Bust-a-Move Universe, known in Japan as Tobidasu! Puzzle Bobble 3D[lower-alpha 1], and in the PAL region as Puzzle Bobble Universe,[2] is a puzzle video game developed by Taito and Arika and published by Square Enix for the Nintendo 3DS . It was released in Japan as a launch title on February 26, 2011, and was released in North America on March 27.

Gameplay

Bust-a-Move Universe is similar to its predecessors in that the goal is to connect three bubbles of the same color to make them disappear. Different modes of play include boss battles, 100-second, 300-second, or Challenge Mode.[3] Bubble dragon duo Bub and Bob travel the universe in a spaceship as doors open on planets, which release bubbles that turn into space debris. Bub must save Bob from being captured.[4]

Development

First shown at Nintendo World 2011,[5] it was later revealed to be a Japanese launch title.[6]
