Pogy's Adventure (Puzzle) by Kikuta Pogy's Adventure in Bobble World is a homebrew clone of Taito's Puzzle Bobble, or Bust-a-Move, as it's known in other countries. The main object of the game is to match at least 3 of the same color bubbles by shooting them to make them disappear. You must clear away all the bubbles to move on. Pogy's Adventure in Bobble World has 2 modes, Normal mode which has a full 40 levels, and Block mode, which has only 5. Normal mode is a great implementation of the original Puzzle Bobble we all know and love. Block mode is the same game, but instead of the bubbles disappearing after 3 connect, you have to hit them with a special colored bubble that has a "metal bead" in it. The graphics in this game are all hand drawn, and done very well. The music is a cheery tune that helps make the mood for the gameplay. Sound effects are appropriate and sound good as well. The control in Pogy's Adventure in Bobble World is very solid, the joypad changes the direction of your "bubble cannon," while the shoulder buttons help with more accurate aiming. The A Button fires, the Start Button pauses, and the select button brings up the credits screen. If you like puzzle games at all, this is a must have title! The presentation is A+, from the splash screen, all the way to the credits. The readme states that this is an "Alpha Demo" and only accounts for 20% of what will be in the final project. The backgrounds, sound, and title screen are all temporary. They also go on to say, "You can be 100% sure that the game will be completely finished. Final release is estimated to be June 2005." I, for one, can't wait until a new version Pogy's Adventure in Bobble World is released, especially when you see what they can pump out for an "alpha demo!"
