Frozen Bubble for S60 3rd Edition - Video & Review



The extremely popular multi-platform Open Source game Frozen Bubble has finally made it to Symbian S60 3rd Edition phones, after being available for S60 1st & 2nd Editions for many years. You can see a gameplay video above, and read my review at the following link:

The idea of the game is to match up three or more bubbles next to each other, which makes them fall down, along with any other bubbles that they were holding up. You have to clear the screen to complete a level, and there are 100 levels in all.

The game was originally written for Linux, hence the presence of the penguins, the mascots of Linux. However, it's since been ported to many other platforms, and the person responsible for the S60 versions is Elias Konstantinidis.

Thanks be to Darla Mack for bringing the S60 3rd release of Frozen Bubble to the attention of the world on her excellent blog.

Where to get Frozen Bubble
