Pop (Wiiware) Review

Review By Trist
Wiiware (700 Wii Points)- Developed by: Nooooooo!
Puzzle- Rated E for Everyone (ESRB)

A debut Wiiware title, does it have what it takes to be worth its weight in gold?

Pop is definitely one of my favorite games of late as it is madly addictive. Who knew that popping bubbles could turn into hours upon hours of madness?

Pop is a simple game that revolves around players pointing their Wii cursor at the screen and pressing the A or B button in an attempt to pop as many bubbles as possible. The player can tackle through several modes of gameplay (Normal, Advanced, Chill, and multiplayer versions of these modes), and compete for their mark on the Worldwide Leadership Boards.

Pop is a simple game to grasp and will truly be enjoyable to people of all ages. Although it is simple, there are several complex elements within. The first is the bubble chaining system in which the player can choose to pop bubbles of the same color in order to score a multiplayer and gain tons of points. There are power-ups as well that can affect the gameplay. Power-ups can affect the time that is required to survive. The takes place through a series of waves. Each wave usually will feature a different color of bubbles, background, music, speed, and direction of bubbles. Players lose when the clock reaches 0 or a negative number (for example if the timer is low and there is a chain of “nukes” and “skulls” then the skulls will continue to deduct time and even go to negative time, which is weird).

    Hey– I don’t know if it is intentional or a coding error but clicking “white space” on this site to bring focus back to the browser window launches an ad in a new window. Not Cool! If this is on purpose it is damned annoying! The site has displayed this quirk for the past 2-3 days.
    I know this isn’t the appropriate place for this comment but there is no general comment section available…

    @antho
    I don’t have that problem…. I’m using IE7, what browser are you using?

    Using IE7, I also get the click-through further down the page anywhere in the left margin and middle margin (between the articles and side-bar links on the right).

    Hmmm,
    Well, anyways, the site creator Mickey said he’d get to it ASAP or something to that effect.
