I originally thought it was just an ordinary Bubble Bobble reskin mobile game, but as soon as I entered, I was amused by these cute dragons. The black and white little dragon cubs were staggering on the beach to pick up balls. Their clumsy steps were very much like the way I was in a hurry when I was playing "Pa Ta Bang" on the PSP. Hahaha. 🎮
To be honest, playing this game reminds me of the "Rolling Stick" on the GBA and the "Touch Kirby" on the NDS that poked the screen. They are both types that look simple but can't stop playing. Now the mobile version has optimized the operation to be quite smooth, but I still habitually use my thumb to swipe across the screen to simulate the feel of handheld buttons back in the day😆
What struck me the most was the setting of the ball-eating competition. Watching the cute dragon take one ball at a time, I suddenly thought of the time when I was a kid and competed online with my classmates for props. At that time, there were not so many fancy ways to play. It was just you grabbing me and everyone laughing together. Winning or losing was fun. Now in mobile games, you can also avoid obstacles and prevent other dragons from grabbing the ball. It feels like adding new elements to the old gameplay, but the silly and crazy energy at the core is still there.
The developer, Fire Tongue Internet, has done a very good job. It is free and has no advertisements. The style of the game is light and cartoonish. As soon as the colorful balls rolled on the beach under the sun, I almost thought I was still in front of the PSP with a yellow screen. Although there are a lot of controllers and simulators now, but occasionally I want this kind of relaxed and happy play that can be played with one hand without using your brain.
If you have ever spent countless nights playing secretly with a handheld device, then this seaside bubble shooter will definitely bring you back that simple happiness. I won't say any more, I'm going to continue to feed the dragon and eat the balls. Chicken, you are so beautiful, you are so beautiful, the ball. I have already started singing along with these magical lyrics🎵
