Once upon a time, there was a coin-op game called Bubbles, this new game is loosely based upon Bubbles, being similar in concept but employing a slightly different method of graphical representation.

The plot of the game concerns a bubble in a sink of water - this is you, you have to escape by capturing other bubbles; these make you grow. Eventually you will grow big enough to float free.

However, in the sink with you are various nasties who are out to get you. They include scrubbing brushes, shampoo and other bathroom accessories. But, bonuses are awarded for picking up the soap that appears every now and then!

The sink is portrayed in cross-section and your bubble is moved around by straight-forward joystick movements. The bubbles you have to collect float up from the bottom of the sink while everything else either floats free in a fairly unthreatening manner, except for the scrubbing brush and soap which are plunged in from above.

This game is incredibly simple *and* rather boring. The levels get slightly harder as you go on, but that's about it. There is no sense of challenge and the graphics are bland and unimpressive. Don't buy this game, even at budget price. There are far better ones around.
