About Bubble Dizzy

Bubble Dizzy presents an action focused departure from the series' typical adventure style. The setting is an underwater environment where the player character must ascend from the sea floor to the surface.

Progression relies on navigating temporary platforms in the form of bubbles that burst after a short time. While moving upward, pearls are gathered and hostile sea creatures like sharks and swordfish must be avoided. A limited oxygen supply adds a challenging element, though it can be replenished by finding specific canisters.

Successfully finishing a stage grants a score bonus. This bonus is calculated from both the quantity of pearls collected and any remaining oxygen reserves.
