Simple, and effective.<\/p>\n<p>You can play this new mode with up to four players cooperatively, and the goal is to get rid of the bubbles that have the invaders marked on them by sticking three or more bubbles of the same colour to them.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders 1\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e0ae421b8499b\/puzzle-bobble-vs-space-invaders-1.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e0ae421b8499b\/puzzle-bobble-vs-space-invaders-1.445x.jpg\" alt=\"Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders 1\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders 2\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/da2280198550f\/puzzle-bobble-vs-space-invaders-2.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/da2280198550f\/puzzle-bobble-vs-space-invaders-2.445x.jpg\" alt=\"Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders 2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Images: Taito<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a twist \u2014 if you&#8217;re observant, you might see that the little dinosaurs don&#8217;t have their usual bubble-launching machine, and that&#8217;s because you can only fire the bubbles directly upwards.
