* Fun game with nice music and good graphics and nice gameplay. It was just little too hard :D. Max score i got was 9. Maybe you can make it more simple in beginning.

Fun game, nice graphics, good music! Good job :)

It may be better with a less steep difficulty curve

Glad you got your game working. That title screen is great and generally the visuals are easily readable and understandable. It's also very intuitive which is not always the case with jam games !
For the gameplay I imagine this would be better on a phone ? The game is pretty hard, I didn't get very far at all. You should consider implementing a more progressive difficulty where the timing is easy at first and then later becomes harder. But it seems to be proceduraly generated which is quite a feat in itself.

Wow! Really well polished and quite fun! The graphics and music were clearly spectacular! I liked the gameplay (simple point and click is always a good bit of fun, especially for a game jam game) but did find it a bit of a pain to predict if I could survive some gaps (but that's just me). The game fits the theme well with the underwater environment and avoiding the enemies was intuitive. You should be really happy with this entry as it is really well constructed, and it plays well!

Nice music. But this fadein during movement is quite distracting.

Excellent, thrilling game! Everything flows very well, and the effect of the bubble shrinking as you run out of time to move is very effective. Oh, and the graphics are quite nice indeed.

Gets hectic as you go down. What awesome music! I tried not to die so I can just listen to this! I loved it. Fun game. Would have given a 6 for the music if I could!

I loved that background music, it really pumps you up! The game is simple but quite enjoyable. The pixel art is nice and the variety of enemy (type, speed and number) keeps it interesting. I think it would be a nice phone game :-) I would have loved a more fast camera movement so you can "speedrun" the first 10-20 bubbles. It seemed that the difficulty level is based on the number of jumps you have done on the previous try... btw I managed to reach 45 bubbles :-)

@viperux, Great result! I usually cannot reach more than 30 :) Also i planning to port it on android after polishing and adding more gfx and enemies. Thank you much for playing and getting in touch!

Simple concept but well executed. I got a little bit addicted to this and I managed to reach 62 points! Gets very challenging after a while :)

The music was awesome, it got me hooked up into the game just to hear more of it. The art and visual effects are nice as well.

Great job overall!

Really cool game, you nailed it with the music and visuals (the title text is seriously awesome). Gameplay is simple and immediately clear what you need to do, but pretty addicting. I'm also glad you keep the high score on the menu!

Great game! Awesome art. I agree with other comments: it could be a bit easier (keep in mind, in jams it's always better to aim to something easy to play instead of ending with a really hard game).

I think the gameplay could be expanded a bit adding some bubbles with movement? :thinking:

BTW, keep in mind that you should opt-out from Audio ratings if you didn't create the music.

Anyway, congrats for your submission!

@kotzi Thank you for the detailed answer, the difficulty curve is the first thing i'm working on now, I will fix it in the post-jam version. Along with additional graphics, animations, and new types of objects that the player encounters.

This is awesome!! Very cool concept, impressive excecution. This will do an amazing mobile game IMO, a great way of passing the time. Music was awesome!! Maybe a bit to powerful for the rhythm of the game but awesome anyways. Thank you for making it! :)

Cool "one-button" game. With concepts easy to learn and hard to master. Definitely want to see it on a mobile platform, after tweaks of difficulty and more gameplay elements!

Very simple concept but very fun to play. I love the music ! :)
Cannot be able to reach 30 but I was close!
Maybe a little dashed line would be appreciated !

Well done :)
