LINE Puzzle Bobble follows the brothers Bob and Bub as they search for a way to return to human form after being turned into dragons by an evil warlock. Burst the bubbles in each stage to move onto the next puzzle adventure.
Players simply have to tap the place they wish to throw the bubble and line up three or more bubbles of the same color to pop them. Players can increase their score by bursting multiple bubbles at the same time, bursting a series of bubbles and building up their combo, or clearing the stage with extra bubbles or time leftover. Each stage also has its own conditions that must be cleared before proceeding.
Some stages require players to clear the bubbles with a limited amount of moves, but have no time limit, while others require the player to achieve a certain score within the time limit. In addition to a variety of other stage clearance requirements, these provide the player with a multitude of ways to play the game and solve puzzles. There will be 90 stages available when the game launches, with plans to add more stages post-release.
As players clear more stages, they gain access to an arsenal of items, such as the Super Guide, which shows where bubbles will land, and the Bubble Plus, which increases the amount of bubbles available in the stage. Items are free the first time players use them, but afterwards they require Coins, which pile up as the player progresses through the stages.
By using LINE’s connectivity features, players are able to see their friends’ progress on the map as well as their high score for each stage. Players can also send help to their friends by giving bubbles or additional time with the Friend Help feature. This atmosphere of friendly competition adds another layer of fun that will keep players coming back.
