The words

OK, I’m bit of a bad reviewer here… this app was suppose to be done a week ago. See the thing is, I place it on one of the iPad, which was then quickly picked up by one of those little people, children I think they’re called. They found Bubble Dream and that iPad then did the little people rounds and it only eventually got back to me.

Above a bed as a child sleeps (in stunning, clear, high-res graphics) float buubles, full of dreams… or in this case icons like red hearts, green shamrocks, yellow ducks, blue dolphins… you get the idea; safe and cute things.

What you have to achieve is a night full of blissful dreams by match these up. Tap a free floating heart and another heart and they will gravitate towards each other, connect and disappear (into your points).

If two hearts connect of their own accord, they will join into a bigger sized buuble. Points are awarding according to the distances and size of bubble connecting.

Sounds simple enough and on early stages really is… but theres a catch… there always is isn’t there?!

If you happen to have tapped two hearts, and in-between them being able to connect, you hit a shamrock, you then have on your hands a new type of bubble; a bad dream.

Bad dreams don’t go away… at least until they connect with another bad dream. Two bad dreams connect, little child wakes up, and from your top-down view you are faced with a very upset and scared looking child.

As you progress between levels and more bubbles (types of bubbles) are added, the less screen real estate you have to play with. You’re forced into a situation where you have to make marginal calls… to dream or not to dream.

The game reminds me a little of Spore in style and feel, although this seems much more aimed at kids and family (though this is not to say it won’t appeal to a wider audience). Its a friendly, fun game that can be shared… no need to have separate heads buried in different devices.

Well worth the buy and easily suggestible to others.
