Most importantly, Bust-A-Move 4's versus engine is now equipped with the "chain reaction" system. Other notable twists include antigravity blocks, which tug dropped bubbles back up to the cluster - you'll want to avoid them if possible.
The goal is to get rid of all the bubbles without having one side or the other hit the bottom.Īs with most puzzle games, Bust-A-Move 4 starts off tame but soon rears its rather difficult head. A pulley consists of two bubble-laden anchor blocks attached to a rope popping bubbles attached to each anchor block will cause the heavier side to fall and the lighter side to rise. Pulleys, for instance, add a new dimension of lovable frustration.
New devices such as pulleys and antigravity blocks have also been added to the puzzle mode and make the single-player experience much more compelling. Similar to versus modes in other puzzle games, each character has its own strengths and weaknesses based on the type of bubble pattern the character uses to beset opponents. Returning to the kaleidoscopic spectacle are old-timers Bub and Bob, along with nine totally new characters.

#BUST A MOVE 4 PS1 CASE SERIES#
Since the biggest draw of the Bust-A-Move series has always been the multiplayer aspect, it's good to know that Taito has kept this portion essentially unchanged from previous installments. In two-player mode, the game stacks up against the best Puzzle Fighter battles out there with both players clamoring to send patterned attacks across the screen. There is a total of 640 single-player levels, which includes both the arcade and puzzle mode stages. The object of each stage is to pop all bubbles before the timer reaches zero. When a bubble makes contact with two or more bubbles of the same color, they pop. In single-player mode, you shoot colored bubbles up into clusters of other bubbles. The general premise of Bust-A-Move has remained the same since the game's inception on the Neo Geo back in 1993. Once more, the rotund dragons from Taito's Bubble Bobble series find themselves having to restore the color in their monochrome world and return for another round of manic bubble-bursting mayhem. Fans of the Bust-A-Move puzzle series can look forward to more sleepless months with Natsume's release of Bust-A-Move 4 exclusively for the PlayStation.
