I just thought this little panda was so cute. And since I agreed he really looked like a Dave, I figured I would give The Game Called Bob a test run. I was glad I did as I had a lot of fun with it. The aim of the game is for Dave to survive the bubble rain for as long as he can. Dave is a panda and you are the panda, so you have to control Dave. To do that, you use the left and right cursor keys (for moving Dave around) and the up key (for blowing bubbles). The longer you hold down on the up key, the bigger bubble Dave can blow and that is actually a great way of doing it because I find I am pretty much holding my breath when I hold down the up key, just like I would if I was a real panda, blowing up a real bubble! The game is actually a lot harder than it looks. At first I only got 20 points, because I didn't get that I was meant to be avoiding the red bubbles and making my own white bubbles. But by the next game I was already up to 360 points, as I was not only avoiding the red (bad) bubbles, but I was also creating my own white bubbles, in the space where the red ones were, to knock those out. So what you basically are trying to do in The Game Called Bob is twofold: avoid the red bubbles and create your own white bubbles to attack those bubbles and not get attacked by them. You don't have as much movement with Dave as I would actually like ? you can only move from side to side ? and I think that is one of the restrictions of the game, but it is fun when you get to detonate a bubble or speed up (look out for those specific icons in the game ? you will see what they look like before you start playing).
So if you're looking for a cute game, then I think The Game Called Bob fits the bill. It's cute, can be challenging and you definitely see yourself improving in each game so it's not as frustrating as a lot of the other games out there.
