You have a solid mechanic here, I kept playing for a while despite the lack of metrics or any real goal. Good job!

Nice mechanics, but a little too slow.

There is no end/losing condition, not even score. But it's pretty addicting, I have to say.

This is a really simple entry - but despite that I played it for quite a lot longer than I thought I would. The mechanic is just brilliant, possibly the funnest mechanic I have ever seen in an LD submission. Really solid job here! Now, just make it into a game and I would be thrilled to play it :D

Thanks for the feedback! I haven't learned how to make menus or a separate screen yet, so I didn't put in a win/lose condition...

I'll work on making my future games much more game-like! :D

Is there a goal?

really loud music, missing some obstacles, score, something..

Fun but, It just didn't seem compleeted

A solid star - get some hazards in there and there will be real tension!

Find the control is hard to master, but the game mechanics is fun!

Suprisingly fun! You have an entertaining mechanic her, but the game could use better graphics and a possibility to win or fail. I hope you will work on a post-portem vesrion.:)

Great music!

There is no way any other games have been submitted this LD with music this good. And the charging sound actually harmonizes with it. I would rate this 10/5 in Audio if I could.
Game-wise, it's unremarkable, but addicting. But, man, I'm going to go download the music from SoundCloud! How can this even be Ludum Dare music?

Thanks for the comments and feedback! For another entry with awesome music, check out Ripple Runner by DDRKirby(ISQ)!

The lack of actual goals hurts this game a little bit, but the sheer fun of the gameplay and the brilliant music bring this up.

Bubbles bounce off of bubbles with other stuff in them, but I think it would be more interesting if the bubbles bounced off of each other even when they're empty.

Nice music!

matt_j 2014-05-07 20:35

Nice music and sound. Game needs some work, though.

What a cool game mechanic for the bubble cannon. Its really fun, feels like a real life toy but in video game form.
