- ahill7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26I agree, very addictive game. Beats the pants off that damn Snood that my roommates play. Can't wait till its ported to Win32 binaries. Dugg.
- lawmaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25First game on Linux I played. Wonderful, addictive... perfect. Downloading immediately.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21...you mean Bust-a-Move?
- shakin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20You should digg down your college.
How cool would it be if life worked like digg? - jasepower, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19autodigg for frozen bubble.
- coredump0x01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19There's this great new tool out now, It's called Google. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=linux+games&btnG=Google+Search

- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15This is almost worth installing Linux for. ***** it, I'm getting my live disc.
- Waterrat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9 I hope it's in 3D and they add a close game button.
:) - jacobmp92, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Because it's an awesome game.
- arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12There is a thing called sarcasm too! ='(
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9why? I love playing this game on my 300mhz laptop. It also runs on my iriver h320 mp3 player with rockbox. Why would you want to take that away just to make it shiny?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9that game is awesome. Play it.
- goatrandy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8 I tried to convinve one of my coworkers to switch to Linux for over a year, and he kept giving me that 'But The Games!' crap. So I hunted down the best games for Linux, and came up with Frozen Bubble, and TuxRacer.
I won! He's been a faithful user ever since, although I now have to help him with those 'How do I set up a mail server?' questions.
I usually just give him the 'How many hundreds of pages would you like that answer to be?' response. :) - youngcable, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7just curious, what college do you goto?
- Aupajo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"No the 2.0.0 version is not yet ported to Windows or Mac OSX. Ideal time to switch to Linux!"
lol - NotalesS, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I LOVE THIS GAME!!! ever since i found out about Linux and ran my first distro of Knoppix HAHA
- mistshadow2k4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Your wish is my command:
Java-dependent version: http://glenn.sanson.free.fr/fb/
Win32 port: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93046
Enhanced frozen bubbles windows port: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbe-win32/
Sorry, I only grant one wish per day. - deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble. That's why.
- brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Gotta give props to Neverball and Tremulous as excellent Linux games. (both also run in Windoze)
- vertigoblue, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6you mean puzzle bobble
- t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Time to take a look myself, and see if I can get it to run on OS X :)
Upside is it's SDL/Perl, both of which do run on OS X easily. - rinkjustice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3For ubuntu/kubuntu users, type:
sudo apt-get install frozen-bubble
in the terminal console. It's that easy. - V1ncent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wonder how many Windows and Mac users are switching to Linux right now because the best game out there Frozen Bobble 2 is out only for Linux. Woot! Woot!
- ggko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not version 2, but...
http://fb-win32.sourceforge.net/
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/cards_puzzle/frozenbubble.html - djekz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is in the debian unstable repositories
You can add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ unstable main
then
apt-get update;apt-get install frozen-bubble
Make sure to remove that sources.list entry when you're done - iseebluuue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1but does that install 2.0 or the previous version? it looks like it's still the older viersion.
- deaxes, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8I love frozen bubble, but unless it's on windows, I can't digg. I fell in love with it while experimenting with linux (still want to do more, but damn college doesn't allow anything but windows - even macs aren't allowed) and windows is the only OS I have with me at this time
- BlindIrishman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I love this game and its music but I'm not liking the 3d implementations, makes it look too busy (especially the new background), but that's just me.
- DTJunkie07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Frozen Bubble a.k.a. the only thing I did in computer class during high school lol
- darklord5907, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Always willing to Digg a 3rd party game. These games will rule the market some day, or at least rule for people who are on a budget. Anyways, I don't like this type of game, but I'm always willing to help out, even if I am just 1 digit in that 3 digit number.
- iseebluuue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why isn't anyone ever on the network play servers?
- adinb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Time to fire up finkcommander (OS X) and see if anyone ported it... :)
- phill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The game looks great and all, but what does it do? Their web site doesn't say anything about the actual game play. (I'm on a Mac, so I can't play it to find out.)
- ggko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you've ever played the game Puzzle Bobble, aka Bust a Move (or Puzzle de Pon or Snood, as both based on PB/BaM,) Frozen Bubble is an OSS version of it.
Play version 1.0.0e in the meantime.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/cards_puzzle/frozenbubble.html - juraj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Did anyone manage to compile it? It gives me an error about fb-server.
- byte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I generally don't play games.
But I play Frozen Bubble.
Because it's so fun, and addictive.
-- /usr/bin/byte - ggko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Find yourself a Neo Geo Pocket and Puzzle Bobble Mini. That version is pretty liberal with the gaps you can squeeze bubbles into, cases that would *never* happen in the original.
- ggko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Snood takes a slightly different approach towards gameplay, it focuses more on large drops than just clearing the screen. Either way, them Snoods are friggin ugly.
- micahbell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am disappointed by this update.
As far as I can tell, you can no longer turn off the sound, and they still haven't added in a pause button, which was one of my main complaints.
Looks like I have to re-download the old version. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1sweet i love frozen bubble ( im a major fan of puzzle bobble and bust a move)
- ggko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No urgent need to, considering mistshadow2k4 and I posted links to Windows and OS X ports of the (version 1) game.
- nicnic77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Quite good fun..
- volcompimp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1OMG I LOVE Bust A Move/Bubble Bobble!!!!
I need to reinstall Ubuntu on my fileserver box badly since I switched out the motherboard I was using b4 and it stopped working because all my mp3's are located on an XFS partition (can't get to it from XP). I'll definitely be installing frozen bubbble! - pixelguru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I can't help but compare it to Snood... it's basically the same game concept with some more modern graphics.
Snood's pixels have always needed some help... I remember using ResEdit to hack my own re-designed sprites and backgrounds into the game back in 1998.
I much prefer Snood's playability though. Bubble makes is too difficult to squeeze a shot into gaps, and the levels are relatively uninspired. Snood also has indestructible skulls... and I like skulls.
I'd love to see (and play) Snood's engine with Bubble's eye candy. - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Teaser video (rendered): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb7ws_frozenteaser320x240
- madcrasher, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I'm almost tempted to undigg because the guy is so anti-anything-but-linux, but the game's still cool.
And I would pop in my Ubuntu livecd, but it doesn't look like there's a PPC binary there. - 4zumanga, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Personally I'm digging down. I don't mind someone being inspired to bring bust-a-move/puzzle bobble to the open source world, but you would think somewhere on their whole website they would mention that. They make it seem like they invented the whole idea, which seems a bit lame.
- alej744, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2It works on Mac and Windows... oh wait
- avolant, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0horray democracy!!
