I will not say it is a very bad game but it is not a good game either. Control is not great. I think less than half of the "power-up" is really helpful. Some even trying to kill you.

It should warn a second before bulletspeed ends.. Had 1931 points and bulletspeed. Suddenly it popped into normal speed and when I was pressing to right it flew fast to a mine..

All games that have Keyboard controls should have Keyboard menu controls!
Examples are: Pause, reset, continue, Start, Menu, and Quit.

Adding onto my other comment, if you're going to add a delay between when the mines actually start disappearing during the bubbles only, make it so there's a delay in when they return. I still got a mine even when my power-up was nearly over. Also, for the shooter, when the power-up is gone, I think that the shots shouldn't just disappear instantly but should continue until they hit something/fly off the screen. Lastly, it may be better to (slightly) change the length of the power-ups (good/bad) while in bullet-time because it doesn't seem worth it sometimes to have to wait for the bubbles to slowly come while you're wasting a power-up. It might be better to have it only work in ultimate since it'll give more incentive to pick it up.

would love to get the bonus points but it acts like my buttons stick. This is the second badge of the day that does this to me. Beyond frustrating.

The game isn't too bad. What I hate is that bubbles only doesn't always seem to work like that because I still get a few mines during it, even though the power-up is still on.

It is LITERALLY all luck...the only reason I got this friggin badge is because I kept getting the 'Bubbles Only' and 'Bubble Gatherer' like five times in a row. Other than that one instance after trying a bunch of times there is a serious issue with there not always being a path. It seems...lazy, kind of. I like the concept of the game but just too much luck involved to get a high score.

i have just realized, that once you get the Noir upgrade, the controls make sense!
if only the entire game was Noir...

I finally had a good game going and i got my bubble about 1/4 of the screen size cause of the bubbles only power up then i get the speed power up and i get taken out but dozens of mines instantly

first time 700+ then 10minutes learning the powerups and 1874 then 20minutes tries and ... 1925 then 25 annoying minutes giving up watching how jokovic beats nadal and one final try of 2043 :P

And as I submit that last comment, I get 3000+ points by doing absolutely nothing but sit up top with invincibility power-up and I hit the jackpot and get speed, bubbles only and everything I could ever want. Forgot to mention this, awesome tunes in this game.

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.

so 1 in 10 games you get past 1000, 1 in 100 games past 1500 and 1 in 1000 games you get past 2000. I mean hard badges are meant to not be give aways, but this is just a terrible idea. the creator should have kept your bubble small and increased the amount of mines at this pace. At least then it would be based on how good someone's reflexes are.

"And there is some luck involved. No whining."
There's also some luck involved in hitting the jackpot in slots 3700 times in a row.
EPIC FAIL

It really bothers me when I can play a game 100 times or 200 times and the skill I gain from it has NO bearing on my ability to play it. I have learned what powerups are good and which are harmful, I have a strategy for what part of the screen I sit on as the game progresses. but it all means absolutely nothing.In the end, my score has NOTHING to do with the buttons I press on my keyboard.

Quinn's Review: A very attractive, very small, very well designed little game. Ordinarily I don't highly rate a game that has such a large luck component, but because this is so rapid-fire and so relaxing to play, it's just not really a negative here. The variety and wit of the power-ups is also very appreciated, and makes this game more than just a thirty-second time waster - a round of applause for Noir bubble.

This game is like an acid trip...the longer you play, the more f'd up you get. Seriously. Now it seems like every page slowly goes up. Fun game though! 5/5!

One suggestion I have for this game would be the ability to shrink yourself down (by holding spacebar or something). This would definitely satisfy everyones annoyancce with the luck and also increase the skill aspect of the game. You would probably do this by having like a shrink meter that depletes while shrunk. Otherwise an adequate game 3/5. (+ so developer can see)

I normally love games and flash from MINDistortion, but this title's "little luck involved" (read: stupidly small screen for how big the bubble gets, the spawn rate of the mines, and the possibility of the *LACK* of a path to get through) killed it. I'm just glad I got the badge of the day before I developed and aneurysm.
