It's interesting how a simple concept like jumping on bubbles in a short game can invoke some powerful feelings - this really took me away to a nice contemplative place for a couple of minutes. The lovely music and changing scenery brought it all together. Excellent!!
Thank you for the kind words, I'm very glad you appreciated it! :)
Very cute little game, and excellent art! There's something really, I dunno, expressive? to the player sprite that's hard to explain, but as simple as it is it's delightful. I just wanna help the lil guy jump, y'know? Well done.
Thank you very much! I tried to really make the player character as expressive as I could given the limited size, so I'm really happy that comes across! :)
I liked the fluidity of the movement, The falls were never Jump King levels of punishing which made it easier to persevere, Simple but well executed.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciated it! That's kind of what I was going for - you shouldn't be able to fall too far before a bubble catches you :)
hellooo pico 8 lover congrats for your game. The atmosphere of the game is charming and the music accompanies its soft side. It's very nice to climb along the bubbles and discover the landscape. The pixel art is very successful. On the other hand, I find that the character slides a lot, maybe it's on purpose because it's bubbles... but I admit that the walk without the bubbles would have suited me too
Thank you very much, I'm glad to hear the intended chill atmosphere comes across! I would have liked to fine-tune movement a little bit more too, but I got this submitted with 2 minutes to spare😅
Simple and pretty, very nice. A minor detail: It could use a sound effect when you jump, and maybe one on landing too?
Thanks very much! I actually considered that, but I thought given that the entire experience is continuous jumping, any sound effect could get a bit grating! And if that sound effect interrupted a music channel, it would make the soundtrack sound continually choppy and incomplete, so I decided to just keep a fuller soundtrack going constantly. I appreciate you checking it out! :)
Finally got to the top! Very fun game and cute game. Good job!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciated it! :)
Very cute character, fun backgrounds, and honestly the collision physics on the bubbles feels surprisingly nice. Awesome work!
Thanks very much! Honestly, I thought getting those collisions to work would be a pain, but it was surprisingly easy in the end! I appreciate you checking it out!
