Bubble Witch 3 Saga

If you’re looking for a game that is fun for adults but easy enough for kids to play on your phone too, this is it. No ads popping up and no pressure to buy something to be able to continue your game. I appreciate this most of all. You do have the option to purchase, but it’s not forced on you and that is a big deal to me. In fact, I’ve chosen to make an occasional purchase to support the game, specifically because they never made me feel obligated to do it! You do have the option to connect with friends, but no pressure to do so and I’ve been playing just fine without it. The accuracy of the ball aim has improved significantly since the old version. Some levels can be really challenging, but eventually you figure out which cat’s ability will help you most to get you to the end of the level, if you have no boosters left to use. Boosters are simple to earn, by waking up the tree, updating your home, finding the key to the treasure chest, or playing in the no-pressure tournament! I’m a first responder. Sometimes I need an escape to decompress from calls. This game allows me to think through things to ease my mind, while playing. Social media and/or games that are competitive (like candy games) do not do that. Don’t change a thing, and I’ll be a long-time supporter!

Bubble Witch is one of my favorite mobile games ever. It reminds me of one of the first disk computer games I ever played of the same genre. I have logged 905 levels over the last two years and plan to log another 905. I haven’t spent much money on the game just because it’s possible to win without it. I have bought a few lives and bubbles here and there in support of the dev but I find it more fun to try and beat the game with what it provides because if you’re strategic and you get a little lucky you can beat whole worlds without needing to use the extra power bubbles. My only complaint and the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because I seem to regularly get the same glitch every so many worlds where my bubbles, the rotator that they spawn in and the line path of the bubbles just don’t work the way they should. I have no idea what triggers it, no idea how to fix it, I’ve been lucky and after a few days it will fix itself on its own but it’s pretty frustrating particularly when you happen to be on a really good winning streak and then things just stop reacting the way they should. It’s really irritating because I definitely love this game and would like to keep playing uninterrupted but no dice. Trying to talk to the support team is also particularly difficult because there isn’t an option to talk about a glitch and they run you through a lot of automated responses if you email them. It’s definitely still worth playing though. It is one of the better games developed by King, definitely one of the more fair games, level design wise.

I am finally writing a review after playing over 1000 levels. When a newcomer starts the game there will be a, perhaps frustrating, learning curve. Each type of level, “free the owls”, “clear all bubbles”, “help the ghost”, have a slightly different strategy, and you aren’t helped if the bubble combinations aren’t the best. Some levels are easy to win on the first go. Others may take a more than one set of “lives”. That’s a near-perfect luck and strategy combination. So far, I haven’t found myself “forced to spend money”, but I have purchased the piggy’s gold bars to get “lives” a couple of times this year. Partly that was because I wanted to keep playing when I was at the top of a tournament, and partly that was because I figured I owed King something for the months of fun gaming. I DON’T buy the power-ups. They are also awarded free for achieving goals, and my strategy is to use these free aids only if I see the finish line and calculate that using one will get me the win. Thanks, King!
