ZZzzzZZzzz
I've been playing this game for 20 mionutes with my brain on auto-pilot, and beating it.
Reviews for "Bubble Elements Earth"
fatal flaw
just boring... no power ups= no fun
well executed, but
its been done a million times, about half of them better. you brought absolutely nothing new to the table and frankly i can't understand why anyone would go through all the work of remaking the same game that has been around since the snes.
Done before, better and free-r
Simply put, this game is an exact clone of dozens of games currently in existence. As far as I'm concerned, any game that attempts to replicate something so common should at least try to implement something new. This game does not, save for the tree stumps - and all the stumps do is mess up combos when one of the balls involved is remotely in contact with the stump.
Now, of these features alone, I would likely rate the game 4/10 - it implements nothing new that hasn't been done many times before, it lacks any instructions (how do you know what colour to feed the plants?), the shifting of the board comes without warning and easily messes up combos, meaning that long-term strategy is near-useless. But then, we find that the author has only supplied a demo! The 'real' version, with 'features' such as Time Attack (the game with a timer), and "Engaging avatar system", as I quote from the website (it allows you to give yourself a name and picture), requires you to pay $20. I note that the names used on said website's screenshots are "abc" and "qqqqqqqqq", indicating the obvious level of care that the author has put into making and advertising this game.
In short, this game pissed me off. I give it a 2 only because I must strive to rate games based on how they play, not on how greedy the author is. This game is a pathetic clone of dozens of other bubble shooters, with new (but not improved) graphics and a couple of feeble attempts at new features. If, reader, you truly enjoy this game, I encourage you to spend five minutes (it will take no longer) searching the web for games identical to this, without a $20 charge.
boring
boring but ok...
