Points are mainly gained by popping bubbles, thus fewer combos results in more points (see Strategy). They range in size from 'Size 1' to 'Size 6' on level 22. This, quite obviously, makes it more difficult for the player to complete the level by popping all the bubbles.īubbles come in almost all colours of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Each time it is popped it splits into three smaller bubbles, instead of two, as is the case in all other levels. The largest bubble is found on the final level. In turn, 'Size 3' bubbles split into two 'Size 2' bubbles, and so on.

'Size 2' bubbles split into two 'Size 1' bubbles with each shot. 'Size 1' bubbles (the smallest) can be destroyed with one shot.

(Level 21 is an exception, as it is based on endurance and in order to complete it the player must survive until the time runs out, irrespective of how many bubbles are destroyed.)īubbles of various different colours and sizes are encountered throughout the game. When the time runs out, the player automatically loses a life. In all other levels a red time bar sets a limit on the amount of time a player can spend on a particular level. On levels 6 and 7, the ceiling moves downward and the player must destroy all the bubbles before it reaches the bottom. If bubbles are popped in quick succession, a 'combo' can be achieved as the bubbles fly upwards and touch the spikes (this can only be achieved on bubbles of 'Size 4' and above). One of the main features of Bubble Struggle is the presence of a spiked ceiling in each level. These include various weapons, extra lives, shields, extra points and a slow-mo item. Various items can be collected by splitting bubbles. While the shield is fading, if a bubble hits it the player is not damaged. However, if a bubble touches the shield, it is lost after several seconds and the player is left vulnerable once more. Extra lives can be collected from level 9 onwards and shields can be used to protect the player. If the player touches a bubble the player automatically loses a life. Players start off with five lives at the beginning of the game. The game plays similarly to Super Buster Bros. A sequel, Bubble Struggle 2: Rebubbled (or BS2 for short) was released on May 20, 2007. As of May 2007, the game has been played more than 40 million times on the official website alone. The title was changed after it emerged that another game of the same name held the trademark to it. This version can be found on the website amongst others. The original version of the game, which was released in 2002 and has 17 levels, is known as Bubble Trouble. The current version of the game has 22 levels and a high-scores system allowing players to save their best scores. The object of the game is to destroy dangerous bubbles, that bounce around the screen, by splitting them into smaller components and finally destroying them altogether. Bubble Struggle is characterised by colourful backgrounds that are different for every level and a simple, light-hearted game design. In Bubble Struggle, one plays as a devil character dressed in a trenchcoat, yellow T-shirt and bright orange shorts. It has been featured on many well-known games websites such as Miniclip and AddictingGames. Bubble Struggle can be played both in single player and two-player modes. The game is available online and an older version can also be downloaded from the official website.

It was released in late 2002 after approximately 6 months of development. Bubble Struggle (also known as BS and originally called Bubble Trouble) is a popular computer game created by Croatian game designer Krešimir CvitanoviÄ‡.
