How to run:
Extract the .zip archive to an empty folder and then simply doubleclick the .jar file.
On a console:
java -Djava.library.path=./ -jar bubblebreeders.jar
Make sure to have at least JRE 1.6 installed!

After accidently tripping over an old tree stump, you and your folk fall into a dark portal which led into a big dungeon full of evil red thingies that want to kill you. As you don't like being killed, you decide to search for the portal back. It has to be somewhere in this dungeon...and maybe you can find something else interesting too!

The dungeon is randomly generated on each startup. It might happen that your already spawn in the boss room (it should be rare, but still...). If you do, just restart.
Your race evolves into a stronger one as you progress and you can also upgrade your buildings and do some research for some nice special powers. In order to enter the dark portal room, you will need to get obsidian. But your normal pickaxe won't do! After the area around the portal is clear, you can enter it and - yay! you won.

There are more possible inventions than there are shown. They are randomly chosen on each start, so every game you play will be a bit different.
The rest should be self-explanatory.
