Released by Seraphic Games, Bubbit is a new arcade game for the Android platform. In this game, players are tasked with pulling bubbles together, in order to score points. The bubbles have differing point values, and those values stack as they are combined. The gameplay is fairly straightforward in that players will select one bubble, and then a single surrounding bubble can be rotated around it.
All of this happens while the bubbles float from the bottom towards (and eventually off) the top of the screen. As the bubbles on the periphery collide (by the player dragging one into another), they merge to form a single bubble with a new and higher point value. There are two modes of play, timed, and survival. With the former, players seek to score as many points as possible within sixty seconds, and in the latter the idea is to score as many as the player can, until play ends. In that scenario, the player has three hearts, and one is removed if a bubble leaves the screen. Hearts are also removed if the player makes use of a “death bubble”, which is colored in red and filled with a skull and cross bones.
Bubbles will also include other things, besides poison and points. Some will have a black hole, that when activated will draw in surrounding bubbles for a period of time (and activating whatever is inside of them), as well as another that freezes bubbles in place, so new ones drifting upwards will collide into them, and get activated that way. The background is black, but users can customize it. The bubbles, on the other hand, have a static appearance, but they’re stylized in the faux retro/pixel look, as do other facets of the game, such as the menu screen.
Bubbit is free with ads, but they can be removed from the game for $0.99 via IAP. There are other optional IAPs included in the game as well.
