Bust-a-Move Universe is similar to its predecessors in that the goal is to connect three bubbles of the same color to make them disappear. Different modes of play include boss battles, 100-second, 300-second, or Challenge Mode.[3] Bubble dragon duo Bub and Bob travel the universe in a spaceship as doors open on planets, which release bubbles that turn into space debris. Bub must save Bob from being captured.[4]

Development[]

First shown at Nintendo World 2011,[5] it was later revealed to be a Japanese launch title.[6]

Reception[]

The game received mostly mixed to negative reviews from critics with a Metacritic score of 49/100 based on 30 critical reviews.[7] and Nintendo Life said that the game was " a disappointingly thin package as it offers virtually nothing new to the series or long-time fans."
