Bubble Bobble is a classic arcade game that was first released in 1986 by Taito. The game features the main character Bubblun, who has the ability to capture enemies with bubbles and defeat them. In this game, players control Bubblun and are able to move left and right on the screen by using the directional buttons. Players can also press the fire and jump buttons to play.
One of the most convenient features of Bubble Bobble is its automatic shot function. Players can fire bubbles with just a single press of the button, which makes it easier to capture enemies. Additionally, players can collect alphabet bubbles (E, X, T, E, N, D) and gain extra lives.
Another feature that adds excitement to the game is the ability to earn additional points. When players defeat all the enemies on a stage, they can collect items such as hamburgers, hot-dogs, sushi, banana, and ice cream, all of which add to the player's score. However, if the player cannot clear all the enemies within a certain time limit, skull monsters will appear and chase the player.
Players can also adjust the screen display to either the original or full-screen aspect ratio in the game settings. After completing the initial stages in normal mode, players can unlock a Super Game mode. The game also supports achievements and leaderboards, which adds another layer of competitiveness and replay value to the game.
Bubble Bobble also features power-up items such as yellow candy, pink candy, blue candy, and red shoes. Yellow candy increases the speed of blowing bubbles, while pink candy increases the range of blowing bubbles. Blue candy increases the flying speed of bubbles, and red shoes increases Bubblun's movement speed.
One unique feature of Bubble Bobble is the special bubbles: water bubbles, fire bubbles, and lightning bubbles. Water bubbles flow downwards to defeat enemies, fire bubbles drop fire and create multiple fires, and lightning bubbles can be blown horizontally to defeat enemies. These special bubbles add an extra challenge to the game and make it even more exciting.
Overall, Bubble Bobble is a classic arcade game that is fun for gamers of all ages. With its automatic shot function, ability to earn extra lives and points, and special bubble abilities, players will have hours of fun trying to clear all the stages and unlock Super Game mode.
