Story

Puzzle Bobble (AKA Bust-A-Move) is an addictive puzzle game that plays like a mix of the original Bubble Bobble and Tetris. You help Bub and Bob aim as they shoot bubbles to the top of the screen in order to match colors. You have to complete puzzles as the screen gets progressivly smaller, making each shot count more and more as time goes on. The first few levels are easy, but this game's difficulty ramps up quickly.

Tips & Strategies

For the most points, try to knock clusters of bubbles down instead of merely popping them.

On rounds 9 and 13, it is possible to earn bonuses of a million points.

Enemies from Bubble Bobble can be seen trapped in certain bubbles.
