Send each buddy to its bubble: three of a kind fill it

Starmates is a bubble sorting puzzle for the browser. Space buddies are mixed up inside bubbles; tap one and it moves to the top bubble that shows its picture. Three of a kind fill that bubble, and the level ends when every top bubble is full.

A buddy with no top bubble yet waits in a tray with only 5 spots. 60 levels in six worlds go from Lunar Plains to Deep Space, with a daily level, an album of 12 buddies, a space base to decorate and three helpers. A pointing hand teaches the first levels.

  2. No top bubble for it yet? It waits in the tray, which has only 5 spots.

Tips: Starmates

  1. Tap first the buddies that already have a top bubble; the tray is for the ones that must wait.
  2. Never fill the 5 spots of the tray. When its bubble arrives, a buddy leaves the tray by itself.
  3. Hold a buddy to call all of its kind at once.
  4. Fill 3 top bubbles in a row without using the tray and a Golden Orb appears: it fits any of them.
