Oh man, "no whining"? Clearly Kongregate doesn't know us very well. It would take nothing short of divine intervention to get us to stop pissing and moaning.
Oh and yes, this badge is really freaking unfair and obnoxious. Grrr argh.

everytime i lose is always when im a big bubble and im get trapped in a corner with one mine above and to my side and i can get out.

It's been a long time since I last left a comment on this dead website, but this BOTD really takes the cake. I have played many games here that are more frustrating than this one, yet Bubbles 2 is by far the absolute worst badged gamed I have played on Kongregate. The only thing making this game less frustrating than some of the others I have excoriated is that it doesn't even stoop to the pretense of blaming the player for randomly losing. It knows that it's random and it doesn't care. There's hardly any player agency at all, and what little agency does exist is degenerate in nature. There's an essential, archetypal, almost primordial garbageness to the design of this experience. It is less a "game" than it is the *idea* of a game, a lazy scenario one might contrive as a test case for a hobby deep learning algorithm. If I could give this a score below 1/5, I wouldn't hesitate. -1/5.

Got to about 1000 points and then tried to avoid bubbles hoping to get a mine-repel or a minesweeper. Getting too big just makes it impossible without a power-up to clear the way.

Oh bubbles, you have me so confused. Your instructions tell me power-ups are good, but druggy seems to go against what I learned in school. Please help?

Just get the easy badge and forget about the hard badge. The movement is sluggish and you get too large to avoid mines before coming close to reach 1938 points to get the hard badge. Let's say you play an hour and still don't have it. That's an hour wasted without any progress. At least in many games, every hour/minute/second is progress towards your goal.

horrible, you can't complete the badge unless you get Bubbles Only, Invincible, or Minesweeper at exactly 1300-1350. You're just too big to dodge.

99% luck, 1% Skill, 100% Concentrated power of will, 0% Pleasure, 100% Pain, and 0% reason to remember the name because hackers fill the high-scores!

9,223,372,036,854,775,807 points? Its either the people who hold the top 7 all time high scores REALLY fail at hiding that they're hacking or they were playing this game since two months ago (which i doubt) and have no life... (that i dont doubt).

*scores epic amount of points* Yes, yes, my life is complete! *exits to main menu*... Wait, was I supposed to submit?!

How do they even pick the badge of the day? It seems to me like it's completely random, and they don't even test it out first. A couple days ago the badge of the day was broken and unawardable, and now this game. Based on the track record, it seems like the badge of the day does nothing but cause the players to be angry and cause the game to lose a star or two from its rating. Good work, Gamestop, for trying and failing to fix a system that wasn't broken in the first place!

Very un-polished game... The 'bubble' handles like crap, the controls are sluggish and often result in a unfair death, there is far to many times where it is IMPOSSIBLE to continue... PLAY TEST YOUR GAME OR DONT RELEASE IT!

HIGH SCORE PROTIP: Avoid bubbles altogether - use the "invulnerability" and "minesweeper" powerups to destroy mines instead. This way, you earn points while staying small enough to dodge and survive.

The Bubble Only power up may not be working correctly was about 200 points from hard badge had Bubble only power up and a mine came out of nowhere

No mouse control and much too basic. No skill requirement (the 'controls' would prevent you from using any skill anyway) just luck and a lot of patience. Instead of rebuilding the engine from scratch, try rebuilding the idea instead.

sadly I can;t move ( I got my hopes up thinking that I was going to be able to actually control a bubble than poof, gone.

The worse situation you can get into is when you're a fairly large bubble cornered on all sides by mines with no powerups in sight.
Also I don't consider half these powerups helpful! Why would I want speed just so I could be speedily rammed right into a mine?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
What the hell is wrong with these controls? I brush the key ever so gently, I shoot across the screen. I ram down the key hard, I inch along like an injured turtle. There's something wrong here.

I got the hard badge after getting several Repel Mines, Bubbles Only and Minesweeper powerups. Final score: 4100. COME ON!

I think the guys at Gamestop should be required to achieve a badge themselves before givuing it the Powerup rewards tag.

And i'm like,hm,what if i just destroy mines and never grow,and the game is like oh,yeah,you,smarty pants,and what will you do if i give you no shooting or invincible powerups?
