I have IOS 6, game version 1.1.1,
I was playing Bubblemania, it told me multiple times that the game had been updated and was about to refresh. I hit Okay and the game refreshed everything I'd just done. This started to get very annoying after about three times having to repeat levels 21 and 22 because this kept happening. I restarted my phone but that did not help so I decided to just leave it alone for a bit. I retried about a half hour later and found a screen which offered the menu options and all the icons that show my number of gems and what not but no islands. All that's there is ocean. I've include a picture. I uninstalled the game, restarted my phone, reinstalled the game, and restarted my phone again. I'm not sure what else to do with it. My boyfriend's game is working fine so I feel there is just something wrong with mine. Hope you can help. Thanks, Elyse.

Sorry to hear about this issue. We currently have our engineers looking into why the islands have gone into hiding. We will try to get this fixed as soon as possible so you can get back to popping bubbles!

I hope the islands didn't sink to the bottom... :(

I have an iPhone 3G. When I pull the game up, the numbers with Steve's come up, but not the islands. I can play the game, but I never see an island. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and I've done a forced shut down. My storm8 ID is missysayhi.

I finally got 20 pop bonuses in a row on level 15, and as soon as I won the game shut down. When I pulled it back up it didn't show that I had win the goal, but it didn't give me the chance back to play it. This is by far not the first time this has happened, and it's incredibly frustrating. I have an iPhone 3GS and my UD is missysayhi.

Now I'm extremely frustrated. I've spent money to try to go back and beat that goal again, since I didn't get credit for it when I DID win it, and I haven't beat the goal again yet. I'm starting to wonder if maybe this happens so we HAVE to spend more!?!

The game craches almost every time that i pass a level. I am playing at level 186 right now and at all the latest levels i clear the level but before i come back to the "map" the game craches and is lost. To clear a level you almost always have to buy more bubbles or boosts and i have bought MANY gems to be able to do this and every time the game craches i loose gems. It is really irritating and it really seems like this is a bug that you have just to get us to pay more money!!!! To pass the level without the game craches it takes about five to ten times where the level is creared and craches. It almost never craches when i dont clear the level and thats the strange thing about this. Im not going to play more because this is really a big rip off!!!!
I have iOS version 5.1.1

I hv noted that in level 70 there is only 1 star bubble and two babies in different colours to be saved. The babies are above unbreakable black bubbles so we need two star bubbles too!! I think there is some error here.. how to proceed in the game?! :-s

Hi, I am using iOS version 6.1. Game version 1.4.4. On level 232 in Faerie Springs, the switches aren't lighting up all of the bubbles properly. It's intermittent. On the first screen, only one side which has the bubbles lights up, even after hitting both switches. After beating this screen and unlocking the one above, the switches either don't work, or only one of them works.

I have tried hitting the switches with different colored bubbles to see if it made a difference but it doesn't seem to matter. There aren't enough bubbles to clear the screen in the conventional manner, and no bombs to bomb your way out of it.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

correction! past level 114 - cosmic crater . . . I am femlin - 2cgreacen@gmail.com . . . playing Bubblemania version 1.1.4.4 on a Samsung Infuse firmware version 2.2.1 with plenty of storage, etc. available. Why can't I move on? I saved to the phone, cleared cache, restarted the phone and the islands through Cosmic Crater reappeared - nothing past. I see some people are playing much higher levels - why can't I see them, please?

iOS 7 bubble mania 1.4.4

Game will not load I get to the island screen and the islands have a loading bar and the loading circle above them. I let it sit like that for over an hour with no progress. I tried rebooting and deletion and reinstalling and still have the same issue10732

I have been trying for weeks now to get help from teamlava. I cannot see any islands past level 114 - Cosmic Crater - whose icon has now disappeared and now the Barnacle Barge icon has "sunk" as well. I have a Samsung 4G SGH-i1997 and my ID is femlin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, saved to phone, cleared cache, etc., etc., etc. NOTHING helps. I do not know how to do a screen capture - but it is pretty clear - I'm missing all levels past 114 and several icons. Ticket numbers are 1073088 and 1077934 . . . .
When I first go to Cosmic Crater area, the words ISLAND NAME LONG, a yellow STAR and the number 99/99 shows up . . .

All I get are emails saying it should be "resolved" . . . .Others are playing level 280!!! Why can't I?

I just completed level 300. The next three islands are behind clouds, no mention of needing more stars. Then two islands -titan's tub and bubblegum fields have downloaded and open to me.

I should be going to the next cloud. Finished level 252. Several clouds down the line have the hour glass and say loading but will not load. The next cloud on the line is just empty and will not open. It doesn't say I need any more stars, it's just blank. It's been like this since updating my IPAD to the latest update.i cN play previous levels just nothing will load past my current cloud.

10-31-13, 06:46 PM
The next island in line finally opened after I earned some more stars. However, once I completed the next island, there are still two behind clouds with no locks or needing more stars. I guess I need more stars, so I am working on that now.

I don't know how to do a screen shot, so I can't show you what is happening on mine.

I know someone had already reported an issue with the goal of 130,000 points with one throw for Level 24 that should have been fixed, but was it fixed for the Kindle version? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and still get the 130,000 points goal. Support ID is Q5PS22Y

Hi, I've loaded the game on my sons iPad, which is first generation. We've noticed that the babies don't fall to the ground and dance...they just disappear. This doesn't happen on my iPad Mini. Tried reloading the game, and hard shut down, to no avail. Thoughts? Thanks.

Now I am back on my device (iPad, ios 8.3) and levels 447 and beyond are locked AGAIN. I have restarted my device and I have the most up-to-date version of the game loaded.

I have ios 9.2 but it also did it on 9.1. Bubble Mania version 1.7.1.

Sometimes the game loads fat/squished. I can't see the whole screen when this happens. It is random, only happened once this month but I haven't played as much. This month it happened at least 10 times. I'm completely unable to play when the happens. I've lost gems and money when I picked boosts.

No idea what level I'm on as can't see that much info (500+)

Do you see a "Get Later" button next to the Play Now! button?
If so click that to clear the screen.

Im on level 756...which should open the next island. I have earned 12 stars for the current island. But it says i need 12 more stars to unlock the island...this is impossible because you can only earn 18 stars per island...but its telling me to earn 24 stars. Or else i have to use my gems...which i do not have enough, which means i have to buy. But this should not be the answer.
This must be bugged! Please help fix this.

02-23-17, 11:35 AM
As has been written numerous times on this forum, it is not only the previous island, but ALL previous islands that is being referred to. If the message says you need twelve more stars to unlock the next island, then you can get these by earning more stars on ANY level on ANY previous island.

I am on lvl 565 and have passed it multiple times. However, the game has been crashing either in the level or once I've won and try to continue on to level 566. Often the screen will go black and I have to replay the level. I've also had multiple issues with the earn extra pieces because the videos won't load or crash and I loose everything.

I have the same problem with the game crashing. I am at level 852, and I can only ever play one game before it crashes. I have clears my cache, restarted my iPad, deleted and reloaded the game. I also stripped my iPad and reloaded everything and checked it at the Apple Store. It's very sad and frustrating because I essentially can't play the game any more. Any hope of storm8 being able to fix the problem?

I am having the same problem. I finished the level with 12 stars, but the game is acting like I finished it with 0/12 stars. I tried downloading the latest version 2.0.3 for iOS, but the problem is still there.

I'm on level 746 and the game keeps crashing just as I've won it or am just about to. :\ I also have and iPad 2, version 9.3.5 and I am very disgusted and don't like playing the game anymore. I am a sucker who keeps trying it though, in the hopes that it will work correctly. I removed stuff from the iPad, deleted and reinstalled the app and nothing is working. I would go and buy gems once in a while too, but I will NOT waste my money doing that anymore for a game that I can't even play.

Is it because the iPad is now 6 years old so they aren't making any more updates for it? Just let us know so we can delete it and not continue to get angry over a game we can't play. At least we would know.

Thanks.

When playing, be sure and close out any applications running in the background.
You can try a couple of things.

Go to setting- safari- clear out data, then restart your ipad.
Turn you wifi button off then back on.
Delete and redown the game from iTunes.

Have you checked to see if you have an update for your ipad?
