#72Nice. It took me a few times to realize that I could do bombs or slingshots by clicking in empty space. The tutorial makes it look like you have to click on a bubble. Maybe the black circle in the tutorial should be removed? I also got a little confused in the beginning about par vs lives. At first it seemed like par was the only important thing, since that's what pops up after the level. The lives icon at the bottom…
This. The 'black circle' in the tutorial is no good, maybe a dotted circle instead to make it clear you're supposed to be tapping empty space and not a black bubble.
Same. When the game started I was looking for a black circle to use against the "bubbles"; none showed up, and suddenly I had lost.

#73Really well built, and I love the tutorial... BUT Jeepers, it starts off so hard compared to the tutorial. 1. I was not expecting bubbles to move (since they are all static in the tutorial). 2. I wasn't expecting a golf/par scoring thing. 3. I didn't realise you could (and should) start powering up during the countdown at the start. 4. Took me a long time to realise you can just click quickly to create bubbles, witho…
One more kibitz, each level should give you the option to replay at the end so you can hone your skills, and only your best score should carry over.

#74Cool game. Tutorial is easy, but difficult to progress.

#75Love this game! Took me quite a few tries to get through levels 15 & 16. But when I finally did, I was only 1 over par! 3 missed taps, 77 launched slingshots, 13 detonated blasts.

#76Also please add more levels and I’ll enjoy even more!
I do think this could easily make some decent money as a mobile app.

I came to the comments for the very same reason. I feel like replaying a level until you complete it should be mandatory or at least optional.

I’m glad you like it! Anyone can use the builder and submit a level suggestion through github:
