Games like Bubble Spinner

Shoot colored bubbles at a cluster that turns after each impact. These free browser games keep the rotating-wheel idea but differ in progression, aiming tools and how a run ends.

  1. A finite rotating-wheel campaign

    Whirlforge

    By Goblin Originals

    Controls
    Mouse, touch, or keyboard
    Progression
    12 stages and 36 medals

    Aim colored sparks at a rotating hex wheel and match connected groups of three or more. Off-center hits turn the wheel. Burst a branch’s only support to drop every disconnected spark, and bank shots off the walls to reach hidden pockets.

    Choose this for an authored ending, saved stage unlocks and medal replay. Every stage has a shot limit, with separate goals for bronze, silver and gold.

  2. The original endless score challenge

    Controls
    Aim with the mouse; click to shoot
    Progression
    An open-ended high-score run

    Shoot matching colors into the rotating cluster and clear groups of three or more. The developer’s 2008 listing presents one continuous challenge without distinct levels or upgrades.

    Choose this for the spare mouse-first score chase that established the format. The goal is to keep clearing and improve your score instead of finishing a campaign.

  3. Level play with swaps and boosters

    Bubble Spinner Pro

    By Bubble Shooter

    Controls
    Drag and click, or drag and tap
    Progression
    Levels with three-star goals

    Aim into a wheel around a central post, form matching groups and drop unsupported bubbles. You can swap the two ready projectiles, bank shots off the walls or ceiling and use level boosters.

    Choose this for helper tools and power-ups. New bubbles can attach after missed shots or waiting, so keeping the wheel under control matters as much as lining up the next match.

Whirlforge is our game. Bubble Spinner is linked through the original developer’s Kongregate page; Bubble Spinner Pro opens its publisher’s player. These are separate games, not versions of one another.
