Crazy Arcade (Korean: 크레이지 아케이드) is a free Korean online video game developed by Nexon. It used to offer five different game modes: Bomb and Bubbles (BnB) , Tetris, Hidden Catch, Dizzy Pang, and Bz. However, the latter four were soon removed from the game. BnB, which takes on the classic Bomberman series, adds its own twist to the game by replacing Bomberman's bombs with water balloons.

[edit] Bomb and Bubbles
Up to eight people can battle in a room either by Manner or Free mode. But in other cases, there is a limit. For example, in Village 10, there can only be 6 people at a time, considering that there is no more room to spawn in that area. In Manner mode, teams are evenly divided by color. Free mode allows teams to be arranged in any way that suits the players.
The objective of the game is to kill your opponents by setting water balloons that pop and release water both vertically and horizontally. Being exposed to the water causes one to become trapped in a bubble. If a teammate runs into him or her, the player is released from the bubble, but if an opponent does the same, the player dies, putting him or her out of play (or not, depending on the mode of gameplay).
Experience points are awarded for each victory, and gaining enough points will result in a level-up. There is a complex ranking system, and different channels are available for specific groups of levels.
[edit] Characters
The eight default characters are listed along with their advantages (as listed on the Crazy Arcade website). There are also two rare characters (Santa Clause and Pirate) who appear only when a player chooses Random. These two have power boosts which let you set 2 bombs at the same time. They also have good speed and power.
- Dao: Speed
- Dizini: Normal
- Mos: Speed
- Ethi: Bubbles
- Marid: Bubbles
- Bazzi: Speed
- Uni: Power
- Kephi: Power
- Lodumani (Pirate), one of the two secret characters in the game.
- Santa Claus, the other of the two secret characters.

[edit] Types of Play
In all the modes, teams are available, but each mode has different roles for teams.
Normal Type This game mode features a straightforward multiplayer bomberman game. The winner is determined by the team who "pops" the other teams' players after they are consumed by the water from the water bomb.
Hedgehog In this mode, once a player is "popped", he or she is transformed into a hedgehog which can pop water bombs upon contact. Once turned into a hedgehog, a player will not be traped in a bubble on contact with water, but will be unable to move for a while. They will also always save a player(in a bubble) it touches regardless of their color. Hedgehogs can also eliminate ghosts on the cemetery and tomb levels (but then disappear). Hedgehogs cannot use bombs.
Kings In Kings mode, one player of each team is given the rank of King. Once the King is defeated, every member of the King's team dies.
Timed Timed mode features the revival of defeated opponents. The team with the most kills within the time period wins the match. If all teams have the same amount of kills, then the winner is the team who did not die as often.
Bombs Bombs mode puts bombs on players in a hot-potato style fashion, in which the match is determined by luck or minimal teamwork. The bomb counter switches from one player to the next, until it chooses a player to receive the bomb on his or her head. The bomb will start blinking faster as time passes, until it explodes. Teammates can save the player to extend the match.
