**Tumble Pop**
Tumble Pop is a platform game for one or two players, where the goal is to clean each enemy level by sucking them into a portable vacuum cleaner and then expelling them.
Holding down the fire button sucks in enemies, while releasing the button causes them to be expelled. The expelled enemies act like projectiles that can harm and kill other enemies on the screen they collide with. All enemies must be eliminated before players can proceed to the next stage. Throughout the game, letters of the alphabet appear randomly as bubbles. These can eventually be collected to spell the word “TUMBLEPOP.” When this happens, players are transported to a time-limited bonus stage, offering them a chance to earn bonus points and extra lives.
If players take too long to finish a stage, a Dracula-like enemy appears. If this enemy touches a player before all enemies are eliminated, a life is lost. This also applies to boss levels.
The game consists of ten different stages; the first eight are set in various regions of the Earth, while the last two are in space. Each stage has its own themed enemies and level bosses, and players can choose to start at any of the eight Earth-based stages.
