Bubble Bobble is that game where two dragons shoot bubbles from their mouths and try to kill enemies by trapping them in green bubbles.
Each level consists of a single screen made of platforms on which to jump to escape from the enemy monsters (if they touch you you are dead) and to shoot them against the bubbles.
The enemy does not die immediately, he is trapped in the bubble that must be burst.
