Bubble Bobble is a platform game with each level being a single screen. The enemies must be cleared from a level to go to the next one. With one player controlling Bub and the other controlling Bob the player can jump and collect items for points. The real power Bub and Bob have however is the ability to blow bubbles. These bubbles can be as platforms to leap on or to trap enemies. Enemies trapped in a bubble must be popped by jumping into them so they can be collected for points.
