Physics are fancy but otherwise it's old and seen game genre. However I'm going to say it's a good game :)

Really nice game! Graphic effects are really good. Maybe there shold be some special bubble types? For example:
1. one that can be connected with any color.
2. one that does not connect with anything (cannot be destroyed).
3. one with some color (connects normally with other bubbles of the same color) but which has a greater multiplier to the score.
4. one like 2, but with fixed position. It does'nt move anywhere so it blocks other bubbles from moving too.

1. one that can be connected with any color. -- Was in mind ;)
2. one that does not connect with anything (cannot be destroyed). -- Was in mind ;)
3. one with some color (connects normally with other bubbles of the same color) but which has a greater multiplier to the score. -- Bonuses will come ;)
4. one like 2, but with fixed position. It does'nt move anywhere so it blocks other bubbles from moving too. -- Yeah maybe...

Add some setting to options with which you can change amount of colors of bubbles :P Like to have more different colors: purple, pink, orange and so on. Adds up some difficulty!

Really nice! You could try to separate different styles of bubbles also with their shape so it would be faster and easier for the player to make decisions. Main gamemode could use a colorful backround. The music really sucks but nice graphical effects overall :)

It's hard to say, the project is not under active development anymore. It doesn't run too well on my two core 1.6 GHz Atom. But it does run great on my quad core 2.8 GHz i7. You probably know that CoolBasic doesn't use hardware acceleration for rendering and such, so CPU is pretty much doing all the heavy lifting. I'm sorry.
