Hurray!!
The inevitable sequel to a great little game!!

Nothing I can say will say as much as the video.
So, here's that..

Youtube!!!

Downloadable here. It's available for Windows, Linux and MacOS, and it isn't a silly online flash based game! Huzzah!!

For those who are looking for "an excellent "Bubble Bobble" remake/clone", Might I suggest this ;) It is Kinda bubble-bobble'ish, except you can't keep throwing the bubbles!

Version 2.2's just been released, (like, Just Now!!) and it's all nice and big and smashy!

Oh, and I can post the trailer, too!


Same link as before..

Looks nice! Will see if the game meets my expectations. I have very high standards when it comes to "Bubble Bobble"... ;)

Ok, I played it and I like it. It doesn't give me the real "Bubble Bobble" feeling, but it's a good, fast-paced game and it's a nice idea that all the platforms are moving, so you have to be careful all the time and react quite quickly to cope with the new situations.

Now I have to learn to keep an eye on the bubbles and the monsters at the same time, so I will be able to survive a little longer.

Glad to hear you like it!
Yeah, it's kinda Bubble Bobble, in the "throw, catch" kinda way, but.. (sorry) Bubble Bobble was always a wee bit too slow for my liking.
This is Bubble Bobble for the ADD generation ;)
Fast, and frantic, in that whole "Level 6" style!

Too much?!

No, it's ok. An old man like me can still play it in the calm mode... :oldrant:

Those 4 years between you to really makes me wonder if I am in the "ADD generation" or in the "old man" group.

I will play this today to try and see what I think. My expectations are a bit high as well, but I trust Jay to be able to produce something playable. :) (/understatement)

Edit:
A good game with lots of options, but I would say it is for the more swift keybangers out there. You need to stay on your toes, and maybe a little too much so for my taste, but still a good game. Good job Jayenkai.

I wonder if there's something you need to install to get the sound to work on linux. I have no sound when playing this game.
