Encyclopedia
Rainbow Islands Revolution is a game on the Nintendo DS
and PlayStation Portable
. It is an update of the original game, Rainbow Islands. Unlike in the original, the main character, Bub, rides in a bubble, and the player has to guide him with the stylus, and draw rainbows with it as well. Therefore, the game uses mainly the DS's touch screen.
When the player drags the stylus anywhere on the screen that isn't Bub, the player can create a rainbow. The rainbow serves as a barrier through which enemies can't cross. If the rainbow is drawn over an enemy, the enemy is killed. Additionally, when the player taps a rainbow, it falls down removing any enemies that lie below.
The player can also draw some special shapes which create rainbows with special effects.
