I truly don't understand how your thumbs-up - thumbs-down rating system works. This is the first time I have tried to click on the thumbs, sunce finding out yesterday that that is how you calculated our responses. Silly me, I thought you read each comment and gave it an up or down based upon the gist of what we wrote. Now, after visiting the forums yesterday, I know that we are supposed to click on the thumb-of-choice to register our feelings - so I tried. I really tried! For the first time, I have found the game to be incomprehensibly stupid, the controls impossible to maneuver, the graphics insulting to even a five-year-old and the music gratingly annoying - but back to that in a minute - So I centered my arrow over the down-thumb and mouse-clicked it ... and nothing happened - so I tried again, and again, and again (yes, it was so bad, I felt even if all my votes counted, it was the truth). But none of my votes apparently counted. So, to see if the system was working, I centered my mouse over the up-thumb and clicked ... WHAMMO! Up six points and surprisingly, up two on the thumb-for-down! I guess that told me! So if you think your counter is anywhere near accurate - think again ... I am going back to see if I can right the wrong, but wanted to say just a word about the game... Although the screen is like a nightmare clone of Snowy, the chicken (is that what it is?) can fly straight through levels, whether there is an opening or not, and then it chases bananas, fades out and shimmers, if something bad happens to it and seems to cry at the slightest provocation. Then when you are totally frustrated because your control seem to control practically nothing, a big threat floats down, urging you to "Hurry Up!" and then slam, before you can do a thing about it - you are told you are a complete loser, responsible for multiple deaths. If I had a kid - it would never get near this game! Now, I'm new to gaming, yours being the only ones on this computer, but with the likes of Snowy, Bubble Xmas, and the remarkable Butterfly Escape, I can't imagine why anyone would take this monstrosity, even for free! So, when you go to tally your thumbs for the day - please add a down for me. But for the GOTD and GGAOTD teams - a huge two thumbs up!!

LOL This game looks like it belongs back in the pre computer era with its graphics. What are those penguin/dragon things anyway? Kind of reminded me of pac man with the ghost too! hahaha I tried my kids on this game and they lost interest at the first level.

Thanks for all the other games though ggotd.

i agree with the previous posts state-of-the-art graphics IF i was playin Atari.. if they think its state of the art someone should be doin drug tests..but i dont hold it against GOTD still a great site :)

Doesn't offer very much new stuff over the original Bubble Bobble, but there are a couple of neat powerups that improve your bubbles. The controls are much better than Bubble Bobble Nostalgia, and even allows a gamepad for 1-player. When I tried to play 2-player (with player2 setup to use keyboard), the gamepad controlled both characters and the keyboard did nothing.
The only other drawback is that you don't get enough lives - and thus this is a fairly difficult game.

This is not Bubble Bubble! Bub and Bob would be ashamed to see what has happened to their orignal version. Go buy Taito Game legends and get the real mccoy!

I love bubble bobble games!!!!Thanks GAOTD :)

I love bubble bobble games!!! Thanks GAOTD :) Keep up the good work!

I was really excited to see this game here, since I love Bubble Bobble, but this game landed me on the blue screen of death. I have never had a problem like that with any of the other games here, and I'm sure I've downloaded about 20-30 of them. That's OK, not all of them can be winners. I need to get a life anyway after playing all these games, haha. I'll be back tomorrow though!

This one is a total bust. free or not I don't want it.. I have been downloading these for the kids and when I did this one they looked at it and at first looked cool because of the first couple screens but once the game started they lost interest very very fast and wanted to play some of the other games... To say the least this one is hitting the recyle bin.

It's just me, but I don't do any games that I can't use my mouse to play. I'm strange that way. My 6 year old liked this game tho. I don't think I would reccommend it to anyone much over that age. Thanks again, tho, I really am enjoying this site!

ugly. they forgot "from 1988" behind "state-of-the-art graphics".

I don't get it, why do the dragons look like a mutated penguin in this game?

Thanks though GGOTD, I'm sure many will enjoy it.

could have been better.

GAOTD:
I would LOVE to have = "Race Cars: The Extreme Rally", -that looks really fun. I personally haven't seen many 'Race Car' Games here and None like that. So, it would be a refreshing change! I hope you can offer it someday![soon] :)

THANKS for all that you do!!

"state-of-the-art graphics"

The vendor must be dreaming...

Thank you Terminal studios and GGAotD team for the game; my kids will love this one.

Well.. I hope it's a nice gamplay, because those graphics sure isn't worth paying for..

my wife and kids really love this game :) Thanks

For once I completely agree with #3 Semicolon. These graphics truly are astoundingly poor. The main character is so pixelated you almost don't care if he gets zapped by the monsters, who incidentally are drawn better. Backgrounds aren't much better. The best graphics are on the splash screen and options screen, it's all downhill from there.

The installer crashed twice on trying to browse to a different install location, had to end task twice and finally typed the preferred location manually. Controls work OK, entirely keyboard after clicking from Start menu or desktop icon. When choosing options don't try to click selections, it's arrow keys and Enter to access. Play is arrow keys and space bar to shoot. I don't trust that the included uninstaller will work any better than the installer, but thankfully this shows up in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. This one's going to the bit bin.

Before the newbies still enamored with "free" start having murderous all-caps fits that anyone would dare criticize anything free, they might consider that these programs are not freeware. They are $$ shareware free here for 24 hrs. After that the developer sells them, in fact is still selling this one today to anyone who hasn't found this site. Previous games, along with comments, are still listed for those yet to find the site so they may browse to see what's worth buying. It wouldn't be right to mislead those folks into thinking every single game is perfectly wonderful, just because YOU got it for free. Besides, criticizing individual games is not at all the same thing as criticizing GGOTD. It's a great site. Now shut off your caps lock. ;)

Doesn't work correctly for me.
Scratched image when press fire.
New download and installation but no way to work...

very nice

Oh my goodness... those graphics are astoundingly obnoxious. I've played a lot of Bubble Bobble clones and whatnot as I really love the game, but this is by far the worst one ever created.

Played it for couple minutes, I didn't care for it. My kids on the other hand, will love it. Thanks gaotd

Cool game, thanks!
