Your movement is vector-based and is a cumulative result of all of your directional key pressing. It is a simple idea, but what makes the game difficult is your limited number of vector adjustments before your bubble sprite is too small and suffers from self-existential crisis. The game features 35 levels, with gradually increasing difficulty. Here's a short gameplay video of the first 15 levels. In the following video, I toiled through the first 14, number 15 is where I am currently stuck.This is clearly my first attempt at the game, because it took me several tries to realize how to get past level 1. https://youtu.be/3t7W-evFXho You can use the joystick on a gamepad, but I strongly suggest that you just use the arrow keys on your keyboard, for precision control basically. You will quickly run out of air/fuel/life if you use the joystick. So in the end, what I thought to be a mindless and minimalistic game actually turned into a lot of path planning, thinking, and doing on the spot. While it's not a game for everyone, it certainly is interesting. If the video or the game seems interesting to you, I would suggest that you check it out. The base asking price of 4.99 USD is a bit high for a game of production value, I think. Get it on sale. [quote]I received the product for free.
