Download Bubble Ghost

When you play a computer game, you usually need to take care of your character. If you fall into a trap, get shot, or run out of air, you die. Well, not in this game; in this game you're already dead! That’s right, you play a lovable little white ghost, whose only worry is that his bubble might burst!

The concept is simple: You need to blow a bubble through the room to the other level. Being a ghost, you can position yourself on every imaginable spot on the screen, but if your bubble touches anything it will explode.

To move the bubble you need to blow on it (press Space to do so). The longer you hold down the key, the stronger the gust of wind and the farther the bubble will travel. Sometimes you will need precision, though, so don't blow too hard. To position yourself (you can only blow straight ahead) you need to use the cursor keys and Q/W to rotate the ghost (you can't turn around, so to blow the bubble to the right side of the screen, you need to position yourself upside down).

The graphics of this game are nice; you get to choose them when you run the game (I suggest EGA). The levels are quite imaginative - some require you to sacrifice a bubble in order to turn off a certain item - but unfortunately you need to start from the beginning every time you play the game. So, although the game tends to become slightly repetitive, it still remains somewhat challenging. I can’t really say anything positive about the sound, though.

The game supports a two-player mode and a practice mode (that's always a plus), and you can change the keymapping.

All in all, I really like this game, so although it might deserve a 3, I admit I'm a bit biassed; I give it a 4 - I really fell in love with this little game.
