RELEASE NOTES

Puzzle Bobble 2X is a puzzle game in the tradition of Tetris. Instead of
matching puzzle pieces together, you must match up at least 3 bubbles of
the same color which then pop and fall off the screen. You can control
where you shoot your bubbles using a pointer. Similar to Tetris, you can
see what the next or "on-deck" bubble will be so you can plan your
strategy as necessary.

Also similar to Tetris, the playing field grows smaller as time passes by.
As you continue shooting bubbles on a level, the ceiling begins to drop,
pushing the bubbles down. If you clear all of the bubbles on a stage, you
go on to the next level. If you shoot a bubble that ends up below the
dead-line or the bubbles on the screen fall below the dead-line, you lose
a credit and start that level over.

When you start a game in BB2X, you get a dotted line extending from your
pointer that shows where the ball will go. This helps you to bounce the
bubbles off the walls to get them in the proper position. Once you move on
to the next level, your guide line is gone. If you lose a level, however,
you will get the guide line back when you continue (for one level only of
course).

You can choose to play this game in single-player mode, two-player
cooperative mode on a single screen, or deathmatch multiplayer mode over
a network. At your disposal is a huge array of primary and secondary
weapons systems, including napalm, flame throwers, shard weapons, lasers,
and grenades. You are able to jump and climb over certain in-game objects
to gain a strategic combat advantage, providing extraordinary player
interaction with the game environment.

This game is also known as Bust-a-Move again in the arcade/on consoles.
