Jelly Bubble Game Modes
Competitive, co-op, local, online, and Create Mode — how each way to play differs.
Jelly Bubble is built for groups. BINGOBELL ships multiple ways to play the same core loop — grab soap, exploit color attract/repel, betray friends — wrapped in different win conditions and player counts. This hub collects every mode family so you can pick the right lobby before inviting Steam friends or splitting controllers on the couch.
Start with the Game Modes overview for competitive and co-op Soap Battle details, then browse Customization if your squad cares about outfits between rounds. Achievement hunters should cross-link Achievements for Local Fun and Carnival Party routing.
Mode categories at a glance
Competitive score rush — Classic free-for-all where individual deposits and eliminations decide rank. Best for quick sessions and First Victory grinds.
Soap Battle teams — Red vs blue squads racing to 500 points and a bombardment cannon finish. Requires role coordination; see the dedicated Soap Battle guide.
Cooperative variants — Shared objectives against map hazards or timed soap quotas. Lower friendly fire pressure; still uses the same soap tier meta from the Soap Tier List.
Local split-screen — Two to four players on one PC. Supports most competitive and co-op rulesets. Triggers the Local Fun achievement on first completed round.
Online multiplayer — Up to six players in supported modes. Needs broadband; host benefits from recommended specs on the System Requirements page.
Create Mode — DIY map editor with publish and play. Powers the Building Maniac achievement and fuels Creator Challenge submissions.
Bubble Soccer — Goal-scoring pitch mode with multiple ball types; see the Bubble Soccer guide.
Stay Away — Poop King boss raid with soap projectiles and a 500-point finisher; see the Stay Away guide.

Weekly game night: Rotate Soap Battle 3v3 with Create Mode customs — keeps Carnival Party progress moving.
Achievement session: Local Fun first, then host map rotation for ten unique stages, then schedule a published creative map for Building Maniac.
Competitive friends: Soap Battle with S-tier soaps only house rules optional.
Cosmetics and modes
Outfits are mode-agnostic but show during eliminations and cannon cutscenes. Mix-and-match pieces are covered on Customization; no stat advantages attach to skins.
Live events and modes
Launch-week Creator Challenge rewards clips from any mode but favors chaotic Soap Battle and custom maps. Watch the Updates hub when BINGOBELL adds seasonal mutators.
