A marble popper game is a puzzle game similar to match 3 games. The big difference is that in marble popper games you shoot the marbles into the line of marbles that are on the board and line up three or more to have them removed.

Marble popper games

Step1

Pick a game site. If you don't have a favorite, Real Arcade and Big Fish are two sites that are very popular. You can join these sites and pay a monthly fee, which entitles you to a free game each month. You can also get other games at a reduced price. The links are in the resource section.

Step2

Select a game. There are many to choose from, Zuma and Luxor are two of the more popular marble popper games.

Step3

Check the requirements of the game. You need to be sure that you computer meets all the requirements or the game may not work. Be sure your anti virus is up to date and download the game.

Step4

Play the game. Most games have a 60-minute free period. Take advantage of it. This way you will be able to check that it is a game that you like. You may find the game is too challenging for you and you just can't be bothered playing it or you may fall in love with it and want to buy it immediately.

Step5

Aim your marble at the group of marbles. You want to try to put the marble in a spot that will match at least three of the same color. They will be removed and the movement of the marbles will slow down until they close the gap. Continue getting the marbles in the right spot and you won't have to worry about losing the round.

Step6

Complete the level. Clearing all the marbles off the board completes the level and allows you to advance to the next level. Be careful though if the marbles reach the Golden Skull or whatever it is called in the game you are playing, you lose the level and a life.

Step7

Gain more lives. In each game you will have to read the help to find out how you get more lives. In Zuma, you need to reach a certain amount of points to earn another life. Try to earn as many lives as you can early in the game--you will need them later.

Step8

Finish the game. The game is over when you have cleared all the levels or you have run out of lives. You now have succeeded in playing a marble popper game.
