'''Faerie Bubbles''' is an action game released on January 14, 2004. Its gameplay is similar to the classic game [[Wikipedia:Puzzle Bobble|Puzzle Bobble]].

==How to play==
The aim of the game is to clear all faerie bubbles from the screen before they pass the red penalty line. Users must group at least three bubbles of the same type together, which will make those bubbles pop. Bubbles are shot from the bubble cannon, which is guided by the left and right ''arrow keys'', centered with the ''up'' arrow, and fires bubbles with the ''space bar''. Besides directly shooting a bubble, users can bounce them off the wall, which can help reach areas which would be impossible as a straight shot. After a certain number of shots, the ceiling will lower, bringing the bubbles lower, and if any of the bubbles should pass below the penalty line, the game ends.

If a user gets four or more bubbles of the same type together it will set off a combo, which give special affects depending on the type of faerie bubble. The Dark, Earth, and Air combinations are considered to be bad while the Fire, Water, and Light are considered good (the Light faerie bubble is debatable due to its random nature, which can sometimes ruin or save gameplay). Their affects are...

*[[Water Faerie|Water]] - Destroys all water bubbles no matter where they are on the screen.
*[[Light Faerie|Light]] - Changes all bubbles touching the combo to a single random faerie bubble.
*[[Fire Faerie|Fire]] - Destroys all non-water bubbles that touch the combo.
*[[Air Faerie|Air]] - Will fill the whole line of each bubble with random bubbles.
*[[Earth Faerie|Earth]] - Makes a new line of bubbles appear at the top of the screen.
*[[Dark Faerie|Dark]] - All the bubbles in the combo will turn to random bubble types.  

The bubble cannon used in the game has the ability to show which two bubbles are going to be fired after the current one, a feature used to make a strategy. At random, the cannon will sometimes give two special types of faerie bubbles to fire, which give the game a sense of randomness. They are...

*[[Nova]] - Destroys all bubbles within two bubbles of where it lands.
*Rainbow - Turns into the same type of bubble it touches first.

A single game can consists of 20 levels, and users can pause gameplay by clicking the "''X''" in the top left hand corner of the screen to use certain options, such as turn music off and end the game. A user's score is decided by the number of bubbles they pop and how many bubbles they used to complete the level. The less bubbles, the higher the bonus will be.

===Codes===

==Trivia==
*Scoring 2000+ points will reward users with the ''Faerie Bubbles'' [[avatar]], released on February 13, 2006.
*The following characters had their score featured in [[Better Than You]]...
**[[Psellia]] - ????, June 23, 2005
*At the game start screen, if the user clicks the speck of fire on the first lower-case "b" in "Bubbles", [[TPOSG]] will briefly appear on the bottom right corner with water, earth and fire bubbles.
*Faerie Bubbles was featured in the [[Games Master Challenge]] and [[Daily Dare]].
*It's quite possible the game is based off the "Faerie Bubble" [[Food#Faerie Food|Faerie Food]] [[item]]s, which were released on ''(need date)'' (flavours later collected in ''Delicious Faerie Bubbles'', released February 2, 2004). There are also other items which feature Faerie Bubbles, such as a [[Book]] titled ''Faerie Bubbles'' (released January 27, 2004), which is said to give "Excellent strategies for the best score in the least moves possible". However, reading this or having this in a user's [[inventory]] does not affect gameplay. A ''Faerie Bubble Bracelet'' and ''Faerie Bubble Blower'' were also released as prizes for ''Daily Dare''.
*The percentage of NP users could earn from playing was raised 50% on January 15, 2004, and was raised again by an unknown amount on May 30, 2004.
*An error experienced with the pop-up menus was fixed on May 31, 2004.
