There is very little which is original in SuperBub. The game mechanics are basically Sega's Baku Baku upside-down with a hint of Bust-a-Move. When writing SuperBub, I was specifically creating something which I thought would go down well on OPM. I set myself the brief that it should be an addictive, 1 or 2 player game, yet easy to program. So I ripped off one of the most addictive and simple 2 player games I've ever played. I'm sorry if I offended you with my previous posts - I just got the impression that you couldn't be bothered with putting the required effort into creating a game to the standards which you had set yourself, and were blaming others for your lack of effort. I wish you all the best with your game, and look forward to playing it. Herbs
