Keep It Poppin' by Armen and Rob

A bullet hell-like game made in 72 hours for Mini Jam 84. The theme for this jam was "Bubbles" and the limitation was "You are your own ammo."

These two ideas were incorporated into this game in the following ways:

  1. Tons of bubble sfx
  2. The main character is a bubble
  3. You have to shoot spikes to avoid being popped
  4. When you shoot your bubbles you shrink and will pop if you shoot too much

Everything except the music was made during the jam. Music by Gichco was used. Linked here is Gichco's OpenGameArt page. 

Contols:

  1. Move: A and D
  2. Jump: Space 
  3.  Shoot: LMB 
  4.  Dash: RMB

Instructions:

Lose all your bubbles and you pop! Being hit by spikes makes you lose bubbles. Shooting loses bubbles but pops spikes. Popping spikes replenishes your bubbles.
