Description:
pBobble is a clone of the old arcade game Puzzle Bobble,or Bust-a-Move.
Your goal is to clear each level by collecting at least 3 balls of the same color.
NOTE:
This release of pBobble is BETA! This means that there might still be bugs that I haven't found through my own testing, and there might be bugs that I'll never find on my own.
That's why I let you try out the game, and my hope is that if you find any bugs, you'll take the time to describe the bug and mail it to me.
Features:
- 30 original arcade levels
- 1,2 and 4 bpp graphics
- Full stylus control
- Highscores
- Multiple ball sets

Changes:
- Save state.
- Start game at any (finished) level.
- Handling of system events like low battery messages and alarms.
Bug fixes:
- Firing rapidly would sometimes leave a ball in the launcher, or leave ball trails if the balls were dropping.
- The power button didn't work during gameplay.

Hah! this game may have been taken off freeware palm, but if you do a google search for pBobble BETA you can still find it!! I did, and it was definitely worth the search!!!

This game is incredably fun. I went through two sets of batteries with this game. I highly reccomend it! 5 out of 5!

Wow, great graphics and a good implementation of a game I have always loved. The stylus control gives great accuracy without having to wait for the aimer to move from side to side. Also the aimer is animated well so you can get the exact angle you want. This is much better than another version I tried, a shareware version that used the hardware buttons, but wanted $6 to register for about 100 levels. It's aimer was a poorly drawn arrow that could only point in about 16 different directions. It was not worth the $6 to register it, but the finished version of this one is worth at least $20!

Now THAT'S entertainment. I haven't put my Handspring Visor Prism down yet. Don't think I will either.

I'm helplessly addicted to pBobble. The current version still has some bugs, like ghost pixels sometimes littering the screen when balls should be erased. With hardware keys control, it's easier to aim accurately, but the drawback is that the stylus control now jams a lot. The ball sets are fun, and color support makes the game wonderful. Despite the bugs and some jerkiness, pBobble has a smooth general feeling as I return to it day after day. Thanks!

I've played with this game for a while, and found that I like it quite a lot. I found that the new features of 1.0 BETA 2 have good potential. In particular, multiple ball set can make a very good screen, but currently the ball sets are not good enough to bring benefit actually. Hardware key input will probably helps those who don't know how to play at the first instant, but for me I like the original one to tap below the shooter: it is less conventional, faster, and just funnier. So the only real thing that this version brings me is that I can enter text using Palm's method.

Doesn't know how to play. Also, it is quite difficult to control the arrow!
