DS #2359: Soul Bubbles (Europe)

[NatsuMatto]

Remind anyone else of locoroco?

I just realised it plays just like it.

yes. This *IS* LocoRoco for the DS.

I think this is a great game... too bad the name is completely horrible. "Soul Bubbles"? With a name like that, I never would have looked twice at this game. Thankfully the reviews here clued me into what is a really nice gameplay experience.

really nice, simple laid back game.

yea, its really relaxing

Yeah, wanted to say that too

 

[berlinka]

Is it me or is it true that a lot of these niche games come out in Europe first?

 

[fateastray]

y dis no mutlipalyer? T_T

 

[SleepingDragon]

Well, it depends upon what niche you are speaking about. it's really hard to say because Soul Bubbles is pretty much alone in it's own genre. It's sort of a puzzle game, if you want to call it that.

For some reason I'm looking at the Soul Bubbles screen shots and videos and having Bubble Ghost flashbacks. O.o. I was obsessed with that Game Boy game when I was a kid.

Is it similar in terms of gameplay? If so, then I'm definitely gonna order this from Amazon.

Great game. I'm buying this whenever I'll be in town again, developers who make these kind of games deserve all the money and sales figures they can get! A gem I was able to find out about thanks to Hadrian. Mad props!

After actually trying the game it's not quite as original as people have been saying. It's basically a clone of LocoRoco, only instead of rotating the screen to move and buttons to break up/stick back together you use the stylus.

Still a nice game, but I think LocoRoco was better with its crazy art style and music. I don't like the art in this game (the main character is a flying baby?).

Finished this game three times already, just really addicted to it I really can't explain why.

I had the same thing with Patapon PSP.

Apparently if the DS game does well sales well then the developers may do a Wii version.

This game is so addictive. If it wasnt for the comments on here, I would have never thought to try it. Thanks guys!

Play-Asia are selling it for $32.90.

Its actually pretty hard to find near me, luckily I pre-ordered it of play.com though I wish I waited as its a lot cheaper on play-Asia.

[Satangel]

Having problems with playing this on my M3Real.
Rom is trimmed, and Soft-Reset is on (have put it out to, but nothing helps)
The rom starts, the M3Sakura coming soon screen comes, then both the screens are black.

 

[Loop]

Can't..... stop..... playing!!!
Strangely addictive / relaxing
great use of stylus control
We need more games like this on the DS

 

[shabon]

You'll get more if you buy them.

 

[Hadrian]

You'll get more if you buy them.

For those in the US interested in buying this (shock...horror...buy?) then Toys R Us are selling this game early and apparently they have a buy 2 games get 1 free deal too.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game. I'm not too far into yet, but it's extremely addictive. And the visuals are really nice too. NP gave it a 6.5. I definitely think it deserves a higher score than that.
