Bubblehead, from CrowdCafe, is a cool little game where you have to guide your Bubblehead through various themed mazes to collect 15 stars and reach the goal as fast as you can. The game features some interesting art style and two game modes - Arcade and Random.
In Arcade you progress through levels opening up new worlds when you complete a world by getting 15 stars on all levels. There are 5 worlds with 5 levels each for a total of 25. In Random mode you will play on a randomly selected level and attempt to get as high as possible. The cool thing here is that your score can be uploaded to the global servers allowing you to secure your moment of fame by reaching the high score table.
To control your Bubblehead you simply put a finger on the touchscreen and he starts ascending. Removing your finger will make it slow down and eventually begin to fall so that you can backtrack whenever you need to do so. To move left and right you simply tilt the phone. There are ample sensitivity settings and I was able to find a comfortable area in which to play in.
The sounds in the game can get on the annoying side at times as they basically sound like a Tom & Jerry cartoon without the music and every single time you touch something there’s a resultant sound.
Eventually the game’s one-dimensional gameplay will wear on your nerves just like the overdone cartoon sounds will and you’ll lose interest. With only 25 levels and exactly one type of gameplay it’s not something that will keeep you interested for days on end. However for the price it is certainly worth it and will divert your attention from the nearby passengers on the bus or metro during those commutes to and fro.
