Cute and a little annoying all at the same time
Pros: bonus powerups, multiple game modes, butterfly lore
Cons: frustration factor, occasional uncatchable powerups
Here's a Luxor-style marble popper with a high level of cuteness, a good challenge level, and a little entomology lesson. You are playing Boonka the beetle who is trying to rescue butterflies from the aphids. The game plays largely like Luxor, except that Boonka doesn't always just go back and forth along the bottom; he flies in a semicircular path or may be fixed into position on some boards where he can only pivot on an axis. At the end of every stage you play a round in which you clear a rotating circle of marbles to free a butterfly. Once you win this round you'll get a brief description of your latest rescued friend and the opportunity to view the butterfly up close with rotating views. The butterflies are all actual insects with realistic pictures, so even though this is just a game, it's a nice bonus.
Along with the powerups that fall from the marble chains, there is also a bonus row of powerups at the bottom of the screen. These bonuses gradually become enabled as you get farther through the game, and then each recharges at a rate ranging from fast to slow. Careful planning on the use of these bonus powerups is a must for later stages of the game, when the levels become really difficult in their length and twistiness of the tracks.
There are three different gaming modes, normal, legendary, and tournament. The first two are just different difficulty levels to play the game in, with legendary featuring a couple of upgraded powerups falling from the marble chains. In tournament you play on a single board for the best possible time. In my experience, the normal mode is completable by experienced marble poppers, but legendary doesn't appear to be (I've made it to stage 13 of 15 in legendary but it's nearly impossible at this point).
A couple of things stood out as particularly annoying. One is that powerups falling from the chains will occasionally come in at such an angle that they just sail over Boonka's head without being caught. The other is that the aphids pushing the marbles cannot be shot over. Trying to make shots from the back of a marble chain just hits the aphid pusher in the backside, which the aphid promptly shakes at you; this makes the strategy quite a bit more complex particularly late in the game. If you finish the game...well, I won't spoil that for you. It's still a worthwhile game to play while you're waiting for the next great marble popper to come out.
