Bubble Buddies
A downloadable game
Welcome back, we've missed you!
Bubble Buddies is a reimagination of Bubble Bobble, arguably the best c64 game ever. With 100 brand new levels designed for maximum happiness, Bubble Buddies emphasizes unique level design with a wider range of gameplay and a slightly easier playthrough with a smooth difficulty curve.
All graphics have been polished to look their absolute best within the narrow constraints of the c64. Most of the sprites are made by the talented Davide Bottino for the 2025 release of Bubble Bobble C64 Remastered.
This is not a rewrite, but a hack of the original game. Only the content has been changed, along with minor bug fixes.
Bubble Buddies runs great on real c64 hardware and in the Vice emulator.

Very nice game!
Wow! You made my day! Thanks! :)
Nice level-set, good work. One thing I noticed, that i want to mention. In the second screen (the one, after the "Bubble Buddies" logo screen), it should perhaps be written somewhere, that you should press either button 1 or 2 (for 1 or 2 players) now, to go on.
Maybe not all users are so familiar with "Bubble Bobble" on the C64 and some could otherwise get the impression, that the game has frozen in this moment, since there's no music playing at that point and you also can't proceed with the firebutton on the controllers or with the function keys. In the original game, there's a note at the bottom in this moment, indicating the player, that he should press 1 or 2 now and that really would make sense here as well. Otherwise, great release.
Lets GO!
Great version, thanks🕹️👍
