NGamer writes: "Originality is a rare and unlikely commodity in games. Whether intentionally or not, most innovations are extensions of older concepts, and as such we've been trying to think where we've seen the seeds of Soul Bubbles in the past. Loco Roco on PSP is the closest thing, but even in that light Soul Bubbles seems unique. A true original, perhaps?
The aim is to transport a bubble - filled with souls, of course - to the end of a long maze.1 You do this by swiping across it with the stylus to generate a puff of air that wafts the bubble through its zero-gravity world. The bubble bounces and ripples as you squeeze it through narrow gaps, away from sharp objects and over sticky organic hazards. It's convincingly surreal."
After a long time of not giving any signs of life, it seems that the iPad and iPhone-version of Soul Bubbles are still alive and coming soon.
Pocket Gamer:
Remember Soul Bubbles on DS? Maybe you don't – it was a bit of a niche title, after all.
It was an extremely good niche title though, and one we gave an 8/10 Silver Award back in 2008.
The good news springing from GamesCom 2010 is that a conversion is being worked on for iPhone and iPad. In fact, Eurocenter’s port of the Mekensleep game is well into production and set for an October release.
