Descpription:
Tumblepop is an arcade platform game by Data East released in 1991. It is
considered a cultclassic, appearing to borrow some elements from the previous year's Snow Bros.
The game involves one or two ghost-busters who can suck monsters/ghosts into
vacuum-cleaner-like devices and spit them back in a bouncing/rolling ball.
Expelled enemies can be used as weapons that can
result in bonus items when used to crush other enemies.
The game's looks are reminiscent of Pang. Player/s could collect letters of the
alphabet found in bubbles in order to complete a word found at the bottom of the screen.
When completed, players reach a bonus level which gives them the opportunity
to obtain higher scores and an extra live, although this level is strictly timed.
The word goes back to default after completion.
In the original arcade version, the protagonists work their way through stages
set in different parts of the world, each with their own enemies and at least one boss.
