Bust-A-Move is the game for SNES that was published by Taito America Corporation in 1995.
Gameplay
The goal is the same as in the game Puzzle Bobble. You should to shoot your colored Bubble so that it touches a group of two or more Bubbles of the same color. This causes that group to break. Once you eliminate all the Bubbles on the screen, the Round is clear. There are a total 100 Rounds in "1P PUZZLE MODE".
Items In addition to the eight colored Bubbles, there are special Bubbles that will come in handy throughout the game.
THUNDER BUBBLE - This Bubble shots Thunder horizontally from where it lands and breaks out the Bubbles in its path.
FLAME BUBBLE - The Flame Bubble breaks all groups of Bubbles that are the same color as the ones it touches.
WATER BUBBLE - The Water Bubble breaks individual Bubbles of the same color around the area in which it lands.
Despite the main mechanics of the game is the same as in the game Puzzle Bobble it has interesting and innovative features. One of them is Unlimited time mode.
Unlimited time mode
The game Bust-A-Move has an unlimited time mode. Menu option for it called "CHALLENGE RECORD". Play is not time-limited in this mode. And unlike other modes, after few successful shots, new bubbles appear from above. As well in this mode the "ceiling" of the playing arena don't drops downwards. There is bonus if player is able to clear all the bubbles from the screen, then he continue with a fresh screen full of bubbles.[1]
Afterwards exactly this mode was implemented in the clones Snood and Bubble Shooter. The absence of time limits turned the game into a casual. And this has ensured a popularity of these games among office employees and other PC users.
