The Gay Gamer Giveaway™: Drop Wizard Edition

Late last week, the folks at Neuronized offered me a free code for their just-released (on Jan. 8) single-screen platformer, Drop Wizard. (A game I previously discussed in this post.)

I had to turn them down, though, because I currently don't own any sort of iOS-enabled device. (At the moment, Drop Wizard is playable only on iPhones and iPads.)

Knowing that at least a few of you lovely people must own such gadgets, I quickly followed up that denial with a suggestion that I could pass along the code--as well as a couple of others, perhaps--to some of my blog's readers.



They liked the idea, so today I'm offering up three free codes for the company's lovely looking game (see trailer above), which apparently features more than 60 levels of Bubble Bobble-ish goodness.

Speaking of that Taito-made classic, if you'd like to nab one of these Drop Wizard codes, leave a comment below between now and 8 am Pacific time on Saturday morning that includes the name of your all-time favorite Bubble Bobble clone. (I'll announce the winners in a separate post later that same weekend.)

In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed in the hope that the powers that be at Neuronized eventually decide to bring this game to the Nintendo eShops, the PlayStation Store and Steam.

  2. Oh, I'm sure they would! Do you have a favorite Bubble Bobble clone, though? Even saying "Bubble Bobble" is fine by me :)

  6. Huh! I'm not sure I'd consider Puzzle Bubble a Bubble Bobble clone, Bodo, but I'll take that answer anyway. Good luck!

    Snow Bros is a personal favorite. I'll pass on the prize, though... I'm an Android man for life!

  8. Hey, maybe it'll come to Android eventually, too, Jess. Who knows? Thanks for the comment anyway. I'm a big fan of Snow Bros., too, of course ^^

    It does look awesome I must admit, but it still won't make me conform :P

  10. I want to join! My favorite is probably more of a Snow Bros. clone but it's similar enough–Nightmare In The Dark for the Neo Geo. If you haven't seen it, the hero is an ugly cloaked gravekeeper who throws flaming lanterns at invading mummies/skeletons etc. Great soundtrack too.

  11. Okay, so please take Parasol Stars instead.

    Oh, and my favorite Bubble Bobble Clone? Most definitely Snow Bros.

  13. You didn't have to do that, Bodo! I was just teasing :) Anyway, it's always good to hear from another Parasol Stars fan.

  14. Ha! Well, hopefully it'll eventually be released for whichever mobile OS you're currently a fan of, Simon :)

  15. Oh, I've heard of it, Jeremy! I don't know if I've ever played it, though, sadly. Anyway, the Neo Geo had a number of nice Bubble Bobble clones, didn't it? (Also, consider yourself entered into this contest!)

  16. Interesting! I'm honestly shocked so many people here have mentioned Snow Bros.
