Dizzy: Bubble

Game review

In Dizzy: Bubble, you embark on an underwater adventure with the character Dizzy, whose mission is to navigate through the depths of the sea. The goal is to collect pearls scattered throughout the underwater realms. Starting from the sea bed, Dizzy's journey involves rising to the surface, a task that requires skillful jumping from bubble to bubble. These bubbles are not permanent and will burst after a short duration, adding a layer of challenge to your ascent.

The first version of the game Bubble Dizzy was released for consoles already in November 1990, but the remake for PC was not available to players until the beginning of 1993. The wait was worth it, because the game had a much more sophisticated and nicer graphic appearance. The game system is simple, you start each level at the bottom of the sea and you have to get up before you run out of oxygen. Along the way, you have to avoid carnivorous (in Dizzy's case, rather egg-eating) fish, replenish your air from bubbles and marginally also collect pearls, for which there are appropriate bonuses.

The underwater world is not without its dangers. Predatory creatures like sharks, octopuses, and swordfish roam the depths, posing threats to Dizzy's quest. To survive these encounters and continue collecting pearls, you'll need to dodge these enemies and navigate carefully through the aquatic maze.

Dizzy: Bubble offers a unique underwater adventure that combines platforming challenges with strategic resource management. As players guide Dizzy through the perilous and pearl-filled underwater landscapes, they'll need to balance the pursuit of treasures with the necessity of survival, making for an engaging and thoughtful gaming experience.
