The interaction between the two main characters of the title is still as cute as ever and their sprites, like those of the enemy flora and fauna. The AGA version was like a fairground attraction, all lit up and loony, while this one is rather plain.īubble stood out mainly because of the standard of its platform action combined with fun arcade bonus levels and puzzles galore Audiogenic has kept this aspect of the game completely. Glancing at the CD32 version it became apparent - the parallax scrolling has gone In its place is a plain black or blue background.

In fact, not having played the AGA version for some time now I was hard pushed to remember what was different. Wrong! The graphics may be less detailed and colourful but the quality of the sprites and gameplay hasn't been effected at all. There was no major difference between these two but because of the superbly colourful AGA graphics there must be a huge quality gap between them and the non AGA version, right? In between the main platform levels, there are side-view shoot 'em up sections taking place underwater – completing these earns bonuses.We covermounted and reviewed the A1200 version of Bubble last May and received the CD32 version last month. It is activated by placing a coin into a Bubblegum machine and then jumping on Squeak's back. If you stand on top of Squeak you can be launched into an extra-high jump.īubble Mode is the equivalent of Super Mario mode - it allows you to jump higher, run faster and shoot more lethal weaponry (bubbles in this case). As he can't jump as high as you, he must sometimes be instructed to wait while you flick a switch or otherwise solve the puzzle of how to guide him through. Squeak is a blue alien, who must also be guided through the levels. Halfway through the first of the 30 levels, you meet Squeak and the full nature of the game starts. Controlling a bald child, you move through a scrolling array of ledges, avoiding contact with nasties who release coins when shot. Bubble and Squeak starts off similarly to many other platform games.
