Bubble Spinner
By Jorge Figueiredo - November 25th, 2008
Over at DeadWhale.com (one of the most interesting URLs ever), there is a newish game called Bubble Spinner. The basic concept is very similar to Bust-A-Move, where one shoots bubbles at a cluster and when a match of three or more bubbles occurs, they disappear (each bubble starts off as 1 point). If the “popped” bubbles were acting as an anchor holding a group of bubbles to the main “hub,” you get points for each of those as well.
The difference with this game is that the whole cluster rotates about the center whenever contact is made. Also, there are a certain number of shots the player is allowed to make without popping the bubbles before more bubbles are randomly added to the outside.
The game ends when one of the bubbles touches the side of the screen.
Bubble Spinner is horribly addictive. So addictive that I wanted to write a review four days ago but end up playing the game every time I sit down to write about it.

Dude, you were not kidding. I hate and love this game.
Agreed, it pisses me off yet its very fun. It’s a game that if spruced up abit would be great on Xbox Live or PSN.
I’m a total addict of online puzzle games, and this one was no exception.
I don’t even know it I was having any particular amount of fun, I just couldn’t stop playing!
It also started making me dizzy, but I also have a monstrous head cold.
Take some Buckley’s and conquer, Chrissy. CONQUER!
