I've been bored recently, so I downloaded this "Pet Bubble Bobble" to pass the time. Let me start with the conclusion: If you like classic elimination games like "Bubble Bobble" or "Zuma", this game will make you addicted, but don't expect any surprises.
Picture/sound effects: 7/10
The overall style of the painting is cartoonish and cute, the pet design is quite cute, the colors are bright, and it's not tiring to the eyes. But the details are a bit rough. For example, the feedback and special effects of bubble collision are relatively cheap, and it feels like a web game. The background music loops briskly and is a bit hypnotic after listening to it for a long time. 😴
Gameplay: 6.5/10
The core is the classic aim-and-shoot and three-in-a-row elimination. More than 1,600 levels sound scary, but the essence of the gameplay has not changed. In the later stage, there are a lot of difficulties and disgusting obstacles (such as moving bubbles, limited steps). The three modes (classic, strategy, and infinite) are slightly different. Strategies to pass levels require some thinking, but most of the time they are still mechanically repetitive. The sunflower system is a small highlight. You can use props to force your way through levels, but it's not novel enough.
Krypton gold: 9/10 (no Krypton friendliness)
Free and no in-app purchases, this must be praised. There is no need to watch advertisements or spend money to buy props. Passing the level depends entirely on skill (or luck). 0Kr players can play forever. 👍
Social: 3/10
There are almost no social features. There is no friend ranking or gift giving, it is purely a stand-alone game to earn points. If you like to share your results to your circle of friends, you can only take screenshots.
Overall Rating: 7/10
Advantages: Free, playable, easy to get started, large amount of levels.
Disadvantages: Lack of creativity, repetitive and boring post-production, average picture and sound effects.
Suitable for the crowd: commuters, fishermen, and nostalgic players. It is not recommended for players who are looking for novelty to try it. After all, level 1600 may make your patience wear down first. 😅
