Once you win this round you'll get a brief description of your latest rescued friend and the opportunity to view the butterfly up close with rotating views. At the end of every stage you play a round in which you clear a rotating circle of marbles to free a butterfly. The game plays largely like Luxor, except that Boonka doesn't always just go back and forth along the bottom he flies in a semicircular path or may be fixed into position on some boards where he can only pivot on an axis. ![]() You are playing Boonka the beetle who is trying to rescue butterflies from the aphids. Here's a Luxor-style marble popper with a high level of cuteness, a good challenge level, and a little entomology lesson. ![]() Pros: bonus powerups, multiple game modes, butterfly loreĬons: frustration factor, occasional uncatchable powerups Yes, it's a marble popper game at it's core, but with the addition of the uber-polite Boonka and how colorful and fun the game was - well, I was sold! Again, all you fishies should at least try the 1 hr de I bought this game right after finishing the 1 hour demo as I thought the game was such a great idea and executed in such an innovative way. ![]() If anything, this is where some might find irony as you just freed the butterfly and now it's displayed in a sayin'! All in all the game is very colorful and definitely challenging! I usually do mute the sound to a very low level or completely if it interferes with my concentration but I didn't find it obtrusive in this game. There are several strings of beads coming one after the other so that it's almost impossible for me to finish them off all in one go! But I keep playing because I don't want to let Boonka down! If you lose, he hangs his head and shakes it in a very dismal way - sad! Also, when starting to play, Boonka flys out and waves at you in salute.how cute is that? If you do win, the butterfly is released to cheers and clapping and then you are given a brief lesson about that particular species of butterfly and you get to choose how to display it. I really enjoyed playing this game and trying to free the butterflys! I read some of the other reviews and have to disagree with at least one.I really don't know what kind of bug Boonka is, but a militaristic bee? Really? Giving allowance for artistic license, I believe he is a compilation of several bugs! I mean, I've never seen a bee that's completely yellow, with carapace-type wings with a big blue bead on them! Plus - I'm no entemologist, but isn't bug culture inherently what we'd call militaristic? So If violence of any kind is anathema to your delicate sensibilities, stay away from marble popper, brick busting, or any games that have those wonderful, satisfying explosions or destruction!īack to the game.I thought the game was really difficult to win at the higher levels.
