DEVELOPMENT

I made this game, my eleventh game released on Itch.io, to divert my attention from a Cookie Clicker game I am making, which is driving me mad. It took a few hours and really could use a little more work, but it is cute, colourful, and makes satisfying popping sounds. The popped bubbles still make noise if you finger them and that is something that needs fixing in the future, but at the moment, I can't think of a way to achieve it easily. I am completely musically illiterate, and so once again needed to pilfer from others. I managed to find some calm Minecraft musical notation and incorporated it into the game. 

I am thinking of adding some game-play elements in the future, such as bubbles that come back to life after a few moments and make it more difficult to pop everything, or a timer. I don't really want to lose the relaxing vibe, but I also understand the game is fairly one-dimensional. I have added a V's mode, bubbles will reappear randomly, which adds a slight challenge. Also added a Windows version of the game for download. I may add a timer to this mode later to add replay and allow players to try and beat their best clear time.   Best times are saved, so you can try to beat your record.
