Life bubble: My Mini Planet Reviews

by Carlyyyynshii

I downloaded this game last week and played it for hours and hours every day. I paid for no ads almost immediately and enjoyed the first world with no problems. There was no indication of a second world but I was happy when it brought me there after the first was over. When I got to the second world, mission 18, I noticed there was no way for me to progress within the game. The expander for that section was glitched out, likely as a result of the most recent patch. I’m basically stopped dead in my tracks and there’s no way to contact the developers. I tried via Instagram and Twitter and Facebook but there’s no contact info and no one replied to my DMs. I applied for a refund for the no ads and apple granted it. What a shame because it was fun but you can’t just have no recourse when the game breaks. I’d play it again if they fixed the issue but it’s annoying to open Lifebubble to keep checking if the expander is still broken.

Cute world, starts of ok, seems pretty chill. But my God! Almost everything you see, touch, or bump into has either an ad click or price tag. It’s insane!
At least let me play for a bit, lure me in and get me invested before I am required to deal with ads. Just standing still in the tutorial area I see 6 ads/sales. 2 treasure chests, guy selling a hoverboard, back pack I can buy to add cargo space, a guy that I can click ads to upgrade my character, and some new thing that popped up with a price tag attached. Want to know what gameplay elements I see? Some red crystals and a place to deposit them.
HARD pass on this one.

Life Bubble seems to be primarily yet another mechanism to display ads rather than a “game”. What there is could be fun…if the developers actually concentrated on designing a fun product rather than an advertising machine. Poor UI as the billboards frequently overlap the game details. The levels are just repeated over and over with nothing new added. This one is just another short-lived unremarkable product heading quickly for the trash bin. Disappointing the developers can’t use their time to make something substantial.

This game is fun for what it is: harvesting resources, collecting generated resources, and opening up new spaces.
That being said, the incessant ads stopping the game (and occasionally killing you, if you’re moving towards danger when one pops up) will put a serious damper on your enjoyment.
Not to mention that once you get halfway through the second world, you simply cannot continue further. The mechanics of the game’s progression just don’t function.
This is 100% a semi-decent game that is also unfortunately an ad-filled cash grab.
Worth some of your time if you have the patience for all the ads or the disposable income to pay for the “No ADS” feature.

This game is amazing, and it started off with almost no video ads, unless you were wanting to upgrade an item faster, then you could play a video ad if you wanted to. But as I started to play the game longer, a video ad would come in every once an while, and now it plays a video ad every 2 minutes. And it’s so annoying. You can’t even play the game offline without a video ad coming in, which is weird. Anyways, I don’t think I’ll play this game that much anymore because of the constant video ads. I do understand that this game needs to make money. But idk.

They said the last update fixed bugs, and I read some of the other reviews. Some of the levels are repeating. Which feels like a waste. I upgraded for the no forced ads which makes it better cause there was way to many way to often. Though you still get the option to watch ads for power ups. Though it’s an option and not forced which is nice. I just wish the bugs would get fixed and the levels not repeat. Others said it quit repeating on there side after update though mine didn’t

Update- they said they fixed the bug. But my levels are still repeating. It’s like the same 3 levels over and over. Still kind of like it but i don’t play it near as much cause it’s annoying that it’s the same levels.

by Blitzy88

Despite the ads and not being able to play it offline, it was a fun game. That was until I realized it is the same two maps repeated endlessly. After I got to level 6 I deleted the game, it would be insane to play this anymore.

To the devs, I don’t agree with adding a ton of levels that are on repeat. It’s almost like you’re trying to trick the player via seeing the space ship travel to new worlds, yet the mission remains the exact same, with no change in scenery.

The game is actually a lot of fun to play. I was hooked right away. It definitely has way to many ads so I would just play it with my iPad being on airplane mood. After you complete one world you take the spaceship to another world. After about the 3rd world it makes u think your going to another world but it actually goes back to play world 1 again. You get to keep ur upgrade you have done on ur backpack and equipment which is nice but doing the same world over and over gets boring. Definitely needs an update with more worlds added on.

I’ve had fun playing this game, I haven’t had any problems till now. I was shooting a robot and ended up dying well when I came back to life I was put on a part of the map that I didn’t have access to with a bridge that I haven’t unlocked and have to way to get back on the other side. I tried dying to see if it would put me back where I was but that didn’t work. I tried to report the problem but I can’t find where to do that. Would love to be able to continue playing but don’t see that happening if I can’t get back to where I was.

by Balsymravyn

Overall very fun and relaxing. There are a lot of ads which are annoying….and I’ve noticed on world three or four, that the people who fish for you are fishing squid instead of orange fish so now I can’t retrieve fish. There is also a green wheat extractor requiring materials from the previous world that can’t be attained so that won’t allow us to move on with those. One of the fishing spots fishes orange fish but shows blue fish in the pond. Small details that need to be fixed, but over all I enjoy the the relaxing atmosphere of the game.

by Laurenrox5

really fun. I paid for no ads and it was so worth it. Got to world 4 and it was the same as world 1. You don't have to wait for the bubbles to unlock which is really nice. Played all 3 through again hoping for something fresh after the third one and it sent me back to world 1 again. Not sure why they have 11 worlds but they're just duplicates of the 3. Also the mission reminders at the top are really annoying and you can't access the full settings bar because of the missions bar. I wish the missions went in an order that let me see what materials i needed for the task that i'm actually working on. Not the one that's 10 steps away

I may be biased but I am into the games that don’t force ads. This game plays for a bit without ads then starts random ads those game are not as fun forcing it. Most of the games I play you select the ad yourself when you want to and up something in speed funds or what ever seems like someone will click more ads by themselves then when forced cause they want something just saying wish all games were modeled this way.
This is a super fun game close to Astro nere and really fun but when ad auto starts it makes me close out start again or delete it another game I play I prolly watch way more ads myself just to enhance something and it’s self choice makes it better great game and concept thanks devs

by Much More Memes

The new improved one is actually better because it has a warning thing which tells you about a ad is gonna come at that time it’s a bit boring but I will play it if I can or if want to and it’s not super interesting because when you buy something from the store I will say when you buy something at the store it doesn’t change your backpack or anything for me because I only upgraded to 9 or more and it doesn’t look like it changes the backpack or something else.

by Zhi 0 er

I can see this game is fun, but it just so full of bugs. For better experience, I paid for no ads and paid for extend my tools. First 2 worlds is fine. But then world 3 is starting to have trouble. At first I thought the game just being lazy to recycle the levels, but after I get into the world 4, it looks exactly like world 2 (and world 3 looks like world 1). And then I saw there’s update on bug fix, so I updated. Now world 4 looks completely different. So I’m happy. But then why the 3 stars only? Because new bug is coming, other than the mysterious sometimes suddenly super slow moving character, now this game even make the fish rack that full with world 2’s fish. It start out normal gold fish and helper helping to fish them, but after I close my game and re-enter later, all fish in the helpers turn pink, worst of all, I can’t even collect them to reset. It just full of pink fish now and I have to manually fish now again. Not a fan.

The game is great little game, i am not finding bugs and such, the game was alot of fun and i was watching a ton of ads to get buffs or get ahead, but then all the sudden, and even though im watching a ton of advertisements to get the next buff, the game started forcing me to watch an add every minute or so while running across the map. The game was so fun and the watch ads for buffs were well done, i think the forced ads need to go, becaus eat this point the forced ads are about to make me quit playing which means no ad revenue for you greedy idiots.

Game would be 5 stars, but forced ads are a no go.

by I Just Want To Turn The Camera

It’s a decent idle game with a good enough system to keep you motivated to play, there are a lot of ads. A lot. Lots of glitches too. No way access the better part of the ‘settings’ menu, and after completing the second world you are sent to the very beginning of the first world again, all progress for both lost. Decent clicker but they have a long way to go before it can be considered done or close to.

by VerySadPotato

I love the premise of this game and I’m currently using it to procrastinate! It’s kinda one of those games that’s mindless and time consuming but gives you some satisfaction.

It pushes using ads nonstop, even on airplane mode. It’s hard to upgrade stuff when it desperately feels the need to load AFTER it attempts to load ads for 10+ minutes. Most of the ads are super long as well. Upwards of 45 seconds to a minute.

I can’t seem to figure out how to turn off the tips. Settings are blocked by the goals.

The game constantly reminds you what goal your supposed to be working on and will actively show you every time you get on Lifebubble . I appreciate the reminders but I’d like a bit more freedom to work on other things without being nagged.

I am currently on the second planet and having fun, however right now I am stuck. I had upgraded a bubble node putting in the required resources, waiting for the time limit (off Lifebubble ), and hit expand, but the bubble didn’t expand all the way to the next node for me to continue progressing.
So I can’t continue playing till it’s fixed.

P.S. the node I upgraded, it is at the area of land on the map that has the log and star shaped flower.

by Emily C…

I finished the second planet and accidentally touched the screen when it was getting ready to transport me to the third planet and I was brought back to the first. There’s no way that I can find to get back to where I’m supposed to be without completing the first planet again (expansion pods immediately expand). I am really hoping it doesn’t make me go through the second planet again just to get back to where I’m supposed to be.

by Nikdenise

I loved this game. Was completely obsessed with it. I’m on an extremely limited income and I purchased no ads as well as one other bonus item. The two levels were great, then the third was an exact copy of the first. The fourth an exact copy of the second. And the fifth an exact copy of the first again.
I recommend finding a different game. Waste of time.

by Patagarang

This game is fun and has the right amount of active and passive elements. As the level unfolds, the level of difficulty is well balanced and there’s a really nice amount of challenge. It looks great and the gameplay logic is super solid.
Unfortunately, every level is exactly the same. I’m sure they’ll eventually make each level unique, but until then there’s not a ton of play. There are other smaller issues, but it’s super playable as is.

I’m on level 4 I believe, I have yellow fish in the game my workers collect 16 if i don’t collect it within 5 minutes it turns into purple squid , which that level doesn’t have. It won’t let me collect my fish therefore half the first part of game is waisted because I can’t collect anything . I’m way to far into the game to start over again so please fix ! I love this game it helps me calm my adhd .

by Oztopus

I absolutely hate the mission reminders. Like I’ll be unlocking things so I can get to the mission that is currently inaccessible and the mission at the top will remind you of it’s presence and it’s something small but it bugs me. Or when every once in a while a text prompt pops up reminding you that you can click the mission box to see where it is. It’s a really fun game but that one little thing bugs me a lot.

by Jenn23o

Such a fun game. Each level had plenty of gameplay and kept me engaged. I loved looking forward to what the next level would bring. Now to the-However… After about 4 worlds (maybe 5) the game just starts repeating. I was really sad when I got to the end of the 4th or 5th level and the next was just level 1 repeated. Hopefully, there will be some new levels at some point. Otherwise, great game.

by JaysonRoach

5/5 stars for sure! Great game, pretty minimal on the ads. I just got to level 5 and chose to not watch any bonus ads except for the backpack size increases which I’d highly recommend.

Occasionally it will hit you with an ad, but it’s not too often.

Downside is when you get to level three you realize it’s just a copy of level 1. Levels 4 is a copy of level 2. Level 5 is again a copy of level 1.

Now since I’ve upgraded so much, repeating the levels one time was still enjoyable. But now at level 5 I’ll be deleting the game because I don’t want to repeat the same level a third time.

by Critt_626

Finally, a fun game that does ads right! I absolutely hate ads, and nothing will make me drop a game quicker than it being bogged down with ads! BUT! This game does them right! You are rewarded for each ad you choose to watch with either items you need to play the game or upgrades for items. This means, yeah! I watch a lot of ads, but I don't care because I get stuff that helps with gameplay! Other game designers could learn a lot from these guys!

by Tessalyn S

It is a good game however I wouldn’t like as many ads as it gives me but overall with the collecting items for the tasks and doing it for fun it is an amazing game I 💯 percent recommend it for anyone who is thinking about getting it it is an amazing game and the past few days I have had it I have had a lot of fun with playing the games but otherwise for the ads I would reduce them thank you for this amazing game it is just 👍 great

by Me2001911

This game is addictive and a lot of fun. Like most games it has ads, and you can watch extra ads for rewards and they aren’t clumped together and you don’t get one every two minutes. It feels like it’s worth us to watch 30 seconds because they give you so much in return especially compared to other games allowing you to make good progress. The graphics are adorable and I love the ‘level up’ system how you can get different ores and such. I’m excited to see what this game brings in the coming future, keep up the good work.

by Lil_yima

Just started playing. Best part is it helps my ADHA brain stop over thinking for 20 minutes while I enjoy a “gather” and “spend” type of game FOR FREE (with ads to give you a 30-60 second break to check your messages) and for that they give you perks again FOR FREE (with 15-30 second ads). Hope it helps. Enjoy guys!

by Favoritecolorpurple

I have been playing this for a week or so and I am addicted to this game the only thing I don’t like is when I played today it would black screen for the ads and I had to get out to close them. So I have to go without the ads to do stuff. I hope they fix this soon because it help so much when you can use the ads to do stuff.
