Description
Fourth Puzzle Bobble entry with new special bubbles and an expanded character roster. Puzzle by Taito, released in 1998 in Europe and the United States. Over four hundred puzzles, brand-new anchor and chain bubbles, Story mode with adventure map, two-player versus mode and quirky characters around mascot Bub.
The fourth entry in Taito's puzzle, Bust-A-Move 4 introduces the pulley and linked bubble system that drops whole clusters, adding a real strategic supplement to the Puzzle Bobble formula. The colour matching principle stays clear, and the versus mode gains intensity through the new mechanics. The production remains plain and the evolution measured for series regulars. An excellent puzzler to recommend for fans of snappy thinking and of fierce two player duels.
