Bubble Boom - chain reaction Time Waster
by Jay Hathaway Jul 31st 2009 at 1:00PM
Bubble Boom is a fun, simple Flash game that's all about chain reactions. You play by placing a single expanding bubble, and hoping that enough other bubbles run into it to clear the level. When bubbles hit your chain and expand, they only stay onscreen for a short time, and if nothing runs into them, your chain is over.
There are also some special colored bubbles that have a wider burst radius, or provide extra points or multipliers. The game is ridiculously easy to play, but the bubbles move so fast that it's hard to apply any strategy.
If you're a chess person, Bubble Boom is probably not for you. If you're the kind of person who enjoys popping sheets of bubble wrap, on the other hand, definitely give it a try.

Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

Pretty much love all the time wasters you post, but this is insanely boring!

Eh, eventually all these games come down to is randomly clicking a bubble and, like you said, hoping. Not much fun at that point.

I was going to mention boomshine also...
But there's also "Chain Rxn" on Facebook.
I prefer Boomshine - no "lifes" - better, more soothing music and sound, and more colorful. :)
