Gamers Universe writes: "Soul Bubbles brings Loco Roco to the DS in some style - matching both gloopy physics, and high production values. But more than this it proves that gameplay and controls matter more than visuals.
Although I really enjoy gaming with my kids, I am still a few years away from really being able to 'play' with them. Currently I do more assisting than playing. Whether the controls are too complex, or the motor skills of a three and five year old still have dome developing to do before they are ready, there aren't many games that they can happily play on their own. Buttons in particular seem to cause confusion, both the pressing and holding for acceleration and the left and right of the D-Pad to steer."
Pros:
+Great Control Scheme
+Good use of environments
+Good learning curve
Cons:
-Novice players soon get stuck
-Sometimes repetitive music
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.
