Nasty Bubbly - 72 Hour JAM Entry by Dr.Pingu

UP and DOWN Arrows: Move the fish well, Up and down.
SPACEBAR: Speed boost.

The goal is to escape from the landing net to not being catch and die in pain and suffering.
You must use the boost to go faster and pollute the bowl at the same time, avoiding such obstacles as bubbles and pillars, in order to win the game.
The fish food increase your boost bar.

Enjoy, and for the love of nature, save this goldfish's life ! Just a question of Karma.

Awesome! Well polished game. The visuals are really nice. Needs some tweaking for the bubble spawning. Sometimes there would be a cluster of bubbles at the only opening.

Haha, it's hard to give less than 4 stars. I really like how a *simple* idea can grow into something really awesome when nicely implemented : the story, graphics, music & mechanics really blend well. <3

Omagawd ! Thanks a lot.

We don't imagine that our game will made such reactions.

We are more motivated than ever to make a enhanced release.
We have a lots of cool additions/enhancements in our brains, and because of your reactions now we can't resist to share them.

We will work on a new release in the next days !

Meanwhile, a Postmortem will be published shortly (we are on rereading, self censorship etc...)

Again : thank you very much ! T_T

Wow, amazing graphics for the time given. I would have made the game a lot more fun with some score, so that you could compare with previous attempts.
Overall good entry. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Very fun and well polished. At first I didn't read this page and went straight to the game and was a little confused what to do except running away, until I decided to press space and I understood; you might want to add the instructions in-game.

Fun game. Seemed to be lacking a goal though, something like a high score or a target, could be I just never got that far though.

Very polished entry with good humour and sound. Some of the columns seemed a little unforgiving - you've really got to stay in the middle - but it was fun and I played until I beat it. ;)
