One of those under-the-radar titles that we can't stop thinking about is Soul Bubbles, which is why we've been giving it a lot of coverage. Not only does this LocoRoco-meets-LostWinds title look whimsical and wonderful, but the gameplay seems to offer simple, clean fun. At the same time, though, there's clearly a lot of depth behind this software.
Yet, there's no better way to learn about a game than hearing things straight from the developers' mouths, so we recommend giving this video a look. In their fabulous French accents, the devs dish on the premise and gameplay of the upcoming title. For instance, we already knew about the Tiger Mask ability, but the Mekensleep crew shows the other masks in action, too.
You'll also get to see some of the different levels throughout the game, all of which have their own fanciful themes, as well as the enemies and inhabitants of each world. Oh, and did we mention that the look of Soul Bubbles is absolutely gorgeous? If it plays just half as good as it looks, we're definitely in for a treat.

This game is going to be amazing. I thought at first that knowing the order and content of each world ahead of time was going to ruin the game for me, but it's just made me that much more excited for its release!

I'm still on it like a bonnet. The art style really is love. Wonder who the character was at the end of the video. The pencil sketch that wasn't the main bubble-blowy guy.

"The first world is in Africa, where the spirits fight back."
"The sixth world is in Asia, and, again, it's a more brainy world."
Not sure if those comments were intentional, but hey, the game looks great. I was thinking it was another Bubble Bobble type game, but it actually looks very fun and unique.

haha, I didn't catch that!
the FIFTH world is africa though. I don't get the "spirits fight back" line.
The Asia world has lots of puzzles, so that's what he meant by brainy I guess. Again, I didn't catch that phrase.
