Puzzle Bobble is a Flash port of the first game in the Puzzle Bobble series (known in the U.S. and some European countries as "Bust-a-Move"). The goal is to clear each level, by creating same-color matches of three or more before the stage comes crashing down on you.
How to Play
To start the game, simply press Enter and the game begins immediately. Alternatively, you may also click on the flashing "Press 1P start button" message.
Playing the game is fairly simple. At the top of the screen are several clusters of bubbles and each one is a different color. Their order varies from compact and cluttered to hanging close to the bottom of the screen. Move your arrow to aim and fire the bubbles given to you into the clusters. To pop the clusters you need at least three of the same color. The more you pop the more points you will receive and if you can cause bubbles of the opposite color to drop with the popped bubbles you will get more.
However, you are on a timed schedule. You are given a few seconds to launch your bubble in the direction you want or the game will automatically do it for you. (This is signified by the little dino near the pointer saying "Hurry Up!") After each group of several shots, the ceiling gets lower, and brings the bubbles closer to you. If at any time a bubble crosses the line on the bottom of the stage, you will lose a life and start the stage over. You have three lives and once you've lost three times the game is over and your score is automatically submitted.
