Each level will be given a limited number of bubbles indicated beside the slingshot known as the bubble count. Sometimes, there are some obstacles and special blocks appears at the top along with the bubbles. The game also has lives like all other match-3 games. Each level attempt must have at least a live in order to play. When you run out of bubbles, there will be an option to continue by purchasing 12 x  in exchange for 5 bubbles and 1 x  each time or to give up. When you give up, will lose one of the lives. Afterwards, you may retry or if available watch an advertisement video to earn free boost at the beginning of the next attempt. If you lost all the lives, you must purchase with 10 x  to continue playing. The game will feature the five characters that appears in Angry Birds Stella formerly, and after the Hamhock Holmes update, 4 characters from Angry Birds and Stella remained. Each character will have a special power that can be used when the Pop Meter is full to unlock powerful boosts from their powers like Stella's Power Pop, Bomb's Blast Pop and many more. To fill the Pop Meter, you have to get x6 Streaks, that means 6 pops in a row. The levels are in different modes and each of them marked as an icon and the level number. Each kind of levels have a music in the game that distinguish types of gameplay.
