Puzzle Bobble VR: Vacation Odyssey brings Bub and Bob into the world of Virtual Reality. Also notable for being the first game to drop the localized Bust-A-Move name going forward.

A version for PlayStation 4 and 5, Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey, adds flat support in addition to PS VR.

To do:

  • There's early character models in the game, before the game got the Puzzle Bobble license.
  • Find a way to rip and look into the models and animations.
  • Several unused graphics from the game's development.

Early Graphics#

Believe it or not, this game originally wasn't a Puzzle Bobble game! This graphic left in the game reveals that it originally had a fantasy theme before the rights to the series were acquired.

Unused Graphics#

Controllers#

Graphics for PlayStation Move and Oculus Rift CV1 controllers. The game only uses controller graphics for the Oculus Quest/Rift S regardless of headset, so these go unused.
