Tiny Bubbles is sort of physics based match four puzzle with some complexity thrown in. What's special compared to other similar games is that the bubbles have bubble physics modelling. Bubbles are attracted to each other, so popping one in the middle means that other bubbles will fill its place. Especially the first area is trivial and functions as a tutorial about the available tools and diffent variants of the level goals. Difficulty rises gradually, so levels that can be complished under a minute get further and further apart. Level progression does have multiple paths, so there's no need to try same level over and over again (paths eventually lead to same place though). Choices don't get overwhelming as most of the levels are locked until path to them is opened when previous levels along the path are completed. Game also subtly suggests a level, so pondering what level to choose is not necessary. Levels are relatively varied. After few areas there's no new gameplay mechanics...

User Reviews
Tiny Bubbles is a world class casual puzzle game. It's a joy to play each moment because the physics are so robust, and it still manages to be a genuine challenge. I love how the mechanics are loose enough to where you straight up have to quickly finesse the physics sometimes to beat the level, or you can take your time and megamind it. Add the "Nick's Praise Award" to your giant award cabinet.
Well worth the money, a great matching game with interesting mechanics and impressive visuals.
+ Nice graphics + Unique spin on the match X series + Is kinda fun + Many solutions to many of the levels +/- Sometimes solutions are really unique and difficulty spot +/- Price (On sale its okay, but full price is too expensive) +/- Arcade mode is kinda stressful because of "time limits" - Difficulty curve is rather random (level are sometimes really hard and then really easy) - Arcade mode can be really random (Or seems like random at least) - Infinity mode is time gated Overall I think the game is best as mobile game, not that great as PC game.
Incredibly well polished and deeply satisfying in a tactile sense. Absolutely wonderful game.
I really want to give this game a "meh", but overall this balances out to a positive review. The visuals and overall feel of the game provide a nice calm experience in puzzle mode, which is nice. I really didn't like the arcade mode which felt too frantic and I couldn't really get in the right rhythm. The puzzle part was pretty good, with some novel mechanics. There aren't obvious hard rules on exactly how the bubble move and behave as they grow and pop, but your intuition generally works. Some time is doesn't and I find myself frustrated with trying to figure what order or popping the bubbles will it collapse correctly, and there are times you have to time in even in puzzle mode, letting some bubble pop and then filling more before it is done. But those frustrations are the exception. I'm only maybe half way through so far, but I'm not deeply impressed with the complexity or difficulty of the puzzles. I've not spent more than a couple minutes on any one puzzle and most take < ...
A beautiful, and addictive arcade buzzle game that takes the basic premise of a match-3 game, and makes it so unique and interesting, I just couldn't stop playing until I beat every level. The aesthetic, the colors, and the simple mechanics made this game extremely easy to get into, and with very quick transitions between levels, there's very little down time before you're right back in it. The timing and accuracy puzzles were really interesting and added a level of complexity to that game that was not only intuitive, but really fun to try and figure out. The only thing I can say as a negative is I would definitely love more. There just isn't enough Tiny Bubbles in my life.
I tried, and it's... meh. Concept seemed good at the time but in the end I feel no sense of progression. Plus, some stages really feel random...
A sublime physics-based puzzle game that pushes you to think outside the bubble! Delightfully intuitive, yet wonderfully deep. Some levels test your reaction and resolve, while others let you contemplate before making that perfect, satisfying pop. The difficulty is well-balanced too. Even my wife (who isn't usually into puzzle games) joined in and eventually solved some of the tougher, imaginative challenges. Solid recommendation!
Very pretty; simple but compelling mechanics. Nice little puzzle game.
