The year is 2002, Osaka was just voted 7th most popular anime heroine of the year. Her classmates Chiyo, Sakaki, and Yomi also make the top 100. Riding high on the news, you visit your local arcade and drop some yen into the arcade cabinet, ready to pop some bubbles

All the charm of Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble, but from an alternate universe where Magical Drop was the most popular arcade puzzler...

Pick up matching color orbs and rearrange them into columns of three or more to pop them. Do so quickly an earn bonus points for each step in your combo. Trash pieces can only be removed by popping orbs adjacent to them.

This is truly is one of the crossovers of all time!

why isn’t it workin for me is it because I’m using an ipad 

Most likely yes, the game isn't built for mobile devices/touch screen controls. If you can connect a keyboard it may work.

you should add an endless mode that ends when it tops out and levels when you get a certain score to go to the next level every level it gets a little faster like Tetris, and another mode like time trial but you have to get a certain score to pass to the next stage and characters that react like Azumanga puzzle bobble

btw u can get the sounds and sounds  from  sound resources
