Knowing it wouldn't make the game any better or worse if I kept pushing it off, I decided to see what about this title wasn't being well received. Unfortunately, it wasn't limited to a single thing. Also, the colorful store page is rather ironic considering how monotone it is in actuality. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Something you might see, which is very misleading, is when numbered levels flash on the screen. The game I expected from the screenshots was something like Pang Adventures, where you'd use your hook to burst the larger bubble into smaller pieces, until you pop them all. Destroying all of them would load the next level, which would present different challenges. It'd likely have more bubbles to destroy, but might incorporate stage gimmicks, rearrange the layout, add variati…

The game has just one mode in which you shoot a chain into a bubble that multiplies itself in two and so on. That's it. That's the game. The price is outrageous as well as the achievements that require a lot of grind.

It's a one level score attack game with Atari 2600 controls and a Gameboy art style. There's only one (repetitive) music track by default, and three you can buy in game. There's a story scene about the villain kidnapping villagers by putting them in bubbles, but you don't rescue them or ever see any characters in bubbles ever again after that (being able to rescue/collect villagers would have made the game way more interesting). Art wise I think they did a great job overall (especially with the concept / promotional art), but the game itself just doesn't live up to its potential.

Score: 2/5 Simple, repetitive gameplay loop didn't engage me. Okay visuals and audio.

Pretty sure I got this as parft of a bundle but its not too bad if you enjoy a retro feel of popping bubbles and collecting items while gravity shifts. Just not really for me
