BBBLZ TRBBLZ (Bubble Trouble)

The game can be played with a mouse and keyboard (WASD) but also an Xbox one controller if you have one. Other controllers might work but has been untested. The Xbox one controller also works in the HTML5-version (at least on windows. Mac untested).

How to play

Damn. You need to pay your boss 100 bbblz and you have nothing. Not even a weapon. And da stupid boss did give you only 10 minutes to get 100 bbblz.

Find a weapon and then kill some punkz to get your first bbbl. Then plant it somewhere but watch out those damn punkz wants to take them bbblz back!

When a bbbl has grown enough it will spawn into another bbbl. The flashing bbbl are ready to be picked and planted again!

Why does some bbblz turn red?

If there isn't enough space for it to spawn it will turn red. DON'T pick it up! Try to make space around it so it can spawn or you will loose a bbbl!

Press M to mute the music

Very cool art and music, nice Cyberpunk vibe. I really struggled with the planting mechanic though.

Really nice entry! Loved the music and the mood to it. It was interesting how you planted more things it got harder to protect them, made the game really fun! Nice job!

Cool graphics that mesh well with the music. The unusual free-roaming reticle aiming style was surprisingly fun to play with. XBox360 wireless USB controller worked fine on the web version. It was fun defending my bbblz farm from punks! Sometimes a punk would spawn in the middle of my bubble farm and go to town. Rude!

So, let me start with saying that this game was awesome! Great graphics and ...I LOVE THE STORY! First I thought it was fabolus that you just "ok, lets kill some punks so I can get what I want" ...but at the end of the game I was like "HEY! YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY BBBLZ YOU FR**** PUNK!!!#¤". Well done and executed in such a short time!!

Love the art and music in this game. I really liked the way the gun fired, it felt good. It took me a bit of time to get the mechanics of the bbbls down, and then I noticed the bad guys were stealing them! Nice work guys.
