When I'm playing through the game, I came to believe that the bubbles you drop are of set color. However, when you continue, bubble color changes. Can anyone confirm this?
On a side note, has anyone 1cc'd it? I've come close with a 4cc, with three stupid deaths. Also, has anyone figured out the patterns for the final few levels? They're either extremely hard with no discernable pattern, or extremely easy with no pattern needed.
Edit: Duh. I did the logical thing and played the first level over again, and the colors are indeed of a set order.
Is Uo Poko random?
Yes, zlk for instance has completed it.
Almost all later stages are about specific "skill shots" (i.e. shoot at the key ball that will cause a chain reaction etc etc), and if you fail them, there's no much hope for cleaning the stage...a bit on the cheap side. I think that, like puzzle bobble, the colours (of the balls you have to throw) are cyclic, in the sense that every second the colour will change and rotate along a given order (example: red, green, blue...if you throw a red ball after waiting two seconds, you will get a blue one). Never tried out this theory though
