Synopsis

Bubbles is a 1983 action game developed and published by Williams Electronics for arcades. The player uses a joystick to control a bubble in a kitchen sink. The objective is to progress through levels by cleaning the sink while avoiding enemies. The game was developed by John Kotlarik and Python Anghelo. Kotlarik wanted to create a non-violent game inspired by Pac-Man. Anghelo designed the artwork and scenario as well as a special plastic cabinet that saw limited use. Bubbles was later released on home consoles as part of arcade compilations and online as a web-based version. Reception was mixed and focused on the odd premise. Critics nonetheless praised the gameplay as enjoyable, with some noting the title's obscurity. While reviewers were divided on the audiovisuals, a common point of criticism was the graphics having an excess of blue.
