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!!

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.

Gastronauthellooo 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

Mum is missingSimple and pretty, very nice. A minor detail: It could use a sound effect when you jump, and maybe one on landing too?

Upsy-DownsyThanks 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! :)
