Is Foamstars Any Good?

Many gamers have been asking: "Is this game any good?" Unfortunately, early impressions suggest that the answer is a resounding no. For more detailed insight, you can check out our comprehensive review.

The Big Question: Where Does the Foam Come From?

But the real question on everyone's lips is: Where does the foam in Foamstars come from? Before the game was even launched, there were many comparisons of the foam — used as a projectile in matches — to other, less savory, human bodily fluids.

Unraveling the Foam Mystery

With the game now out, the foam mystery deepens. Is it a bodily fluid produced by the game's protagonists? Or is the story more complicated than that?

The first character players control is Soa, a pop idol and competitor in the Foamsmash tournament. It is revealed that as a young girl, she despised her body for its ability to produce foam. This suggests that foam production is a bodily function, and foam is indeed a bodily fluid in the world of Foamstars.

The Foamstars: Foam Producers

All Foamstars appear to be individuals who can produce and wield foam, using special foam/bubble guns. While Soa is the only character who explicitly mentions producing foam, the game hints that all Foamstars have this unique ability.

Foam or Bubbles?

One detail that continues to baffle is why the substance is referred to as foam. Bubble guns, bubble beasts, bubble energy, and even bubble-themed locations are frequently mentioned. So, is it foam or bubbles?

Force Foam: A New Form of Energy?

The term "Force Foam" is described as "a diluted form of bubble energy that pervades our lives, enhanced for maximum aeration and fun." This suggests that foam comes from bubbles and that scientists have found a way to harness bubble energy and transform it into weapons. Perhaps bubble energy has even mutated some individuals into beings with the power to produce foam.
