Bubble Bobble Plus! is a remake of the arcade game Bubble Bobble. The games were developed by Taito and published by Square Enix.

Gameplay[]

As with the previous games, the player will have to defeat all enemies across a number of screens by trapping them in bubbles and popping them. The normal mode features the original two playable characters, Bub and Bob, while the Arrange Mode adds support for up to 4 players, joined with female characters Peb and Pab, as yellow and pink bubble dragons respectively.

The game contains several playing modes - a remake containing 100 classic stages and a new story mode with 100 new stages, as well as more difficult "Super" versions of those stages.

There are also two downloadable content (DLC) packs, named "Extra 1" and "Extra 2" respectively, that both add 50 "very hard" stages with new boss characters. Just like the main game, the Extra modes can be played with up to 4 players.

Reception[]

Bubble Bobble Plus! received generally positive reviews. N-Europe praised the title, saying it had a wealth of content to enjoy, while the downloadable packs were fairly reasonably priced and offered a significantly ramped up challenge from the standard levels. The review scored the title 8/10. IGN had this to say about the game, "Bubble Bobble is a classic game of adventure and betrayal, but the graphics and gameplay of this version of the game could have easily been done on a PS1." Robert Townslend of Game Informer said, "The whole Bubble Bobble thing has been done a thousand times before, but that doesn't make it any less amazing every time a new one comes out. Smash, bash, bubble fun time to be had."
