There’s an “On Fire Mode,” where if the player successfully knocks out three matches in a row, they’ll get an explosive fire cannon that can clear out hazards like bee hives. Zynga’s Bubble Safari has little touches here and there that try to differentiate it from the other games. Like in Bubble Witch Saga and Bubble Island, there’s a map the player has to traverse as they level up. Notably, it’s also the first time Zynga is simultaneously launching a game to Facebook and its own destination site (in a sign that the company is really trying to diversify off the social network). With the rapid rise of Europe’s and Germany’s Wooga on the back of games like Bubble Witch Saga and Bubble Island, it’s not surprising that Zynga would eventually launch its own take on the genre.

Zynga is taking yet another step away from its long line of casual sim “-Ville” games today with the launch of Bubble Safari.
