I'm not sure I know what's really going on but the bubbles are cool. I feel like there could have been more guidance. Overall a good start though!
For sure, I really dropped the bubble there! Thanks for playing and commenting.
Really lovely game. Timer too fast (especially when the screen sometimes loads without an ! in view and the instruction from the designer is to just "wait").
Oops you may have found a bug! Thanks for the feedback, I’ve got so much to think about <3
i couldn't figure out what i was supposed to do, but the bubbles effects were cool!
I’m sorry about that, truly. But thank you for playing and your feedback. I’ll make later versions more easy to understand!
Neat concept with very zen-like gameplay as Dragonmaster101 called out. I could tell that I was progressing and starting to get better scores after several rounds but I really wanted that progress to be more readily apparent as I played to reinforce that I was doing the right things. Thanks for making and sharing your game!
Definitely, there is a crude progression curve going on behind the scenes that the player isn’t told about so it would have been good to notify the player what is going on! Additionally I really want to let players choose their progression in a future version. Thanks for the feedback!
As of this moment, I alone stand atop humanity as the greatest Shockwaves player of all time. Very zen game. I dare anyone to try to usurp my throne
Ah yes, when I was play testing I was finding a zen approach to be the trick. Congrats on those scores, I’m amazed!
Throughout the heavens and earth, I alone am the honored one. (i’ve beaten ur score)
👀
HOW ON ACTUAL EARTH DID YOU GET THAT HIGH
I don't know actually :P
You’re all crazy! I love it.
The gameplay is kind of satisfying and art style seems fun! I wish the time limit was longer and I am not sure what I was doing exactly but somehow made the leaderboard :P It does have potential!
Thanks this is great feedback I really do need to dial in the balance and explain what is going on better!
I managed to get to the top of the leaderboard although I never fully understood what I was doing. I like the visuals and the concept for the game but it felt a bit like how well you do is more due to luck than skill. Also I think some popping sounds would really elevate the feel of the game.
Totally agree, it is far too random for my liking as well - I’ll get that dialed in for future versions thank you for playing! Also popping sounds are for sure a must!
I had fun but could never reach even 1/10th of the high scores, my game only have a lone cluster of yellows, making combos almost impossible.
Thanks for your comment, it is a bit unclear but if you keep playing you will get there. There is some kind of automated progression in the background… In a future version I’d like to let the player choose how it progresses.
