Play Soul Bubbles Online

Summary

In Soul Bubbles I become a young shaman apprentice charged with rescuing wandering spirits and guiding them to safety. The only way to protect these fragile beings is to trap them inside delicate bubbles that I can carry across each world.

Using the DS touch screen I blow the bubbles with stylus strokes, while animal masks let me create, merge, split or even burst them at will. These tools let me thread the bubbles through wind currents, dodge fire, slip past spikes and glide over sticky surfaces.

Scattered stardust boosts my end‑of‑level score, and hidden calabash items unlock extra stages, encouraging me to explore every nook. The puzzles feel surprisingly soothing, as if the DS was built for this kind of quiet concentration.

Critics praised the game’s calm atmosphere and inventive design, earning it nominations for Best Puzzle Game and Most Innovative Design at the IGN DS awards. It even slipped onto Gamasutra’s list of overlooked gems in 2008.

Storyline

In Soul Bubbles for the Nintendo DS, you step into the role of a young shaman apprentice tasked with looking after wandering souls. Using the stylus you draw protective bubbles that shield the spirits as you guide them through each stage.

The game spans eight distinct worlds and a total of 40 levels. To clear a level you must usher every spirit to the glowing Gateway Cube, where they can finally rest, while also gathering stardust and the mysterious Calabash items.
