Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004OT: A confession
Hi, my name's Marina, and I'm a bubblaholic. Yes, I'm sad to announce that this computer blonde figured out how to play the game, and in spite of all the warnings posted here, I succumbed to its lure. However, I will never reach the high points others do, because I have to stop and watch the pretty bubbles go pop pop-pop pop-pop-pop-pop-pop before I can shoot the next one. And I will always remember who inflicted this pain on me, because I haven't bookmarked the page; each time I feel the urge to play, I have to go search for Bev's original post to get the URL. I wish now that I hadn't reminded you of the tinfoil, Bev.

I literally curse it! I haven't solved it yet, and was quite amazed to read that some actually have! I'd like to dedicate a web page for those who are addicted to send their bubbel tactics, some hints, some strategies, and how they pull themself away from it to go to bed at night. It's evil I tell you.

I haven't bookmarked the bubble page either and keep going back to my original posting, I'm trying to go cold turkey and make it hard for myself going back to the game. I have only ever finished it once and for some reason keep bombing out at 3 or 4 thousand. groaning as another bubble fit consumes me.

Ah, the lucky individual who can ask this question. Dave, don't ask! If you don't ask, you won't know. Reminds me of something a recovered junkie wrote (paraphrasing): "I envy people who've never tried heroin, because they DON'T KNOW what it's like. I have to live for the rest of my life, knowing what that was like, and knowing I can never have that again..." OK, a slightly overblown analogy, perhaps. :) Joyce >>Hey Marina, so far it is working, 'the tinfoil' lol. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Wot {sic} bubble game?

Bast help me if I had bookmarked it. Joel wishes to know whether getting a low score is in fact a better show of skill than getting a higher score in Bubbels if you actually finish the game. While I have gotten humungous scores in the 80k+ region, I still haven't managed to get anywhere close to finishing, the best I've been able to do is the emimination of one colour only. And since we only have one computer at home, Bubbels is causing some interesting domestic "discussions" as to whose turn it is for their next fix. Bev, I hereby curse you with interesting cats! Yowie > Joel wishes to know whether getting a low score is in fact a > better show of skill than getting a higher score in Bubbels if > you actually finish the game. I have wondered the same thing. And, wondered if it should be added to the thesis. As to Bev's said thesis post, my gremlins aren't print worthy. lol Just must add the "sudden intake of breath, like an abrupt sigh that means I didn't mean to do that! Can I take it back" gremlin.

When I start a game, a couple of shots will be fine, but then some of the bubbles I have to shoot don't have two of the same color together for me to pop. I try to put an 'unmatched' shooter next to at least one of the same color so I'll have a future target, but then I start to lose turns and the whole game goes out the window. Any tips? Regards and Purrs, O J > >Hi, my name's Marina, and I'm a bubblaholic. > ---------------------<snip>---------------------- [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > so I'll have a future target, but then I start to lose turns and the > whole game goes out the window. Any tips? If you can't place a bubbel so that it pops others, you are best off placing next to one of its own colour so that when a second of that colour turns up, you can shoot the two that are already together. *However* have a think about it it first as you don't want to completley block a nice big clump of the same colour with an unmatched bubbel, and just remember you can get rid of unmatachable bubbels by shooting other bubbels so they become completley detached fromthe rest. If you are *really* stuck and there is no bubbel of that colour to pair your bubbel with, or any placement will block another set,then the best place to put an orphan bubbel is right at the side or in a palce that within the next few shots will become detached from the rest of the group. When the game starts on the 6th unmatched bubble, an extra line will appear at the top of the play area and all the bubbels will move down one line. it then happens on the 5th bubbel after that, then the 4th, then the 2nd, then the 1st. It then resets itself to the 6th bubble again, but this time you get *two* extra lines. It goes through the process again and then you get three extra lines etc etc. HTH Yowie (worried that she's now giving out advice, yet hasn't completed the game yet) (can anyone read Dutch and translate that page?) > > >Hi, my name's Marina, and I'm a bubblaholic. > > ---------------------<snip>---------------------- [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > yet) > (can anyone read Dutch and translate that page?) rofl with crossed eyes, can you repeat that please.

I noticed that sometimes I could get away with shooting more unmatched (non-popping) bubbles than I could other times, before incurring the wrath of the BubbleMaster, who retaliates by giving me more bubbles to pop. I thought this was merely random. Also, I did notice that sometimes it was one new line, and other times two, and just thought it depended on the Master's mood. :) (Yes, I have personnified the game. Yes, that is probably a sign of encroaching delusion and eventual insanity.) I'm glad somebody here is paying attention! Though I'm not sure what you mean by "when the game starts on the 6th unmatched bubble". Doesn't the game start only once, with all the parameters starting out in the same way?

"when the game starts on the 6th unmatched bubble" is actually a horrible peice of editing I didn't catch before I sent it. I meant: "When the game starts, you can shoot 5 unmatched bubbles before anything happens. On the 6th unmatched bubble....". This is what happens when youstart writing a message, get interrupted (by oh, I dunno, an irresistable urge to play some silly computer game) and then come back to it with a slightly different train of thought. Yowie > "When the game starts, you can shoot 5 unmatched bubbles before > anything happens. On the 6th unmatched bubble....". Ah ha. That makes much more sense, thanks! By the way, when I was reading your message, the following line: > This is what happens when youstart writing a message, get interrupted (by was at the bottom of my screen. So I didn't see what you were being interrupted *by* until I got the next screenful: > oh, I dunno, an irresistable urge to play some silly computer game) Gee, and here I thought you were going to say "...get interrupted by a howling bare kitten who needs his mommy." But no, instead it was "Bubbel". That's scary, Yowie!! :) Joyce > > "When the game starts, you can shoot 5 unmatched bubbles before > > anything happens. On the 6th unmatched bubble....". [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > a howling bare kitten who needs his mommy." But no, instead it was > "Bubbel". That's scary, Yowie!! :) The whole game and the resulting addiction is scary!!!! I've been playing it for what seems like forever and still havent' cleared it. I mean, I was even playing it a 4:30am this morning (as bridget can attest to) and *still* haven't beaten it. Argh!!!!!! Yowie I was up at 4:30am because of the Yowlet, *not* Bubbels, honest! > Gee, and here I thought you were going to say "...get interrupted by > a howling bare kitten who needs his mommy."
