Extremely Slow
Most bubble popping games are quick and fun, just point and shoot. This game is so incredibly slow and awkward. The balls that are left dangling do not drop off, instead they are pushed upwards to fit in the row. No quick on the fly game play with this one. I thought it would be a cute game, since the characters are anime-like. I couldn't even finish the first level before deleting the game. Play the demo first before buying!

Take your kids to work day!
I think the developers must have been taking part in the take your kids to work day and let them take over the office. God awful gameplay, you can only shoot bubbles straight up allowing no rebound shots. The power ups are rubbish as well and didn't make me want to play on. The graphics leave a lot to be desired (not normally an issue on bubble shooters but because the gampley was so bad the graphics needed to be a 1000% better just to keep your interest) I can't believe someone got paid to make this rubbish, my dog could do better. Not even worth trying - trust me.

That's an hour I'll never get back
I always get excited when I see a new Bubble Shooter but this one was disappointing. It is very slow and presented no challenge at all. I played the whole 1 hr trial version hoping it would get better, but not so. Where are those clever puzzles as stated in the preview? Maybe they are in the full version? Guess I'll never know since I am not going to waste my points or money to get this one.

A bubble shooter where you have to think
I am a bubble shooter/popper lover, so I have played a lot of these games on my PC, iPad and iPod.
Bubblenauts is very refreshing and innovative and there is really value for your money in this game.
You have to think before you shoot, but you can buy powerups to help you thru the levels.
Only thing I miss is a complete help feature.

You can change the bubble speed in options/gameplay.

Match 3 games, Relaxed play??
Match 3 Relaxed play
Lately the match 3 games you have offered are too busy. Filled with objectives, time constraints and mini games. Please bring back the real relaxed play that has lots of eye candy (explosions), without constraints so it's easy to enjoy.

Wake me when it's over!
I was looking forward to a quick reponsive game but there appears to be just one speed - dead slow. The title of the game promoted a fun idea but it went no further than the title.
I'm sorry Devs but this needs working on.Even my young granddaughter complained that the PC 'wasn't working' properly.
Idea BRILLIANT: - game - very disappointing.

Misclassified!
A marble shooter this aint! This is a puzzle game thru and trhu, and a pretty smart one. Seeing what others have written, I have to agree with one thing - its not fast, and its not about making a blast. But that's the whole point!!! You get your kicks from scheming and planning ahead how to unlock the goodies. And unlike other games, every level really has different puzzles that need you to think up the right touch to solve.

Frustrating and boring
I'm so disappointed. I love bubble shooting and when I saw this game this morning as a soft release it couldn't download fast enough for me. I nearly bought it without doing the trial first, but thankfully I didn't.
This game is the most frustratingly slow and boring bubble shooter I ever came across and I did come across a lot of them. I fully agree with the review of moxiemoll, the game play is really awkward and got me annoyed after a short while. I urge anyone who is thinking of buying it to do the trial first.
For me it is not a bubble shooter in the sense me perceiving a bubble shooter, but I'm also sure that there may be some gamers who would like and enjoy a slower paced game of this genre.

Refreshing, could use more polish...
This is a refreshing take on the bubble popper. You need to pay attention where you shoot the bubbles or else you will not get very far. Some of the game graphics could be better (bubbles - duh!).
Finishing the deep water puzzles is difficult, but that gives you a nice feel of having earned your progress. With a bit more polish, this could be a great game.

Poorly thought out
Wow! This could be a really fun game! problem is: NO Explanation! How to get rid of those darn BOMBS (if that is what they are!) I even started over to see if there was an explanation, but NOPE! C'Mon y'all, you can do better than this! you are on the right track!
