How to Play Bubble Town:
- Select your mode of play by clicking either: 'Straight-Up Play' or 'Ball Play'. (Hint: Personally, I feel that 'Straight-Up Play' is the better of the two games. However, they are both excellent games).
- Straight Up Play -- Line up the cannon to shoot the different Borbs to make three (or more) of a kind. Use the sides to make tricky bank shots to score extra points.
- Ball Play -- Try to shot three or more matching Borbs using the cannon. However with every shot, the game board rotates, so pick your shots with care.
- Powerups -- Collect powerups by freeing them from the game board. Powerups give your cannon different abilities, like firing super-accurate shots or firing shots that changes the color of Borbs. Use them wisely, and you can clear a lot of Borbs in one shot!
- To shoot, first rotate the cannon with your mouse to aim. Then, left click to fire.
- Take your time. There is no shot clock.
- When you use up the Borbs in your TUBE, the Borbs get closer to the yellow DANGER ZONE.
- Knock out all Borbs before any reach the DANGER ZONE to advance to the next level.
- When a Borb hits the DANGER ZONE you lose.
- If you lose a level, you may repeat the level until you win. However according to Domenic's comment, which you may read by scrolling down the page, after you win Bubble Town level 15 things change. He says once you win level 15, that each time you lose a level after that you must begin again back on level 15.
- After some levels you may occasionally see a screen that says 'Bubble Town Deluxe.' The purpose of this screen is to entice you to download the deluxe version of the game. If you do not want to do any downloads, and want to continue to play the game here on Richard's Game Reviews, simply click the button where it says 'Just Let Me Play!' and immediately continue on to your next level.
- As far as I can tell. there is no way to save your Bubble Town game progress. So unless you are willing to leave your computer on, and come back later, you will need to begin a new game back at level 1.
Bubble Town Game Options:
- The game sounds can be turned on or off by clicking the 'Mute' button from the Menu. (To access the Menu, press your spacebar. Click 'Resume' to continue your game.)
Bubble Town Playing Tips:
- Look at the next Borb in your TUBE. Knowing what the next Borb will be, can help you plan your current shot.
- If you can make a match higher up, many times the Borbs below will also be knocked out. Learning this technique will allow you to knock out large numbers of Borbs with a single shot!
- For the 'Straight Up Play' game learn the bank shot, where you bounce the Borb off of the left or right wall. Sometimes, the only way to get a Borb to its intended target is to use the bank shot. Besides that, bank shots also earn you extra points. This takes just a little practice. Of course, the more you practice the better you will get.
- Learn to recognize the different powerups and what they can do.
Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.
