Bliss Island
Bliss Island is an action-puzzler where you play a character called Hoshi (a Zwooph), who using blasts of air from his trunk, can juggle or manipulate other objects or himself. The game consists of a collection of mini-games, which can either be played individually (with the aim being to get a high score) or through the adventure mode (where you play each one in order, only progressing to the next one once you've achieved a goal/high enough score). The mini-games consist of tasks such as: - Smashing invader-style blocks as they march down the screen, by moving Hoshi into them. This is done by blasting pulses of air from Hoshi, which then makes him move. - Blowing fruit balls into other objects (such as flower bumpers) so that they ricochet around the screen and into a monster's mouth, similar to Pachinko machines in arcades. - A trick shot billiards game, where you fire Hoshi into the balls on the table, trying to pot them all within a certain number of air pulses. - Bee Racing, where using similar controls to Hoshi, you race against AI Bees around a track (whilst avoiding obstacles such as rocks and snails) ... and various other mini-games that follow the theme of ricocheting balls off-targets / into holes either within a time limit or to achieve a goal (such as to clear bugs off a flower, to hit another ball off the same color, to pick up stars, etc.).
