Bubble Bobble 4 Friends

About

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends brings back the 80s platformer with co-op play for up to four players. You and friends control Bub and other characters, trapping enemies in bubbles while dodging traps and solving level puzzles. The game mixes fast movement with precise bubble timing, adding new abilities and boss battles to the classic formula. Each player’s unique skills help tackle stages designed for teamwork or solo grit. The standout is the return of local multiplayer, letting friends gather without online hassles. It retains the original’s pixelated charm but adds smoother controls and visual polish. Community feedback highlights the balanced difficulty and tight level design, though some note the story remains light. With a 78% Metacritic score, it’s a solid pick for fans of retro arcade action. The 4-player mode alone makes it a party staple for short bursts of chaotic fun.

Storyline

One night, a child’s room became enfolded by a miraculous light and every object under its rays suddenly came to life - including the child's most favorite toy, the little dragon called Bub. Full of jealousy, the wicked magician Bonner challenges the friendly dragon to battle.
