Game: Super Bub Contest

Super Bub Contest (sometimes just referred to as Super Bub) is a game that falls in to the genre known as throw-coloured-bubbles-up-and-get-matching-ones-to-disappear-thus-causing-a-bit-of-chaos-on-your-opponent’s-side.

Choose from a quartet of characters: Bobo (a pig), Grizz (a lion), Chump (a frog-thing), and Jasper (a ghost) and throw coloured bubbles up in the air. Hit a coloured bubble with its matching coloured fire ball, and all connected bubbles of the same colour will disappear, and turn up on your opponents side.

If you like Puzzle Bobble, Super Puzzle Fighter or Baku Baku, then this will be right up your street. It’s polished and a lot of fun, especially with a second player.
