Short Review
Sky Bubbles Deluxe is one of my favorite of this genre. With two modes of play Adventure and Single Game. The single game is further divided into four different games, Swap, Action Swap, Lines and Action Lines, The usual game rules apply to this type of game, that is make a row or line of three or more of the same colored balls. The nice thing about this particular version of the game is that by progressing to the next level you unlock upgrades to the power ups that are available.
This reminds me a lot of Treasures of Montezuma except for the graphics, which are not quite as good, though the game play is just about the same. To progress to the next level you have to free a specific number of souls trapped within the semi translucent colored spheres. If you fail to do so you lose a life and do not progress to the next level, which can be even harder until (like Treasures of Montezuma) you have earned the right number and types of power up. Thankfully you do get a generous number of lives, and you can earn lives during the game.
There’s an excellent help menu and you can select to have a tutorial running that pops up whenever there’s a new choice to be made. When I first played this game I was as hooked on it as I am with Treasures of Montezuma now, but I gave up on it as it seemed harder than Treasures of Montezuma; that was playing it in the campaign mode. Thankfully there is a single game mode, which there isn’t with Treasures of Montezuma.
I go into hospital in a few hours (thankfully only as a day case), so have not taken any screen captures, however you can see what the game looks like by following the link to the Googled images below

Conclusion
I give this 8 out of 10 despite giving up on it months ago, although I have played it recently. It has all the elements that the Treasures of Montezuma has, which for me at least makes this a must have game in your library. It’s much more challenging than the average match three games.
The game giveaway page has been closed for more than several hours so the giveaway at this moment in time isn’t available. I bought this so was able to post this short review.
