Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Bubbly is not new. After launching with a highly successful bovine floating campaign in 2012, the chocolate quickly became a firm fan favourite. What is new, however, is ‘Friends in a Fishtank’. Cadbury’s very first venture into the realm of video games.

Cadbury is most well known for allowing consumers to float away from the stresses of life with just a little bubble, or three, of sweet sugary ecstasy. As such, it was a very pleasant surprise to learn that the South African arm of the British confectionary maker has delved into video game development for its latest advertising campaign.

Titled ‘Friends in a Fishtank‘, Cadbury’s game is a surprisingly good and fun way to kill spare time. The game essentially follows the life of a puffer fish named ‘Puffy’ (that is the name the Vamers Crew gave him) whose sole purpose in life is to reach the delicious bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly at his journey’s end.

Since Puffy no doubt eats Bubbly, he is prone to floating. As such, players must keep Puffy from floating away. This is done by tapping the screen/clicking the mouse repetitively, causing Puffy to beat his tiny little fins. The gameplay mechanic is a derivative of the infamous ‘Flappy Bird’, and is therefore simple enough for anyone to pick up and play.

Just like real life, Puffy has his work cut out for him if he wants to reach his goal. The game is filled with hazards like explosive mines, pincer happy crabs, ugly-cry stinging jellyfish and chocolate-less bubbles of air. It is your job to keep Puffy alive long enough to reach his own bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly.

Interestingly, ‘Friends in a Fishtank‘ even has a bit of an online mode. So you can challenge your friends, no matter where they are in the world. Playing online is simple. One player acts as the host, and then simply distributes the uniquely generated game code to the other players. Voila. You and your friends can now journey together towards the centre of the universe delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly.

Although the game can be played online, the Vamers Crew decided to play the game the old fashioned way, together and in teams. To make things even more interesting, we did so blindfolded. You should definitely check out our antics in the YouTube video embedded further below… especially if you are interesting in winning a R1000 voucher from Raru.
