This week I took a look at an iPhone game called Bubble Bash.
Bubble Bash is an interesting title and it is not just limited to being played on the iPhone. We've reviewed it before but things change when bringing games to the iPhone.
The object is to break bubbles by matching them by groups of the same color, three or more and you pop them all. Once all the bubbles are cleared the round is over. The premise of the game is only burdened by the inclusion of a storyline. However, I can't seem to grasp what exactly the storyline is other than two children are on an island trying to clear the whole thing of bubbles. Eventually for each part of the map the children fight a boss. Along the way they also collect items that are locked in some levels, though I cannot seem to find a reason for having them.
So I cannot say that gameplay was exceptional, even if sligh
tly enjoyable. This type of game is nothing new, save for the newest phone that it has been released on. However, it seems to me that the iPhone is not a suitable platform for this game. Aiming is controlled on screen and my fingers and/or thumb just tend to block the view of what I am doing. Having keys to press without blocking the screen would make the game much easier to play.
So unless you like this type of game, there is nothing new to enjoy. Acceptable storyline and gameplay are overshadowed by an annoying control scheme on the iPhone, which makes this game something that I would skip. Its just not fun, if you can see what you are doing. Get it for a different platform.
