Connection to the theme (short sentence)
I was kind of going for "frutiger aero" aesthetic, which makes me feel nostalgic.

Is this your first jam?

Nice little game, it kind of reminds me of an FPS trainer :D just quickly popping things with the mouse!

Things I would improve: why not introduce a bonus when bubbles overlap and then add that to a score? Or have a score system in general—that would be cool! I unfortunately stopped after about 3 minutes because I felt like the spawn speed wasn’t increasing. If the bubbles moved faster over time, the challenge would steadily ramp up and keep the player engaged longer.
Otherwise, a solid jam entry :) keep it up.

Cool game! But there is a slight delay between clicks, which kills all the enjoyment😭

At first I was waiting for the game to get harder, but as I realized it didn't, I actually enjoyed it more I think. There was something really relaxing about the game. I'm impressed how much a good soundtrack and simple but satisfying mechanics were able to keep me playing for so long! Well done!

You i did great i like art and game as a whole. a little twist would of been nice maybe different types of fish in smaller bubbles or bigger fish that takes multiple clicks to pop. apart from that well done.

Nice relaxing game. I would add different fish and splash sounds for variety. Also maybe a bomb bubble so you can't just spam click

Very nice game. It is simple yet relaxing and the sound effects are so satisfying. the art is cute and simple.

I love the music and the “frutiger aeroness” of the game, but it’s quite boring after a minute of freeing fish.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

The idea is simple, but it's not buggy, and it works well, so good job!

Developer

Thank you!
