BubUp by snowpato

made by snowpato for LD26 (JAM)

A simple (and minimalistic in concept) made in HTML5. You are a bubble which wants to get out of the glass, and you know that outside you will live ephimeral. So, you need to grow up if you want to be free before leaving the glass....

Gameplay: Left/Right Arrows to move.
Objective: Collect the green bubbles to grow-up.
Mission: Get to Lv5 before getting to the top.

Team:
Fuani_Chan (@fuani_chan): Graphics.
Snow (@snowpato, @snowcorpcl): Programming, FX.

Music: Popcorn & Sedatives, by solomen (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/382471).

I have a suggestion: slower the speed when you are lv1 then speed up when gaining levels in order to ballance the difficulty of bubble collecting - i find it hard at first, then when you grow it become easier.. but somehow irreversable.

@Ariake81: Thanks! It's really a good thing to have a reference to a game that i've never played before. That way i could take some ideas to improve the concept.

@foul: Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see if i can polish the game with some feedback.

@brookman32k: It took me a while to get the strategy to the game. Sometimes it's just luck, other times a good timing.

Pretty difficult to get to level 5, I enjoyed the style. I lose all sense of speed inside the glass though.

Work great, but a bit slow (waiting. In fact I'm writing the comment waiting for the last two bubbles ^^)

Nice game. A little hard to get those green bubbles though =/

Effervescent! I like that the map reminds me of an FPS but I'm collecting bubbles in a soda instead of murdering people. Nice idea for an ending, letting the user float out into the larger world.
