Genea Crystal
GeneaCrystal is a variant of the arcade game Puzzle Bobbleplayable on large multi-touch tabletops. In the original gamea player tries to destroy rows of colored bubbles at the topof the screen. To do so he can shoot bubbles with a cannonpositioned at the bottom of the screen. Bubbles are only de-stroyed if more than three of the same color bump together.The adaption for tabletops enables possibilities like directcommunication or interaction with the opponents. It is alsopossible to introduce new twists: interaction with bubblesthat have been shot but are still moving or the introductionof items the players can interact with.
