Friday Game: Bubble Spinner
7
Bubble Spinner kicks ass and I’m honestly surprised we haven’t posted it yet (don’t fact check me!), as @chadp and I have been competing for high scores for like two years. It is your classic Bust-A-Move style game with matching colors to pop bubbles, but with a literal twist.
The bubbles are stuck on a spinning peg in the center, so aiming your shots requires tactics for lining up future shots. Often times a shot needs to be wasted just to spin the board into a good place, but the meter at the bottom left shows how many shots you can take without clearing a cluster before the game drops a handful of extra bubbles on. It can get ugly fast.
The goal is of course to clear the whole board without letting the board hit the edges, and when you do a new board appears with a 2x point multiplier, and then a 3x multiplier. It probably goes to 4x after that but I’ve never seen it happen.
Notes: Balls can bounce off the walls and floor, but a ball that bounces around the board without ever landing counts against your extra bubble meter and you have to reshoot the same color.
High Score to beat:
GOOD LUCK TRYING TO BEAT IT

Cool game. I suck at it. Thanks!
Score: 161
Bouncing the balls of the wall is key as is knocking off big chunks at once rather than going for the easy outer layer match.
I wondered what you two had been up to for the last 2 years.
It requires Adobe Flash to play. Since that plugin is used to hack computers with all it’s back-door flaws, I will not install it. So I’m sad but I cannot play.
The corporation I worked for had flash from all systems about a decade ago. I’m surprised people are still using it. Adobe is finally killing Flash in 2020.

Oops, I should have proofread my comment.

@cengland0 If I get hacked, @moose better lawyer-up.
@medz nah all I’m hearing is excuses
I’ve wasted so much time on this game. Another tip to keep in mind is you’ll only get colors to shoot that are currently on the board, so if you can eliminate one or more it gets much easier.
