There are 8 kinds of normal enemies, plus the final boss and two kinds of invincible monsters that appear after the 'Hurry up!' limit, each with their own names. When in Super Mode, most enemies get swapped with a counterpart, e.g. They may but not always calm down when one of the dragons dies. Enemies also become 'angry' if they escape from a bubble that is not burst quickly enough by one of the dragons. Approximately ten seconds later, one or two Skel enemies appear on screen. When this happens, enemies become 'angry' (making them red and move faster thus making them more dangerous). If this is not achieved within a time limit, the message 'Hurry up!' will flash across the screen. The dragons' job is to complete the level by killing all enemies in it.

Contact with an enemy (or the missiles fired by some) will kill a dragon. There are a variety of enemies that move about in different patterns. Peter Clarke, Tim Follin and David Whittaker converted the music for the home computer ports (some versions feature the ending sequence track for the title screen music, such as on the Commodore Amiga version by David Whittaker). The game's music was written by Japanese team Zuntata. These do not need to be defeated to complete the level, and disappear once a player's life is lost.Д¬ontact with enemies and their projectiles (rocks, lasers, fireballs, etc.) results in death. A monster will also become angry if either player collects a skull (the only negative item in the game), and the monster is hit by the resulting comet crossing the screen (however, this is a rare occurrence).ДЄfter a further time limit expires, an additional invincible enemy appears for each player, actively chasing them using only vertical and horizontal movements. Д®nemies turn 'angry' - becoming pink-colored and moving faster - if they are the last enemy remaining, escape from a bubble after being left too long or a certain amount of time has been spent on the current level. Players progress to the next level once all enemies on the current level are defeated.

These same bubbles also float for a time before bursting, and can be jumped on, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. Food is consumed and transferred to points (an increasing scale of 1000 points is awarded for each enemy burst in tandem with another meaning: one enemy burst equals one food item worth 1000 points, two enemies burst equals two food items worth 10 points, three enemies burst equals three food items worth 1000, 20 points, and so on), which results in earning lives. Each enemy trapped in a bubble equates to a different food. Bubbles that contain enemies can be popped at the same time resulting in different foods being projected around the level. These can trap enemies, who are defeated if the bubble is then burst by the player's spiny back. The player can move along platforms, as well as jump to those above and to the side, similar to most platform games.

In the game, each player controls one of the two Bubble Dragons, Bub and Bob. The game feature two dinosaurs, Bub and Bob, which had to rescue their girlfriends kidnapped by a monster.Д«ub (or also Bob, if playing two-player) would encapsulate the monsters in bubbles and pop them, destroying the monster and leaving behind food or other items, worth points in multiples of 100. It is also notable for being an early example of a game with multiple endings, which depended on the player's skill and discovering secrets. The main goal of the game is to rescue Bub and Bob's girlfriends from Robots, among other enemies.
