Bub-O Burst

Bub-O Burst is a fast-paced modern 2D arcade action game with light puzzle elements. Harken back to an era when games used simple rules and fast gameplay to hone your skills and earn a satisfying ending. Zig-zag around mazes to form a trail of bubbles. Shoot bubbles to kill or stun enemies. Avoid the screen-weaving Un-bub! Speed up inside the bubble trails. Collect the letters B-U-R-S-T to burst your bubble trail. More bubbles = more points. More Points = more levels to unlock. This is Bub-O, a simple little bubble-blowing forest creature who just wants to take a nap. But the mischievous villain Un-Bub wants to play! Does Bub-O have the bubble-blowing skills to beat the bothersome Un-Bub at his own game and return home?

  • A villain who brings constant chain-reactive havoc to every corner of the screen
  • Unique bubble-based power-ups like the Mega Bubble
  • 40 screens of adapt-on-the-fly puzzle elements
  • The first "rogue-like soundtrack" by the world-famous chiptune band 8-Bit Weapon
  • Cinematics break up the action to tell a charming story
  • Lasers
  • Turbo Mode for score-chasing speedrunners
  • Scanline filter for those classic CRT feels
  • Perfect bite-sized sections for busy modern gaming habits
