BustAMoveGBA is a complete clone of the original Bust-A-Move (also known as Puzzle Bobble), made by Taito in 1994 for the Neo-Geo arcade system. It is a solitaire like puzzle game in which the object is to clear the screen of bubbles by matching colors.
Features
- Original 30 arcade levels in single player mode.
- Link play with the classic Deathmatch and a race mode.
User guide
Single Player Game (Normal and Widescreen):
- Match three or more balls of the same color to make them pop.
- Any Balls left hanging, after others have popped, will drop off the screen and out of play.
- Once you clear all of the balls off the screen the level is over.
- If the balls fall below the bottom line then the game is over, but You get 2 continues to try to finish all 30 levels.
- And yes, that is Street Fighter 2 Turbo credits music playing during the end game credits screen.
DeathMatch (Link Play Only):
- The object of deathmatch is to stay alive while trying to "kill" the other player by sending them more balls.
- Popping any more than 3 balls, as well as dropping balls, will send balls to the other player.
- The more you pop/drop, the more balls you will send over.
- In the center is a ball queue which indicates how many balls you will receive after your next shot.
- A red marker indicates 6 balls, the yellow marker is 1. The player whose balls drop below the line first loses.
Race Mode (Link Play Only):
- Race mode plays all of the original levels but you race against the other player to clear the screen first.
- The first one to clear the level wins. If a player's balls drops below the line then the other player wins the round, and the next round will start.
Controls
Left/Right - Aim
A - Fire the ball
L/R - Fine tune aiming

Select - Toggle Music or Quit if game is paused
Screenshots
Compatibility
This game will run on all the current emulators, but it really shines on real hardware as it has link play.
Anyone with access to flash writers should give it a try as it's a blast to play head to head.
Known issues
The game may appear very bright on the emulators. This game was written specifically for the hardware and, as you probably know, the screen is incredibly dark, so the graphics were brighten up quite a bit to get it to look good and playable in normal light.
