GameHouse fires up multiplayer match-three game Bubble Bunch for iPad

RealNetworks' game division GameHouse seems to have a thing for round objects.

A couple of months ago, it released Marble Mixer in which you and up to three friends, or artificial intelligence opponents, fought it out, flicking marbles to score points.

There's a similar thing going on in Bubble Bunch for iPad. It's another multiplayer focused title, only this time the concept is based around Bubble Bobble's match-three gameplay.

There are three modes. In Aquarium, you're playing in an underwater world to see who can create the most groups of three or more like-coloured bubbles.

In Rogue Drone, the sci-fi setting sees a villainous droid firing back at you, while Domination's winner will be the player who can exert colour supremacy across the globe.

In each mode, your options include using explosive power-ups or bouncing shots off the wall for strategic placement.

Currently available for iPad, but coming to iPhone in three weeks, Bubble Bunch for iPad costs $1.99, €1.59 or £1.19.
