What players say
i like it. it does a really good job at emulating the feel of a lot of older computer games. im sure they could've stopped at just making it another bubble shooter type game, or just making it a zuma reskin, but all the powerups feel quite different from the ones in zuma, even the ones that function the same. im not normally one for level formats, but it works alright here. i love the soundtrack, and i wish i could...
