A free bubble shooting puzzl
Bubble Panda Pop 2017 is a free-to-play puzzle game from the Bubble Shooter KELV team. This fun twist on a classic match-3 game lets you control a lever and hit the bubbles of the same color to eliminate them from the screen. With every turn, though, the mass of bubbles move downward and once they reach the cute little panda at the bottom, it’s game over.
Judging by its graphics and gameplay, Bubble Panda Pop 2017 is a nature-themed version of Puzzle Bobble Journey. You can also check out Bubble Witch Saga 3 while you’re at it.
Streamlined gameplay, more levels
Fans of this game genre would immediately spot the areas where Bubble Panda Pop 2017 comes out strong and where it’s lacking. For one, it has surprisingly accurate ricochet mechanics that make it possible to do trick shots not possible with other similar games. On the other hand, this stripped-down version doesn’t feature any power-ups, which add flair to games of this genre.
One main feature of this game is that it boasts over 600 levels. Although it lacks power-ups, the level designs offer a great variety and difficulty levels for players. There are stages with a few bubbles to burst, with precise shots required while others are large masses that make it impossible to secure combos. Either way, the range of levels alone is enough to keep players for hours.
Lastly, the game is entirely free-to-play, without any ploy to get you to make any in-app purchase. However, this free gameplay experience comes at a price: ads. There are a lot of ads that appear too frequently as you play the game. In some instances, you can’t even skip them and you have no choice but to wait for a set amount of time before attempting to close ads.
A good casual game
Overall, Bubble Panda Pop 2017 is a good casual game that can keep players entertained for hours or even days on end. What it lacks in extra features like power-ups, it makes up with a great hitbox accuracy and a more streamlined interface. Its 600 levels of varying difficulty will keep players engaged regardless of skill levels. However, the real challenge is not leaving the game because of frequent ads.
