Follow on Google News | Bubble Smile: the Pocket PC Classic Match-3 Puzzler Now in the App StoreBubble Smile is now in the Apple App Store. The Pocket PC classic was totally remade from the ground up for the iPhone, now featuring crisp hand-drawn graphics, Plus+ Leaderboards and Awards, as well as Facebook friends leaderboard.
Bubble Smile is the glorious descendant of the eponym game released originally on Pocket PC more than seven years ago. It is a match-three puzzle game where users rotate colored bubbles in order to match those of same color in lines of three or more and make them pop free. The gameplay is simple although quite different from most match-three games. In order to move the bubbles, you have to drag them following a triangle shape. Together with its amazingly cute hand-drawn animated graphics, Bubble Smile features two game modes: the thrilling Quick Mode -with timed play sessions- and the Original Mode with its level-based progression. In addition, the integration of Plus+ online leaderboards and unlockable awards provides players with even more excitement. The Plus+ network combines the best features of an online gaming environment with the sharing and virality of traditional social networks. For more information about the Plus+ network, see http://www.plusplus.com. This new version of the PDA classic is in fact a new game made exclusively for the iPhone. Of its ancestor, Bubble Smile iPhone inherited only the best: its original take on the match-three concept. All other elements either graphic or technical have been remade to the iPhone standard. An interesting aspect of the Bubble Smile mechanics is that the bubbles do not get back to their original location if users fail to match them. In practice, it allows players to devise various strategies to build the longest lines of bubbles and trigger the most numerous combos. To maximize the game fun, new game mechanics were added: - the in-game mission system has players complete various challenges to progress and score bonus points; - the freeze mechanism has them tap frenetically on randomly frozen bubbles to break the ice; - the shake function allows users to reshuffle the bubbles by actually shaking their device. Because it is always more fun to beat people you know well rather than perfect strangers, Bubble Smile allows you to connect with Facebook and compete with your friends thanks to the Facebook friends leaderboard, as well as tweet your scores away!
