Kitty's Bubbles
Hey everyone! This is my attempt at making a bubble shooter in Pico 8.
Help Kitty through 40 levels to retrieve her lost bubble.
- Press left and right to aim
- Press up and down to fine tune your aim
- Press Z to shoot
- Press X to swap your bubbles
- Aim assist and colorblind modes can be toggled at the pause menu
There's a few unlockables if you make it to the end
Have fun!

Update!
- Reduced turning speed when using the up and down keys, allowing for more precise aiming
- Added "reset level", "quit level" and "quit cutscene" menu items
Great presentation and fun, inventive levels!
I'm about half-way through and I'm finding that aim assist is essentially necessary (at least for me) after a certain point, maybe it could be the default? I also think that even for playing without the aim assist there should be an option for precise movement of the trajectory/aim cursor, because some times it's really hard to get the perfect shot at the speed the cursor moves by default.
Anyway, adorable story and nice polish, I'll be sure to finish the adventure for the lost bubble! (why Kitty wants that one specifically so much that it warrants throwing hundreds away, I don't know, but it leads to a fun adventure!)
Wow, so professional! The artwork, gameplay, and even the cat are lovely. Maybe someday I'll create something like this, integrated with synthetic consciousness.
Overall great and cute.
Struggled a lot after a few levels... And that's only at that point that I found the aim assist in the pause menu. Things went from struggle to casual stroll at that point.
A few memorable points :
big X
Failed maybe 4 or 5 times on that one, thinking I was missing a game mechanic.
Finally got the 4 reds I needed to win by dumb luck, and felt stupid for overthinking it. After all, there's no penalty for losing, so I shouldn't have stopped to overthink what I did wrong, when I just got bad RNG on a game with quick rounds and no loss consequence.
frozen flowers
That one felt very strategic to play... only to win it with 10 bubbles remaining. There really was no need to stress about this one ;)
chain reaction
Stressful getting the wrong colors until the very end, barely winning.
final challenge
Got it 1st try without struggle. Guess luck works both ways.
Nice ending, nice music, nice gallery, nice everything...
Just a very nice game. Thank you.
Where is my bubble
this is a struggle
Cool weather or hot
find the dog or not

Let's play with doggo !
Fun and polished game, but for anyone having trouble, I agree with @Munchkin : Once into the "crystal" levels, I needed the aim assist.
Don't worry if it feels a bit easy that way, the real challenge unlocks once you reach the ending the first time...
That's a really nice review, @RealShadowCaster
It's always good to know how players feel about individual levels! :)
Also, final challenge 1st try no struggle is crazy! I put my soul into making that one hard haha
