Gameplay Note

For the best experience, I highly suggest you play the downloadable version. If you experience any audio or framerate issues with the web-build the desktop version fixes that.

There should be no stuttering in the song!

 

Controls

WASD or arrow keys. That's it:)

The longer the bubble stays untouched, the more points you get when it pops! 

 

How the Sausage was made

I am the sole contributor. Made in 96 hours with Godot 4.2 for Interstellar Game Jam 6. The theme was Isolation. My inspiration from the theme was the soap-bubble. A growing bubble to keep isolated.

Everything was made by me except the music track and audio samples I used. What I did do for audio is dynamic mixing and post-processing (reverb, delay, sidechaining, etc.) at run-time based on the game-state. Notice how the music makes way for other sound effects during gameplay or becomes muted on the game-over screen. While on the game-over screen you should also try moving your mouse around quickly!

The typeface, bloom post-processing shader and camera-shake scripts were also created by me, albeit before the jam. The bloom shader is most noticable on the game-over screen. See the neon green glow around the retry button when hovered?  This whole game-over screen is more and more turning out to be an accidental tech demo... So that's also where the iridescence shader is the most prominent (first thing I made for the jam, never really got the soap bubble look down)!

 

Thanks to the fine folks over at Shiddy Game Club for playtesting. You know who you are <3
