I have figured out how to run bubbels on my Windows XP machine as a
standalone, so I don't have to be connected to the web to play it. The
process is somewhat long, but I will post it if enough are interested.

No, no, no - last night after working late I was too tired to do anything
else and tried out the bubbles
and I did manage to kill them all! What a relief that was!! =)

Don't bring them back!!
;P
(after all the bubbles was cleared there was some message that I guess
was
if I wanted to move up one level so clicked and had to try agian of
course,
the bubbles are now advancing somewhat faster ...)

What's a good score? I got a couple of 32K scores.

Thats debatable. If you are aiming to get the highest score, I think in the
100k region is pretty good. However, if you are aiming to finish the game,
one would argue that the lowest score possible is desirable. I don't think
you could finish a game with a score lower than 50k though (I could be wrong
on that)

Yep. If you clear them all, it doubles your score so you get twice what you
were working on.

Still say that every once in a while the one you are getting set to shoot
changes color on you just to mess with your mind.

It would be hard because you rack up points pretty fast when you get down to
three or two colors.

I swear that happens too!! I actually think I look at the one coming up in
the wings and my brain says it's the one I'm shooting but it sure seems like
it changes.

I definitely agree. Green changes to yellow or vice versa.

I cleared them with a final score of 33k+, but I must have been really
lucky, with huge clumps of same-colour bubbles. In the last screen, all
the bubbles were light blue, and I just had to shoot one and sit back
and watch them pop.
