Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble is NP-Complete
arXiv:1506.08409
Abstract
We prove that the classic 1994 Taito video game, known as Puzzle Bobble or Bust-a-Move, is NP-complete. Our proof applies to the perfect-information version where the bubble sequence is known in advance, and it uses just three bubble colors.
