About the Game


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?
