๐ 20 Years of Play, Innovation & Creativity ๐
This is the first video in our anniversary series, celebrating two decades of Gameloft Sofia! ๐ฅณ Over the coming weeks, weโll share the trailers of all our games - from the very beginning until today - with stories about each title and the amazing teams behind them. ๐ก๐ฎ

In November 2006, we released our very first original game: Bubble Bash, developed right here in Sofia with a team of 35 talented people.
Originally launched on J2ME, Bubble Bash later went on to reach players across iPod, iPhone, Windows, Windows Mobile, Android, BlackBerry, webOS, and even Freebox, achieving 300+ ports worldwide. ๐
A fresh take on the Bust-a-Move concept, Bubble Bash mixed tropical vibes ๐ด, fun characters, and mechanics like chain reactions, bouncing shots, bomb bubbles, and even birds that could return missed shots. ๐ฆ With map-based progression, boss levels, collectible items, and even a theme song inspired by โ99 Luftballons,โ Bubble Bash was far more than a puzzler - it was a world to explore.
๐กFun fact: It scored 80% from critics and became a global hit, remembered as one of the most polished and beloved mobile puzzle games of its time.
From humble beginnings to global impact - this was just the start. ๐
