Frozen Bubble is a free computer game under the GNU General Public License, which runs under Android, Linux and S60 ( as a one-player version as well as a Java applet ). There is also a Java version for mobile phones (Micro Frozen Bubble ).

Formation

Frozen Bubble was originally written by Guillaume Cottenceau. It is a strategy game based on a kind of puzzle. Frozen Bubble is a clone of the game Puzzle Bobble. Up to the second version newly inserted server written in C, which is needed for multiplayer games on the network, the entire game is written in Perl, wherein the multimedia library SDL is used. The game features 100 levels and features a level editor.

Gameplay

The game is about as meaningful as possible the mapping given balls of different colors on a variety of other balls. The ball throwing machine gives the player a ball with a certain color (another ball is always visible in advance). This ball, the player must play at least two like-colored balls on the playing field (also on the rebound ). This assignment causes resolves this color unit and the amount of balls decreases. Can not have three balls are merged, the amount of balls increases. The more balls on the field are, the harder it is to clear the board, because you have less time to think is. If the playing field is full, the game is ended. The goal is that no ball is on the field. You control the game with the keyboard. In addition, pushing a stamp in certain time intervals the balls to a number down, that is, something is urgent and there is thus a time limit.

Multi-user game

Furthermore, there is a multi-user game from version 2.0. One can for two play against each other and if there are more then three balls on a computer, the opponent gets the excess number for his next shot from below thrown in his ball heap, which can be very annoying, but increases the appeal of the game significantly. Furthermore, the balls down the back from the top are filled with new balls, that is, a multi-user game has no predetermined time limit. In network (Local Area Network or Internet) you can fight with up to five players against each other, here the excess balls are distributed to all or by pressing F1 to F4 leaked before a shot of a particular player. If you want the whole exercise at rest, is also multi-user training for single player, where you only play against time.

Basically there are the multi- user games have the option of the chain reaction. If different colored balls fall off and be at least two contiguous and not completely enclosed balls of their color find, they will be automatically played. Hanging on these, different colored balls that mitfallen, these can in turn start another chain reaction. Unfortunately, this only the excess balls of each step leaked to the other, that is, each time completing three balls disappear, but by rows of moving up from the top ( all 12 shots a new line) remains challenging.
