As a result, the game is now optimized for iPad and iPad mini as well as iPhone and iPod touch. "Captain Bubblenaut is now a Universal App!" developer Dean Tate notes. "Invade ERF on the iPad, where there's more room to bounce!" The update also includes a simplified swooping system, enhanced menu music, support for playing alternate music in the background, and various bug fixes. In addition, it adds support for iOS 6 to Captain Bubblenaut, which was previously compatible with iOS 7 only. The new universal version of Captain Bubblenaut is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $1.99 download. Captain Bubblenaut received an AppAdvice Game of the Week honorable mention shortly after its release last September. For more information on the game, check out our original "hidden gem" review.
