Bust-A-Move 3 DX is that classic bubble-popping puzzle game you probably remember from arcades, but now it’s on the N64 with a few extra twists. You’re shooting colored bubbles up the screen, trying to match three of the same color to make ‘em pop—simple at first, but then the ceiling starts creeping down, and suddenly you’re sweating over whether to go for that tricky ricochet shot or play it safe.
The colors are super bright, almost cartoony, and the music’s got that upbeat arcade vibe. There’s a bunch of stages with different layouts, some with obstacles or weird angles that force you to think a little differently. I kept getting stuck on this one level where the bubbles were arranged in a spiral—took me way too many tries to clear it.
If you’re into puzzle games that start chill but slowly ramp up the pressure, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time trying to beat your high score.
