Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! feels like a fitting, worthy new entry in the long-running series. There’s a rich mixture of single and multiplayer/online modes on offer here, and though the AI bots can leave something to be desired, this is overall a well-rounded and appealing package that’s sure to appeal to any action puzzle fans. We’d give this one a recommendation to anyone looking for an addictive puzzler that doesn’t require too much mental investment to ‘get’ and that keeps you on your toes. The simple and brilliant game design on display here is admirable and it’s sure to eat up hours of your time once it gets its hooks in you.

Quotation forthcoming.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a cute and addictive game that respects the franchise's formula by offering plenty of levels and multiplayer fun. However, we feel that its full potential is not fulfilled due to the lack of diversity in game modes.

It’s pretty hard to mess up Puzzle Bobble, and thankfully that hasn’t happened here. It’s also rather difficult to add to it, however, and I think the fact that Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! has managed to do so fairly well is to its credit. For puzzle fans it’s an easy pick-up, built around a time-honored core concept and loaded with things to do. Those who like to play games with their family will also want to give this a look as it’s a surprisingly good party game, too.

For the past two decades, Puzzle Bobble (aka Bust-A-Move) has been coasting off the momentum of the first four mainline games. Everybubble’s abundant stages, flawless performance, and incorporation of different play modes don’t revolutionize the franchise but delivers a package that’s as well-rounded as a soap bubble.
