The crazy inventor Heinrich Von Schinker is dead. Or so we thought until the nightwatchman told us his fantastic tale of the haunting of Von Schtinker's old castle. Yes it has been confirmed. Heinrichs' sprit (a.k.a. Bubble Ghost) has been blowing a bubble throughout the macarbe halls of his ancestral home. Your job is to help Bubble Ghost move the bubble through the 35 rooms of the castle, past all the mad inventions of Von Schtinker. Once the little ghostie makes it through, the haunting will cease.

Nostalgia But Not Much Else
This review is for the Game Boy version

Bubble Ghost is basically an action puzzle game. You have to blow a bubble through 35 rooms without it popping and each room is timed. Mostly its just a matter of practice making perfect. Learning how fast the bubble moves, how fast you move, etc. The game actually plays more like miniature golf it feels like than a puzzle game (and it's obviously not a golf game) enter image description here
Games like this were great on the go, would take me a while to get the hang of the controls and then a while longer to solve some of the harder 'puzzles.' But Golly, learn the controls I did!

I was able to complete this for the first time using an emulator in about 15 minutes lol. It's really only a few rooms that are that tricky. Being able to see this game on a huge screen is also a big advantage (just wow at moving through the starburst traps)
