Puzzle Bobble is a puzzle game released by Taito in 1994. It is a spin-off of Bubble Bobble, featuring the same characters, but with a different gameplay. The game is a falling block game, where the player must shoot bubbles at the top of the screen, and match three or more bubbles of the same color to make them pop. The game features 100 stages, each with a different layout and difficulty, and a two-player mode, where two players can cooperate or compete against each other.
