#105: Super Buster Bros.

Bustafazoo!
I recognized the name of this game but I couldn't remember why. Was this one of those games where you shoot coloured bubbles? No, that's Puzzle Bobble and while the name is almost similar that's not it...
Incoming balls!
Right! This is the game where you're a dude with a harpoon gun pointed straight up and the goal is to blow up all of the balls on the screen. When a ball hits a harpoon it explodes into 2 balls of a smaller size. Eventually there's a size that is so small it just disappears instead of splitting again. There's a time limit for each stage and the strategy in the game is to keep the number of balls on the screen manageable (if a ball bounces into you then you're dead) so you ideally want to be shooting the smallest balls that you can while dodging everything. Oh, and a lot of the time there are powerups that come out when you shoot a ball so the gameplay changes on the fly depending on what comes out.
25 worlds down! At least 15 more to go.
There's not a whole lot to say about this game. It's a solid puzzle game. The music was good, the controls were simple to understand, and it's fun to play.

Rating: A+
