About this game

Bust-A-Move 3 is a puzzle game developed and published by Taito Corporation for the Sega Saturn.

Players shoot colored bubbles to link three or more of the same color, causing the connected group to pop. Instead of pushing the entire playfield downward with a mechanical device, this entry attaches bubble groups to nodes that move downward.

Nodes disappear when they are no longer connected to any bubbles. A level is complete once all nodes have vanished. Bubbles shot toward the top of the visible playfield can bounce and travel back downward if they do not strike another bubble.
