frozen-bubble - arcade/reflex game
frozen-bubble [OPTION]...
The Frozen-Bubble game is a free software implementation of a popular arcade/reflex game. The game mainly consists of firing randomly chosen bubbles across the board. If the shoot ends up having a clump of at least 3 bubbles of the same color, they all pop. If some bubbles were sticked only on the popping clump, they fall. In 1-player mode, the goal is to pop all the bubbles on the board as quickly as possible. In 2-players or network mode, you have to get your opponent to "die" before you.
The default controlling mechanism is through the keyboard, but you can play with a joystick or a joypad if it is supported by the system (use the commandline option -ji to make sure frozen-bubble detected your joysticks). A key (or a joystick direction or button) is needed for moving the aim to the left, moving the aim to the right, center, and fire.
In single player mode, as a beginner the best training is to choose Play Default Levelset, which lets you run through 100 levels of an increasing difficulty. Pop all the bubbles of each level to advance to the next level.
If you want to train for multiplayer, choose Multiplayer Training which reproduces the conditions of 2-player or network mode; the only difference is that created malus bubbles are counted in your score, and you must get the highest score you can in 2 minutes.
In 2-players mode, you can play against a friend (or a foe, actually) on the same computer. The board is populated with random bubbles, and your goal is to make big clumps to send malus bubbles to your opponent.
If your computer has networking, you can choose LAN GAME to play games against others on your local network (up to 5 players). Frozen-Bubble will look for a game server on the local network with a UDP broadcast, connect to it if found, or start a new game server if not found.
If your computer is connected to Internet, you can choose NET GAME to play against others on Earth (or beyond?). Frozen-Bubble will retrieve the server list from the master server and propose you to choose between available servers. The flag in front of a server indicates the preferred language for chatting with others before the game is started. The ping is the roundtrip when talking with the server, choose a low ping when possible.
