![]() The game has been written in Perl/SDL and developed on a Mandriva Cooker Gnu/ Linux distribution. ![]() The upcoming 2.2.1 version is ported to Windows and Mac OSX Ports are not supported/endorsed by the original Frozen-Bubble team. May work back until 2006 i586: frozen-bubble-2.2. - and probably libSDL_Pango1-0.1.Unofficial latest Frozen-Bubble for old Mandriva: NB: USE-flag mikmod must be enabled in media-libs/sdl-mixer, ifi not the building process crashes and emerge asks the user to reemerge media-libs/sdl-mixer with proper use-flags. Gentoo: emerge sync & echo "games-arcade/frozen-bubble ~arch" > /etc/portage/package.keywords & echo "media-libs/sdl-pango ~arch" > /etc/portage/package.keywords & emerge frozen-bubble where ~arch is your architecture (x86 or amd64 etc).Fedora Core: FC5 and up, in official Extras repository.Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install frozen-bubble.Moreover, what was a bit weird was, other than me, everyone was named FINALFANTA.Installing Frozen-Bubble By Linux distributions: While we could easily get connected to the online server, there were only 7 games and 3 players online. While the game might sound to be custom made for kids, it shall work as a great stress buster if you manage to sneak the live DVD in your office :-) Moreover, you can also play against other players, on the internet, and show off your score to the community. The game is currently available only for Linux and BSD, but a Windows and a Mac port are both in the works and should be available at some point in the future. If you would like to try Frozen Bubble, you can get it by going through your favorite Linux or BSD package manager or repository. If nothing else, it’s a good time killer when you’re bored or have little to do. ![]() Given the extra features of the multiplayer side of the game, it should provide you with more than enough of a challenge to keep things interesting for a long time to come.įrozen Bubble, while overly simple in many ways, is still a very good game and certainly worth your time to at least look into and maybe even play. So if you ever feel up to it, you can challenge your friends to a quick game. You can do player vs player side by side battle on the same machine, or over the internet. Also, if single player isn’t challenging enough for you, then you may want to look at the multi-player option. Since it’s flexible, if you want, make your own challenges. There are a few more than only require two or three well placed shots and the level is over.īut that doesn’t mean the game has to be boring. Not all the levels are like this though, but there are a couple. Being able to win a level with just one shot seems a bit counter productive to the goal of making a fun and entertaining game in my honest opinion. In fact, some of the levels are so simple that just one single well placed shot and the level is over. And even then you’re not really truly challenged until you reach level thirty. It’s not until you get up around level 20 that things start becoming a challenge. I say this because the game really provides you with essentially no challenge for the first 15 or 20 levels. But to some extent, I think the creators went a bit too far to keep the concept of simple. This way anyone from two to seventy two will find the game fun and relaxing to play. Since it’s a pop-cap type game, you’re typically not going to be confronted with complex puzzles or crazy hoops you have to jump through to win. You’re meant to have that one basic task to perform within the game. While that might seem a bit too simple, that’s actually intentional.
