Community Insight:
Bubble Bobble has always been our forever childhood game from the NES nostalgia Nintendo era. This app bring it all back! We love it! We recommend for even more of a pleasant game play, adding the ability to add a controller. The touchscreen D-pad doesnt work as good as a regular controller. Keep up the great work.
Yes, we very enjoy thus game, great and awesome.
So happy we can play it on our phone its the best.
We miss playing this game. When we found that apple had it we had to quickly download. Oh the memories it brings back from our childhood. Its a classic.
This is such a good game! We dont know how you pulled this off, but it is incredible! We would consider changing the movement controls to just be 2 big left and right buttons, but we guess the slider controls are fine.
Could be better if there was a way to save progress.
We used to play this game back in the 90s! To see it and hear the music is awesome! Definitely brought back memories.
Add the Pink candy to the power mode, Make the free diamond countdown 2 minutes and make the reward increased to 50,000 Diamonds. And make the revives and power mode free! Please.
This game takes us back to our childhood when we would spend hours on end with just $1. As we went through the stages we kept recalling back 30 years on how we would beat the stage and we are getting so much joy out of this. Whoever put this up. Thanks a million.
We used to play this with our sister idk how many years ago probably 4 but we loved it so much also its a little hard but thats what makes it fun Thank you for recreating this game.
1988 Los Angeles CA. John Adams Junior high, there was a liquor store that had the arcade across the street from the school, and it was very hard to play, there was always a line, when we mean line was all those quarters that they put on the screen that way youll be next, so one time we ditched school just because we knew nobody would be playing Bubble Bobble, we played all our pocket money we had, got caught ditching, but well worth it. Bubble Bobble one of our all time favorites.
Game would be perfect if controller support were added in our opinion.
We were so happy to find the app of this classic game we used to play in the neighborhood arcade.You will be entertained for hours everyday playing BUBBLE BOBBLE.
Very much like original. Controls take a bit of time to get used to. Still fun and challenging.
Awesome game used to play it when we were 8yrs old now 45yrs old and still enjoying now on our phone.
Hello everyone! Im making this review to say there are a TON of bubble bobbles on the switch and if you have Nintendo Switch online, you can buy the original NES controllers. We know we might be getting people to not get this app,but people who REAAAAAALLY dont like this app, we recommend playing bubble bobble on the switch. All of this is true and Im not lying whatsoever.
So we played Bubble Bobble on NES when we were younger and we loved the game. We were ecstatic to see it was available on mobile. The game plays well, the ads are not bothersome, the music and sprites are nostalgic, colors are bright but the controls can be a bit tough to use. Sometimes we have to tap the jump button twice just to jump once but its not completely broken. And the auto fire can be toggled on or off in order to make gameplay a bit easier. Other than that, we have no complaints. Kinda wish we can at least choose what little dragon we can play as. We love the little blue one.
We tried to play the game but it showed black we dont know why it did that so please fix it.
Glad to know Im not the only one nostalgic about this. We played this with our twinsy when we were kids and it was always teamwork! So this needs to have that same capability pleaseeeeeee.
Maybe fix the jump and move way of playing its a lil hard to use love this game tho thanks.
Its good and all but the enemies are a little too fast.
Love this game since we were a kid. It would be better to have one button (to make bubbles) on one side and the other button (to jump) on the other side. Having the two commands on the same side, make it difficult to play on the cell phone.
We used to play this on our ti-84plus back in school. Brought back fun times.
We thought this was gonna be one of those unlicensed ports but no, Taito actually granted you the license. The remaster itself is not bad too although the bubble shoot sound and second item pickup sound are swapped, the death sound sounds kind of off, and the sounds of picking up an item overlap each other. Now to the part that makes us thought it was unlicensed, the presentation makes it look like some bootlegger took the arcade rom and put it on a crappy emulator, Ive seen your other apps aside from the licensed ports, are nothing more than bootlegs of other games such as Angry Birds, the diamond mechanic is kind of useless, the word diamond isnt finished when we collect our 1 hour 30 diamonds, the description on the AppStore page has many grammatical errors (although it could be translated from Korean, albeit poorly translated) and we have no clue where the multiplayer option was, the one thing bubble bobble was made for. Other than that, the game is just like the arcade version.
It has no gamepad support if that gets changed we will redownload it and give it 5 stars.
Your ads are so out of control they are blocking the playing field. Game looks great plays like the original but the ads in the way killed it.
We always used to play this game back then and playing it now brings back lots of memories. We finally beat the game after over 20 years.
Brings back memories of spending hours in our neighborhoods corner store, playing this game with friends for hours. No time for getting in trouble because of games like this.
To the skate deck to go spend all the allowance every weekend but this game is one of the all time favorites.
Best arcade game in the history of the universe.
God we love this game so much, used to play it religiously. So much fun going through all the levels again, using all the different items, ect. However, the ads can get really annoying really fast, so if there could be a way to like purchase no ads that would be great. The rewards button also doesnt work for us, but we could do without it, just curious.
We love this game! It reminds us so much of our childhood when we would play for hour with our mom. The sounds, the maps everything.
Just like the 80s game only harder cause of the touch controls.
We remember playing this with our brother on the old Commodore 64, its exactly the same.awesome.
So, our mom told us about this game and we asked her if we can try it out and download it. Its the cutest best game ever, we love the little dinosaur, and we really enjoy the music too.
Bubble Bobble is a very Classic game! Please make it compatible, we would love for our kids to experience with the Backbone they are ALWAYS gaming.
We use to line up outside the liquor store just to get in After you made it in, still had to wait till who ever was playing had no more quarters left Spend our allowance there every weekend $10 to $20 bucks Good ol memories.
We enjoy playing Bubble Bobble so much, but every time we start playing, those annoying ads show up. And whenever and enter the shop, there is no option to remove the ads. So is it possible if you can update the app so we can be able to remove ads? If you get this message, please let us know when its ready. Thank you.
Oh our gosh! This game brings back more memories than we can think of! We totally recommend this.
Had'nt played bubble bobble since 25 years ago. It still is super fun to replay.
We love it and its like the old levels.
Love that you brought this back! Only suggestion is to make the jump and bubble buttons a little further apart.
Well, kinda. Our wife and we really got into this game on a game console. We beat the whole thing. Took some time, but we had tons of fun along the way. Only thing that would make it better is if it could somehow be two-player.
This is an excellent remake of the original Bubble Bobble. Theres one big improvement, auto fire. However there are two problems that need to be fixed: First and most important, it is basically impossible to bounce your way out of a tight space. Im the original you could simultaneously blow a bubble and jump, landing on it and bouncing higher. In this version, if you are facing a wall that is impossible. This is critical to beating certain levels, especially those later in the game. Second, when the player dies, it should reset the red, angry enemies and Baron von Blubba should disappear.
We would gladly pay to remove ads. Game is awesome but Ads are annoying.
Please add iOS controller support.
We have good memories (we think) of playing this game! Our one complaint is how quickly one has to face Game Over! We wish it would sustain life more than just two hits. Controls are a little difficult but not more than what is expected on a conversion from NES to iPhone app.
Would be great if you could get gems or it didnt cost so much to revive life. Would be nice to finish it.
We wish the jum and the bubbles could be switch like the real game.
We wish we could do two player. We love playing this with our wife.
