Great submission! I got stuck on level 4 as well. I tried several times, but couldn’t figure out how to solve the puzzle.

That was both unique and fun. There's something satisfying about popping a big chain of bubbles  in a row. I was able to make it to level 4 and that's where I ran into trouble. It talks about destroying the explosive ones first, if I recall correctly. I assumed those were the yellow because they had the same colour as the hint, however I didn't notice anything special about them specifically. 

Maybe I'll come back and try again in case I missed something.

Besides the fun and satisfying gameplay I the lighthearted spoofing of 20,000 leagues was pretty entertaining as well.

Nice and fun game!

I really like it.
Music is perfect for it, mechanics are fun.

Its quite the fun game. Loved the music and the sounds. Game mechanic is also quite nice. I got stuck at the level:04 but that is probably ı am bad at it.

Very neat puzzle game, once I got the hang of it I had some fun. Good trial and error approach helped me through the levels. This would make an excellent little moblie game.

This is a very polished game the mechanics work flawlessly. It is smooth to play and easy to understand while difficult to master. This would be an awesome mobile game that people would play endlessly I think. You have a great little game here. The story is good and fits. The music oddly enough was also fitting. The rave vibe I thought when well with the colors. Great and Amazing Job!

Interesting and well implemented mechanics, demands a lot of trial and error approach for playing, but it's still fun. Good work!

I love the mechanics! Lovely sound, music and visuals. It was quite difficult but fun! 😎

Nice game! Loved that you set up a little story to justfy the click colors game. Nice gameplay, simple but clean. I had to retry a few time some levels, but overall it's good!

Nice! Liked the little story things, very cute, the popping sound was great, and the mechanics overall a very nice change on the "bubble popping" formula. I unfortunately got stuck on level 4, as popping the yellow bubbles against the yellow barrier only worked sometimes. At one point I was stuck against it with it having 1 hp and there being like 3 yellow bubbles that I popped, to no avail :( Also it was totally possible to just by bad luck get stuck behind a barrier - maybe make the physics a little slicker (or slightly angle the barriers) so that it doesn't happen? Unless intended :D Anyway, fun!

Had to retry a lot but it was never frustrating. So fun! Also looking forward to seeing how the voice acting you mentioned will add to the experience.

Would just add that some of the text is a bit hard to read because of size and color.

Satisfying game! The popping really carried :D ; I’ve seen other concepts like these, but it’s still a good game. I think the overall visuals need work, like the UI, but still, good job!

It's an amazing game and it's been unique till now that I've played around 30 games :D.

Cool premise, it was fun but got really difficult in the magma levels. good submission!

Love the choice to adapt 20,000 Leagues into an abstract geometric bubble-popping adventure — you can't get that kind of intriguing weirdness anywhere but game jams and the dark depths of the Steam store. I did get stuck with the first liquid mass, but with some polish and a smoothed-out introduction, I can see this being a really fun puzzle game with a unique vibe.

Fun game and very satisfying bubble popping. Great job!

I like how you implemented the win condition. Very satisfying popping bubbles and letting things flow. Well done!

The bubble pop is just so comfortable, with some challenges to think of, good job

Fun twist on bubble pop games! Music and sound were great.
