Alien Bubbles is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is shooting, puzzle and music & rhythm. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Alien Bubbles
Alien bubbles is widely inspired by classic games like puzzle bubble. Shoot the arrows at the right moment and hit the aliens of the same color of your arrow. Use the special arrows to deal more damage, but use them wisely, because the number of the special arrows is limited! Beat all the levels and save the world!

Why it is worth playing
The reason Alien Bubbles holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — shooting — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
