Cool game, buble pop chaining was implemented very well. Bubble physics was very good too, they seemed very realistic. And the music is super catchy :D

One thing tough: it happened on more than one level to get stuck without having bubbles around, could not a way to move left or right to get unstuck. Being able to nudge left or right could help getting unstucked.

Well done, fun game! :)

That's a great idea. Yeah, when I played the game on my phone, I found myself trying to shake the phone to get the ship to move. There should definitely be a "jiggle" mechanic.

amazing music. game was addicting, and it made me stay a lot longer than i tought it would. it's so satisfying popping those bubbles. Really great job!

Very addicting concept. The chain reaction bubbles are satisfying to pop, and I ended up sticking with this game for a while to try to beat it (which I did)!

I do think some of the mechanics are too unclear. In particular, for anybody stuck on that yellow bar on Level 4: I had no idea you needed to click ON the yellow bar first, then pop yellow bubbles. I think the instructions could have been more clear there.

Oh, and I liked all the music except for the one that plays during the first squid fight (I think). There's this dissonant high-pitched squeal that hits this particularly evil-sounding frequency, and no matter what volume it's at, I just couldn't stand it while wearing headphones. Thankfully, you only used that track once.

But like I said, I love the chain reaction thing! Overall, great job!!

Developer

This is great feedback. Thanks so much for your kind words and constructive comments! I'll check out that music, and I'll try to be more clear about the yellow bars. I know that part of the game is a little confusing. Thanks for confirming that!

I enjoyed the music. The game mechanic is simple but very satisfying. Good job!

Love the art style you have gone with and love the sound design as well. I loved the overall feel of the game as well, it really felt like you were stuck under the waves and I loved the way all the bubbles rise to the surface. 

The game is kind of difficult, but not unfairly so. Well done!

Hy 

Thank you again commenting on my game


(Also first time commenting on anything online ever :) )

Me and my girls really liked yours :)

Although by  Level 12 I wanted to throw my mouse out the window , I couldn't hit those bubbles, it took some time to get the timing. Sometimes I had the feeling I was clicking on them but they still didn't pop.

But I liked it very much.

I did not understand this game at all but I honestly played it for ages, crabby beat my ass... The music was fire

The music is AMAZING! Sadly I couldn't destroy the yellow bars in the 5th level. I tried every color or is the size important?

If you have the time, please play and rate mine :D

Developer(+1)

You have to click the bars before hitting the yellow bubbles. I know, kinda confusing. I'll for sure play/rate your game!

So the game is very much luck based and the player will be confused about what to do first.

The music and story are very good though.

Also this also my first time uploading a game and commenting on others as well.

Developer

thanks! I'll check out your game.
