In fact, I've been meaning to publish a post about this for some time -- about how saying something is a 'Bubble Bobble clone' isn't correct, as very few games clone Bubble Bobble's gameplay. That said, I still think calling these games clones of one game or another makes sense, at least to an extent. Most people don't use the word to suggest they are carbon copies of one another -- rather, they use the word to suggest that the latter game was inspired by the earlier one, and likely wouldn't exist without that form of inspiration.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-30046446200661458782012-07-24T09:00:05.960-07:002012-07-24T09:00:05.960-07:00Thanks for the recommendation, DavidR!

So, when I got my 3DS, I decided I'd finally try some of them -- including this one. A few others I'm planning to try soon: AlphaBounce, Captain Sub, Penguin Patrol, Portable Shrine Wars and Rabi Laby (and Rabi Laby 2). Have you played any of those?Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-64388874814888472872012-07-23T09:02:05.449-07:002012-07-23T09:02:05.449-07:00Yes, do it, Justin!

Honestly, if the game were $10, or even $5, I'd be much less likely to recommend it -- mainly due to the repetitive enemies and backdrops -- but for $1.99 it's a pretty obvious pick-up if you're at all into games of this genre.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-14848639261431999452012-07-23T08:01:10.760-07:002012-07-23T08:01:10.760-07:00Looks cute!
