TouchArcade - Today Taito released a new entry to their Bust-A-Move series (known as Puzzle Bobble outside the US) into the App Store called New Bust-A-Move [$4.99]. It’s a sequel of sorts to their original iOS version of Bust-A-Move that was released in 2009, and features a host of new gameplay mechanics that warrant the “new” in its title. It’s a game that’s filled with content and fun ideas, and despite several drawbacks New Bust-A-Move is a welcome addition for fans of the series.
STP: Bust-a-Move (also known as Puzzle Bobble) is more than a Match-3 puzzle game: it's the King of Match-3 puzzle games. When Bub and Bob the Bubble Dragons stepped out of Bubble Bobble to engage in a bit of '90s era puzzle-play, the gaming world gave their vacation a thumbs-up. Bub and Bob have since made a full-time career out of popping colored bubbles with arrows, and chances are good that your mom still plays some counterfeit variant of the game on the Internet.
GameDynamo - "Yes, New Bust-A-Move even has enemies and boss stages in its Adventure Mode, outside of Classic Mode. Adventure Mode has players completing a variety of stages in seven or so worlds in an effort to defeat evil monsters and collect magical rods while competing for high scores and collecting keys to unlock special stages. "
AppSpy - New Puzzle Bobble refines the gameplay of the Bust-A-Move titles while adding a few new twists to make this a great handheld version of the series.
