To Big Blue Bubble’s credit, the game gets smarter and more challenging as the levels go on, ramping gently in difficulty as you learn to change the color of your flame and burn enough of each wick to move on to the next level. As with Blaze, you need to tilt the puzzle to guide the flames to light up an object like Helsing’s Fire, the color of the flames eventually matters, and the name and cute factor are both inspired by Cut the Rope. Here, you’re given a wick that can be lit wherever you prefer, starting one or more flames burning from the initial point of contact it’s then up to you to burn as much of the wick as possible.

If you’ve played any of the other first-person shooters from the App Store, you have a good idea of what to expect here: dual joystick controls with an optional fine-aiming gun sight, multiple guns, grenades, and some diversity in missions-one has you carry and trigger tower-toppling explosives, while others put you in control of vehicles such as a tank or a helicopter. ![]() Though short, this a good enough book to be worthy of a $2 asking price on the merits of its 2-D content alone.
