Lot of fun, but in one point turns to impossible
It's a cool concept and I like the style, but like the other comment says, a giant bubble that you can't avoid is basically guaranteed after about a minute of play.
This idea has a lot of promise! With different enemy types and a little knowledge of where the genre has already been (see Osmos) you could make something great out of this idea!
Nice and clean! :)
Really cool! It's a bit easy though, it then it very quickly gets impossible. :)
I like how it plays, but I agree with ccglp that at some point it just becomes impossible to avoid the super-giant bubbles after about a minute.
Thank you guys, I am aware of the giant bubbles, and I am planning on putting more enemies!
It seems little too easy. Nice graphics!
Nice choice of music. Game becomes unwinnable near the end. Neat idea though!
Even though the game eventually becomes unwinnable, it's still a nice dose of fun. It's nice to see a new take on the "eat the bigger fish" game. The way all bubbles, not just the player, absorb each other is pretty cool, and it's a shame it results in the impossible endgame scenario of giant, unbeatable bubbles in the end. It's obvious you originally wanted to have multiple levels, because then levels could have ended before this scenario could happen. Still, you did a very good job for only a few hours of development time!
PS: As much as I'd like to give you a high Audio score for the fantastic song you picked, Compo entries aren't allowed to use 3rd-party music. :(
Its slow at the beggining, then becomes impossible and depens on luck.
The main idea is good but you sure have to advance it
The difficulty progression is a bit of - it starts out really easy and gets near impossible very quickly.
Great entry, though! Congrats! :)
mrjohnson22 thank for your reply on this game! I didn't know put third party audio wasn't allowed. I am not the "sound guy", I feel bad now about it. But thank you anyway.
