Dinsun Review

It's fine. It's just fine. Bubble Pig is the kind of game that exists to fill a category. The controls are floaty—literally—and the level design is uninspired. It’s clearly aimed at kids, but even kids deserve something with more meat on its bones. There’s no innovation here, just the same platforming tropes we’ve seen for thirty years. It’s colorful and runs okay, but there's no reason to play this over Rayman or even Mario Run. It feels cheap, and I don't mean the price.

Bubble Pig is a delightful platformer featuring a brave pig exploring a colorful world. Trapped in a bubble, our hero must bounce through various environments, avoiding hazards and collecting enough food to unlock the next level. With simple controls and 60 challenging stages, it’s a perfect blend of action and casual fun.
