Play Bust-a-move 2: Arcade Edition (dos) Online

Bust-A-Move 2: Arcade Edition is a puzzle video game released in 1995 for the MS-DOS platform. It was developed and published by Taito Corporation. The game is a tile matching puzzle title presented from a side view perspective, featuring the characters Bub and Bob.

The player controls a cannon at the bottom of the screen, aiming and shooting colored bubbles upward toward a ceiling filled with a pre arranged cluster of bubbles. This ceiling gradually descends over time. The primary objective is to clear the playfield by creating matches of three or more bubbles of the same color. When a shot bubble connects to the cluster, any group of three or more matching adjacent bubbles is removed. The game progresses through a series of stages, with each stage presenting a new and more complex arrangement of bubbles to clear. Players must also manage the constant downward pressure of the ceiling, as a game over occurs if it reaches the bottom of the screen.

This edition of the game offers multiple modes of play. The main progression involves completing successive puzzle stages. A separate puzzle challenge mode presents specific bubble arrangements to solve. The game also includes a multiplayer mode where two players can compete on the same screen, typically taking turns to clear their own bubble fields or interacting on a shared one.
