Wake Up Little Kodama

I recently had the opportunity to play Wake Up Little Kodama and it’s a surprisingly good little puzzle with an addictive quality. The aim is to pop bubbles to rouse these sleeping spirits, and as straightforward as that sounds, there’s a satisfying pop when you clear those like-colored bubbles. Can’t let ‘em drop though, or it’s game over and it gets complicated real quick.

Chatting with a handful of others online who’ve also played it, it’s really a matter of climbing that leaderboard. There may be some question of where your high score places you, but that’s what brings you back, right? I mean, you’ve got to top your own best.

The graphics and sound are spot-on, combining to create a chill, yet engaging atmosphere. And no competition with the kids, either. It’s laid enough for them but still keeps me busy. For a gentle game break or a quick bubble-popping round, Wake Up Little Kodama works. And if you’re raring to play another fun game after, try bubble shooter pro. Hits the same sweet spot.
