cool
I'm glad that you improved the game, i knew that something was missing in
bubble 1 ^_^ but i've never thought that it's possible to put that many amazing effects into such a simple game (yeah simple, that's why i've given only 9).
the fx are lovely =) if you would put some of them into a arkanoid like game, or, regarding two player games, into a pong game, it would be wonderful and add a great refreshing clone to the old dusty genre. you could put them in tetris even.
i found it nice that you did not only put "useful" itmes into the game, let's take noir for example. the game itself does not differ much form the first part, as far as i can remember
very good job
greetings
