I am old enough to have played Super Breakout on Atari, when the game was brand new. All Bubble Pop games, including this one, are all based off of Super Breakout. This particular version of Bubble Pop, is intentionally handicapping to the player. One is 'forced' to use power ups in order to win a board, versus earning a win by merit. Also, there is a highly inconsistent scoring model for all boards. Unistalled because of the handicapping against the user and inconsistent scoring model!
