Greetings Gamers, Greg here to talk about Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey from Survios and TAITO, who teamed up to make and launch this title coming on October 5th. You read that right – BOBBLE as in Bubble Bobble, the classic game that spawned countless imitations. Bub and Bob are back for their 35th birthday celebration with a cute and clean 3D build of their world.
I got the chance to sit down with some of the devs responsible for this celebratory sequel and try out some of the amazing features included in this game. Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey is pioneering cross-reality for Survios, normally VR game developers, with this amazing feature you get multiple games in one. Start out playing on the TV and then without closing the game switch to VR and keep playing. Survios’ VR expertise pays off especially when you see how cute your hands are with little dinosaur paws.
The 3D puzzle mechanic works even better in VR, no Surprise there, allowing you just a minor edge on peaking around at your three dimensional floating puzzles. You may decide you have to spin the puzzle around to get just the right angle on breaking a huge piece off or see if you shoot out into the great beyond it could come back and hit just the right piece. This is very gratifying when it works.
It’s cross- reality and cross-buy so when you get it for the playstation you get the PS4, PS5, and PSVR games all in one. Where you can conquer 100 progressively difficult puzzles in story mode, play with a friend online with dual mode, or puzzle to your heart’s content with infinite mode.
It’s an especially rare pleasure these days to sit down with devs and share in their passion for their work. So to share a sentiment from meeting them this is a nostalgic experience of course for any fans from the past 35 years of Bobble or Bust-a-Move, but this is a very enjoyable puzzle game on its own. This is one you can get your youngins into or enjoy on your own.
Please check out Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey it arrives on PS4 and PS5 October 5. You can visit PuzzleBobble3D.com and follow Survios and Taito on Twitter to learn more. Players can wishlist the game right now on PS5, or at: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10002893
