Today's game, let's say it straight away, is not a particularly recent game but still works perfectly! Frozen Bubble it also has two versions: one up F-Droid from 2017 and one on the Play Store updated to 2020. We tested the one on F-Droid and it still works perfectly even on brand new smartphones with Android 13.

But let's get to the game: Frozen Bubble is the "tux" version (do you remember Tux? It's the Linux mascot with which they were created lots of games Open source) of the mythical Puzzle Bobble. For those who lived through the 80s and 90s as a young person, you will surely immediately understand what we are talking about, for everyone else here is a small summary.

Frozen Bubble vs. Puzzle Bobble

Puzzle Bobble (also rarely known as Bust-a-Move) is an arcade puzzle where the two protagonists are the characters of the mythical Bubble Bobble (which in turn are the prequel to the legendary Rainbow Islands, but that's another story). The aim of the game is to shoot colored balls trying to hit other colored balls. If a group of three or more colored balls is formed, they will "burst". The level ends when all the balls run out.

Frozen Bobble it is nothing more than the free version of this game where the protagonists are not Bub And Bob but rather the mythical Tux. The game is very similar to the original and the aim is the same. There are several versions:

• arcade, the balls will slowly fall without an end and the aim is to obtain as many points as possible;
• puzzle, is the level game. You will have to pass each level to win and be able to move on to the next level;
• 2 Player, it is also possible to play with two people. Both against the computer and in Wi-Fi or on the same smartphone via gamepad. We only tried the computer version and it's nice although very simple.

Attention: the version above F-Droid it is not updated and does not work on newer smartphones. The Play Store one, however, does.
