Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This nifty screensaver earns our kudos on a number of fronts. After a lightning-fast installation, you'll be prompted to choose from a number of background scenes over which the bubbles will dart to and fro. Your choices include themes, such as Jungle, Desert, and Spring, but no matter which you pick, you'll likely enjoy the polished graphics and realistic reflections through the transparent bubbles. If you can't decide between the backgrounds, you can have the program cycle through the list at random. Bubbloids lets you determine how many bubbles appear onscreen, how big they are, and how fast they cruise around your display. Best of all, this screensaver is totally free and doesn't install any invasive third-party applications on your computer. Any user looking for an entertaining screensaver should spend a little time with Bubbloids.Publisher's description
From Onwijs :The Bubbloid screensaver features a collection of 3D-rendered images with bubbles floating gently over them. You can set the number and size of the bubbles. Choose a background from the included collection, or load one of your own images.
New features in version 1.1 include password protection and adjustable speeds. Version 1.2 adds the option to cycle through the images.

"Quite interesting and different"
Pros: Changes the look of your screensaver with various sizeable bubbles that bounce around your screen. Quite customizeable and you can use your existing desktop picture or one of the supplied screensavers.
Cons: Would like to be able to re-size the bubbles even larger than 100% to cover most of the screen .
And as a quick note: whoever has nothing better to do than read peoples reviews and give them "not helpful" votes just because you are mad or jealous or jobless or just plain mean, and probably have never even tried ANY of the programs all of us that do reviews download and try to help all the people that really want and honest opinion,you are being watched and tracked....think before you submit a false entry!!

"Easy I especially like the desktop background feature."
Pros: Great to make a cool background, especially when you can put the bubbles on your desktop, with realistic magnification, and completely free with no prompts to buy!

"VERY VERY COOL SCREEN SAVER!!!"
Pros: This is one of the better screen savers I have in my collection. I say this because the bubbles are configurable (number of, size & speed), you can choose your own picture of any thing you want, or (and this to me is the cool part) you can use your desktop pic as the background! It hides your icons and such and just uses the picture from your desktop! How cool is that?!!!
It's a nice change from the run of the mil types. Nothing offensive, all family quality. For the familys with kids, and kids alike, you should check out their web site for more. It's a Dutch site geared towards children & learning. All their other scnsvrs are for the little ones in us all. Perfect for you folks that have todlers with PC's or an account on yours. (Big kids like me can enjoy them too.)
Background pics that come with it can each be choosen or used with the random setting. 'Stones' and 'Spring' are two of my favorites. Jungle looks more like a close up of two wooly worms to me, but it's nice all the same.
They're all 2D, but who cares! It's a screen saver! I installed it nice and quick on my Windows XP system without a problem. Runs just fine! If you like scnsvrs (heck, even if ya don't) you should dwnld this one! Kids will love it too! Bubbles bounce off of each other and the edges of the screen. Nice effect as they pass over the picture. Try it! You'll like it!
