The game is over when all of the dinos' lives are lost. They lose one life every time they are hit. Players advance to the next round once all monsters have been popped and/or eliminated from the stage.īubblun and Bobblun are vulnerable to the touch of the various enemies and the projectiles that some of them fire. Bubbles may be burst by landing on top of them and crushing them, or jumping beneath them and popping them with your dino spikes. Either the bubble is burst by one of the dinos, killing the enemy, or the enemy becomes enraged and the bubble weakens, permitting the enemy to safely escape the bubble. Once caught, the enemy will struggle helplessly inside the bubble for a period time until one of two things happen. Once the bubbles begin to rise on their own accord however, they are no longer capable of catching enemies. The bubbles that they spit are capable of encasing and capturing enemies shortly after they've been fired. They have two special abilities that set them apart: they can jump very high, and they can spit bubbles.
Bubblun and Bobblun are no ordinary dinos. Meet Bubblin and Bobblun, the two dinosaurs which players control throughout their exploration of the Cave of Monsters. Note that it is possible to make your dino jump on top of bubbles without popping them by holding the jump button down. Your dino will jump the same height no matter how long you press the jump button for. Jumping can be performed in conjunction with moving.
