Bubble Bobble lands on Android: the return of a historical game

Who among us has never played Bubble Bobble , or one of its countless variations, at least once in their life?

The arcade classic that inspired the puzzle games of the 90s and 2000s has now turned 34, and undoubtedly it was one of the most important titles ever for the software house Taito.

Bubble Bobble: what it will look like on Android

Aware of the “nostalgia factor” that a game like Bubble Bobble can generate, the developers of Mobirix have decided to give life to a mobile version of the arcade, specifically designed for Android and available at this link https://play.google.com /store/apps/details?id=com.mobirix.jp.bubblebobble1 , to which you can pre-register pending the official download of the app.

The first screenshots and the short videos attached by Mobirix show us a virtually unchanged gameplay compared to the original version of the PC game, simulated on smartphones with good attention to detail. We will be able to run on the game platform while we capture the enemies in colored bubbles, collecting the classic power ups and above all the bubbles marked with the letters “EXTEND”, which allow a jump forward of a good number of game levels.

Clearly, we will have to finish the levels in a reasonable period of time, otherwise new enemies will materialize, more complicated to avoid. Once the main adventure is over, we will even be able to immerse ourselves in an alternative mode of which, however, little is revealed at the moment, even if it could be the sequel to Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands.

In conclusion, we can prepare to relive the story of an arcade classic that has become a regular presence of vintage cabinets, now finally available on our smartphones. Anyone who does not have an Android device must not despair: the iOS version of the title will arrive shortly after the debut of the one dedicated to the green robot, which will possibly take place within the summer.
