Super Bubbles Fruit Shooter

Instructions

Welcome to this one heck of an 80's/90's NES fever dream called Super Bubbles Fruit Shooter! PLOT It's a nice day on the island of Coral Kingdom, Los Angeles. Or is it...? Looks like the Ghosts want revenge for being trapped in graves for so long, so they've decided to infest your backyard! You can play as either Bubbles or Pogo, and blast away the Ghosts with some Fruits, which are: • Cherry - Your standard, default fruit • Stafruit - Goes fast • Banana - Acts like a boomerang. It'll go back in the direction you're facing. If you shoot whilst facing left but then go right, it'll go in the right • Plum - Explodes • Strawberry - Splits into 3 • Orange - Is slower, but his size is able to defeat more Ghosts • Melon - Splits into 2 and explodes. Can also bounce off edges • Grape - Inflates You can tell which fruit you have indicated by a small icon somewhere in the top left. There's also the fruit you can only use 5 times: the Pumpkin. Starting from level 30, it explodes, and can destroy a majority of Ghosts. Beware! For every 100 Ghosts you defeat, more will appear and they'll get faster! Starting level 15, you'll be rewarded with Bubbles and Pogo's favorite chocolate candy snack, "N Pellets". It'll restore your health back to 20! They'll only appear if your health is below 9. Try and reach level 110, indicated by the red flag. CONTROLS • Left and Right Keys to move • X to shoot • Z to use Pumpkin On the character select screen, there's a blue square in the bottom left. This houses skins you can apply in-game, those being: • Halloween • Super Bubbles • Christmas In the 18-levels-long Fever Mode, Ghosts with special abilities will spawn in. Here's what they are: • Runner Ghost - Runs and is faster than the other Ghosts • Mariachi Ghost - Can go in any direction • Balloon Ghost - Airborne Ghost who's immune to all fruit except Starfruit, Plum, Orange, and Melon • Grave Ghost - Uses a gravestone as a shield, and is immune to all fruit except Banana, Plum, Orange, Melon, and Grape • Pogo Stick Ghost - Can jump in the air to dodge attacks. Whilst in-air, its immune to all fruit except Plum, Melon, and Grape In the Boss Fight, you'll be able to fight off the Boss Ghost, who would not only spawn in other Ghosts, but also throw Bombs and Fireballs. Tip: the Fireballs are faster than the Ghosts. Also, your character will be randomly chosen for you. Want more? There's minigames as extras! Those being: • Splash and Spike: Feeding Frenzy - A minigame based on one of Bubbles and Pogo's favourite cartoons. You'll get a random character chosen for you, either Splash the Clownfish, or Spike the Sea Urchin. You have to dodge the hungry piranhas 30 times for each wave, using the left and right keys. Pass all 3 waves, you win! • Ghost Season - A minigame where you play as one of the Ghosts. There are projectiles flying above you, some of those being the Duck Bros., which consist of Junior (yellow duck), Bill (mallard), Webby (white duck), and Larry (penguin). Throw a Ghost at the projectiles 75 times in each wave, using the left and right keys to move, and "X" to shoot. Pass all 3 waves before time runs out. • Burger Blitz - A minigame focusing on one of the Coral Kingdom's most popular fast food restaurants. Collect the 4 food items on-screen 8 times by clicking them. Pass all 3 waves before time runs out. • Duck Race - A minigame where you play as Junior, racing against 3 of the Duck Bros. Press "X" to slowly fly and reach to the finish line. Want a pause button? Play it on Turbowarp! https://turbowarp.org/880393720 At your local Starbucks? Travelling overseas?
