If interesting puzzles that play quickly are to your taste, then you’ll love the new game from Addicting Games, Bubble Quod.

In Bubble Quod. due to outside dangers that are poorly defined, you’ve sealed yourself in a bubble that provides you with invulnerability to all dangers.  But, the downside to this is that soon, your bubble comes to feel like a prison, and thus you’ll have to free yourself by popping the bubble on various nails and hooks sticking out of the walls around you.

So apparently you’re invulnerable to all harm except pointy things.  But we’re not here for the story, we’re here for the bubble.  You’ll have to roll your bubble around and use springboards and fans and oil slicks and everything in between to burst your bubble for thirty full stages.  The result is actually fairly entertaining, and plays rapidly with a solid fun factor.  Decent music and fair quality graphics keep the experience from souring.

You could definitely play a whole lot worse than Bubble Quod–I know I have–especially for the whopping price of free.
