Boba Teeny by ScrapMetal

Save the bobas!
Move with WASD, arrow keys or simply click the screen.
As usual... wish I had more time for polish. (And levels). Maybe I will actually do a post jam version this time.
I feel like I wasted a lot of time messing with a 3D version and then the WebGL build failed, so I had to bail and just go back to 2D. Tried to keep the scope simple, but still a lot I wanted to add. But overall, a fun jam.

It's a shame you had to build it twice, but it still turned out to be a fun, if short, experience. Everything in the game works well with the core idea, which is awesome. The graphics and sounds are really nice!
I think I found a little cheese! If you stand by the tube during the suction and control the character just right, you can catch all the balls.
Who would have thought that the bubbles in bubble tea would be saved by the bubble in bubble tea.
A very nice and high-quality little game that deserves high praise!
I'll be waiting for the sound volume setting)
The only downside for me was that I didn't feel there was any progression (in difficulty/gameplay) between levels. But the basic principle works very well! Bravo!
My original intent was to have the straw come in at random positions and angles... so maybe it would help with that? Then you couldn't just wait at the straw each time.
I also want to have a funny reaction when you get sucked into the straw but are too big. :laughing: So maybe in that case... the suction also stops and the other bobas flee. (So you can't just cheese it so badly lol)
The choking sound is funny haha
