About this game

Bang Bang Ball is a 1995 arcade puzzle game developed by Metro and published by Banpresto / Kunihiko Tashiro+Goodhouse. Player 1 controls a mouse on a skateboard, while Player 2 controls a mouse on roller skates, as they attempt to rescue their kidnapped girlfriend from a group of cats.

Players throw colored balls at matching balls to clear each stage. Unlike Mouse Shooter GoGo, the game replaces the direction-lock button with two-player cooperative play. Collision with the balls reduces the player's health, with the life bar allowing two to five hits depending on the DIP switch settings.

The Korean version, Battle Bubble, retains the same gameplay but uses different backgrounds.
