Cool idea and execution :thumbsup: There are some issues however. When looking straight up or down the camera freaks out. Additionally as you get bigger it often clips through the walls. It also seems that you get very very slow as you get bigger. During the end I was second biggest bubble and it took light years to get anywhere.
So many bubbles reminded me of 2005 Hooligans movie for some reason.
Oh and forgot to mention the music is very loud.
The idea is awesome, its like Agar.io but in 3D! It is very hard to tell if you are bigger than another bubble though, just because 3d perspective is so skewed. Maybe there could be some kind of indicator to let you know from farther away if you can absorb? Good work though!

It does get easier as you get bigger very quickly since you gain a lot more control and slow down, but then you kinda slow down too much and have to find speed boosts which can be far away. Really funny graphics and neat take on the sorta agario genre, whatever that genre is called lol.

I'm gunna agree that it's really hard to tell if you are bigger then another bubble. In addition, controlling the bubble, especially when aiming up or down causes the camera to do funky things. Spawned inside the shower and it was terrifying trying to get out.
An original concept very well executed. From the nostalgic music to the particles spawned when colliding with other bubbles, you captured the bathroom feel very well. The issue that I found was that on the beginning of playing the movement of the camera seemed a bit weird, but an option to reverse the camera movement would make it. One of my favorites until now, congratulations!
It's a bit hard to move the camera and I also couldn't tell which bubbles were smaller than me from a distance. The guy in the shower was great though
I really like the music in your game. It is super loud but it was worth. I also love the idea that you took the time to program an AI that competes with you, love it! My only gripe with the game is that it's really hard to tell if a bubble is bigger or not and it felt like I unfairly died even if mathematically I totally deserved it. Oh and the camera goes through walls which can be a bit hard to combat.
Very cool. Been chased by a bubble a little bit weird :)

Giving 5 stars for innovation here :D The 3d models are super cool as well
This game has A E S T H E T I C Gotta say,it really has a unique style.Gameplay is pretty nice too,though the camera might need just a little adjustment.Great job ^_^
Very nice look and feel, but maybe don't use a Setup, because it is a bit of a barrier, when you first have to install the game.
I'm always a sucker for katamari-esque games. That said, the slowdown when you're a giant bubble is way too high, you basically can't do anything.

I love the models very much, great weird funny look to them. Do wish I can invert the mouse up/down, very hard for me to play. It is also difficult to judge size of bubbles.

I don't really want to run a setup and the web build doesn't work for me, any chance you could add a standalone windows build?
@woubuc Sure thing! I fixed some very small issues so the build will be a post-comp

I like the look a lot, and it's fun to fly around, but the camera clipping through the wall does make it tough to navigate the small room.
Really great, controls were a little off, as the camera would start to flip out when moving around sometimes.

Super cool idea! I really love this guy just standing in his shower. It's actually quite hard to aim for smaller bubbles but it was fun to play.
I loved the music! I really wish there was an invert look option as the Y movement was hard for me to get used to. The concept was great though and fit well with the theme! Loved the art direction too, very silly and everything felt cohesive. Oh, also it'd help a lot to lock and hide the mouse cursor when controlling the bubbles. It's a bit of an issue with multiple monitors when you mouse goes off the screen, especially with synergy when my mouse is now being assigned to another computer :smile:
Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
