The most challenging and interesting part of the game is that you have to apply your knowledge and logic to come with new and original solutions to the given problem in every level. The game is addictive and besides lacking fancy graphics and stupendous sound effects, all depends on how well you play the game. But in terms of a puzzle game, there are only a couple of challenging levels available. Overall, it is a brilliant game highly recommended for those who are on the lookout to kill their boredom and want some excitement.
The sensational Bubble Ball game knocked the insanely popular Angry Birds game out of its top slot on the Apple App Store's list of most popular free apps in December. Bubble Ball is created and coded by eight-grader Robert Nay and his mother Kari, who hails from Spanish Fork, Utah. While Angry Birds was created by a 17-person Finnish company, Bubble Ball is the work of 14-year-old Robert Nay, who taught himself how to program the game from a library book.
Bubble Ball is a simple move-the-ball-to-the-goal physics game with very basic graphics. It's a good game by any standard. The most important part that you need to do is prior planning and thinking about how gravity will affect the objects they have. To achieve your goal, you can choose from a set number of items, simple basic shapes to quickly move the ball to its destination. The shapes available are of wood and metal and as we are aware these two materials respond differently to gravity. The wood pieces are required to sit on a solid platform but on the other hand metal pieces will stay at the same place where you put them. You can rotate the shapes in accordance to the diagram available on the field to quickly guide the ball. After setting up the field, players then press start to turn gravity on and start the ball rolling. There are twenty one levels and one can jump to whichever level they wish.
Just like I said earlier, it is a simple yet very interesting game. In terms of graphics, the options available before you are multiple color of the ball. There is no sound in the background but a loud horn is noticed when you pass the ball to the finishing line. You also have the option of four different power ups; two affect gravity, turning it on and off, and the other two speeds up the movement of ball in either horizontal direction.
