I love this game! A very unique take on the theme and very cute. The music is great and the doopies adorable.

Check your links. I had to use the mirror to play the game. Anyway, it looked kinda crappy from the beginning, but the mechanics is really fun! :)

Like Vili said, had to use the mirror to download.

A bubble wand fits the theme quite well. The graphics are serviceable and fit the game, and the same with the audio.

Very cute and relaxing, loved the art but couldn't really figure out how to properly capture with the wand, it seemed random if it would just pop or start the progress part

I didn't get it at first, but it got fun when I got it! I wish that there was a mute feature though, I got kinda sick of the music. Great job!

As a note, your primary link is broken. It's pointing your you own computer you local network. The mirror link does however work.

The game is cute and fun, but it gets repetitive since it takes a while to get any upgrades. I would make two suggestions. Make it possible to get upgrades that would increase money making direct (such as increase star spawning). Secondly, I would move the bubble down farther on the screen; it was nearly impossible to dodge when fast falling enemy appears.

Also, the music is very good. Very few entries have music so it was great to get good music right off the bat.

Pleasant to play. Pleasant to see. Pleasant to listen to.
Just a simple pleasant game :)

Not gonna lie, when I saw the screenshots, I thought this'd be bad. I was proven wrong. This is a very good idea that I've never seen before! It's fiendishly brutal too! The text could do with a rework, some font sizes are too small, and some text colours are hard to read against others, but it is brilliant!

Really very good fun. Although the choice of collecting stars threw me off. I thought they were spikes and I was avoiding them! Great game though.

Thank you all so much! the feedback is great and i almost wish there was a round two!

Kind of first person Bubble Bobble! Love it. :-)

Very good game ,,,

This was the first game that really pulled me in, probably because I wanted to see how long it would take to buy everything.

I really enjoyed the game. The only thing that stood out to me as a possible area of improvement would be improving the upgrades. Every time I upgraded, I found I wanted to go back to the basic wand/blade/soap because I could earn more star pieces. Once I bought everything I did try and get as high as I could with the best equipment (I still have never reached the end of my endurance).

Also, it might be good to have a bit more warning for the enemies that drive straight down ... or maybe I'm just too slow to react. ;)

Anyways, excellent game!

aroymart 2015-04-21 00:37

Thanks a lot!

And yea I agree with the upgrades, I'm actually considering going back and re-balancing and adding "special effects" to the shop just for my own personal closure haha

yea sorry for the bird things, those annoy me too!

It's fun, but it'd be nice if you could move the bubble both horizontally and vertically, in order to allow the player to have more time to react to hazards, or maybe go faster if they move their bubble closer to the top of the screen.

mightytoast 2015-04-21 02:48

Super unique idea!

sawyerweld 2015-04-21 16:41

This was awesome to watch you livestream!

Jeremias 2015-04-21 18:19

Very calm experience and interesting (upgrading) mechanic. I wish dodging the falling objects would be a bit easier in terms of time given to react. Why not place the bubble a bit lower or make the enemies slower?

foxarya 2015-04-23 14:16

I'm addicted to it. I love the chicks

taviandir 2015-04-23 14:30

I didn't get any feedback on anything I did, nothing died and i didnt get any money so I'm afraid I did not quite understand this game! Cute music though.

peecestudios 2015-04-23 20:08

Fun game cool design

jmborden 2015-04-25 20:19

Very unique game. Simple music went very well with the game. Perfect mood.. very relaxing game to play. Having the shop component made me want to keep playing it. I could see this becoming a mobile app.

Wonderful game! I've played more than an hour. And never seen the sun :( Very dificult to earn money.

kaiseangames 2015-05-05 18:57

Nice game.

Maybe the bubble is too large so it gets hit easier by the enemy, but other than that, it's interesting.
