Bust-A-Move

Bust-A-Move (also known as Puzzle Bobble) is a real-time puzzle game in which the player controls a device called a "pointer" at the bottom of the screen, which they use to aim and release randomly colored bubbles upwards. Depending on how you aim, the bubbles float straight up or bounce off the walls, changing their trajectory. The goal is to align the bubbles so that they touch bubbles of the same color. When these bubbles form a group of three or more, they burst and disappear from the screen. If the ceiling of the area is covered by too many bubbles, it will gradually sink down; the game is over when it almost reaches the pointer controlled by the player. If the player fails to release the bubbles within a certain time limit, they are automatically released, regardless of how the pointer is oriented.
