Second Bixly Arcade Tournament


It's that time again! In case you weren't around for the first Bixly Arcade Tournament, we've decided to give everyone another chance to get acquainted with the Bixly Arcade. I built it, I want to share it with everyone...especially those that did not have the opportunity to play them in their childhood.

For this tournament, we are featuring the game: Puzzle Bobble 1. In case you've never heard of it, Puzzle Bobble is a strategy color matching puzzle game created in the 1990's for arcade addicts. The point of the game is to shoot the color ball that randomly appears on your arrow and match it with the already existing bubbles on various stages throughout the game. If 3 or more of the same color bubbles attach to each other, then all 3 bubbles will burst opening you up to other colors. It's not that simple though, there are strategies involved, geometry and precision is key to this game.

So, bring your steady hands (even graphing calculators) and join us at the Bixly office for some Bixly Arcade action! The fun starts Monday June 18th, 2012!

Unfortunately we have to have rules so here they are:
