Thanks for playing Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron's Workshop!

We've just released a patch to fix the following issues listed here, specifically

1. The original Bubble Bobble running too fast
   In order to be as close as possible to the original arcade game's performance on modern hardware, we locked the frame rate of teh game. Please be aware that tearing may occur depending on the refresh rate of your monitor.
   
2. Analog stick moving of its own accord

If the patch works for you, please let us know and thank you all again for your patience! .

After a successful launch on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation®4, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is ready to burst onto Steam!

To make up for the wait, the Steam version's getting a new, exclusive mode that will let Bubble Bobble fans everywhere create and share their own stages in Workshop Mode!
To reflect the devious stages we know you'll come up with, we've changed the name to Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron's Workshop, in honour of everyone's favourite series villain, Baron von Blubba. We have a new trailer too, to give you an idea of what to expect from the new mode.

In this new mode, you'll be able to create your own, unique stages by placing blocks, enemies and the bubble-carrying wind exactly where you want them. New blocks and enemies can be unlocked by playing through the game's story. And thanks to Steam's Workshop, you can share them with players everywhere and try out their stages too!

The release date is just around the corner...
