the iPad. I really like the little characters in the game. And, did you know 87 is 29 x 3? I certainly didn't before, but now I do.

Very fun and educational for the whole family.

Not just the kids. I have enjoyed playing it as well!

Bubbly Primes is fun! It is good for every age group to recall basic math. The beginning seems easy, but as more and more bubbles show up you have to go faster and faster as the screen is filled with bubbles. The shrimp and sea urchins are my favorite part. Shrimpy is my favorite character. Keeping the bubbles away from shrimpy is the best part.
