Pupple Pop

I played the demo before release and had been looking forward to the full version, and honestly, it delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The game has a really cute visual style, and popping bubbles on the side while watching a video or just relaxing is surprisingly enjoyable. Great work, this is a lovely little game.

I will probably chase the final achievements, but I'm still recommending against this game—at least for now. It has a decent premise, but the UI is really counterintuitive and the pacing is quite slow. Information is withheld from the player for seemingly no reason as well; the most notable example of this is how to gain more prestige points. The game does not tell you the threshold for gaining more and doesn't indicate how they're gained either. One of the prestige features rewards idling but you'll trigger active play anytime you go to upgrade/buy new things because of how large the hover hook is. Some way to disable the hook if you plan to rely on idle gains seems like it'd be a good QoL add. In many ways this feels like it's trying to be one of those short 4-hour incrementals, but the pricing of upgrades forces this into being over three times the time commitment for not really any good, discernible reason. The game also crashes quite often. I'd say it crashes 70% of the time when saving, quitting, or prestiging.

been playing this for a bit now and honestly its a really nice little game the main loop is simple but it works. popping bubbles feels satisfying, the upgrades come at a good pace, and once the helpers start kicking in it gets even more fun to watch everything build up. it has that nice incremental game feeling where you keep thinking just one more upgrade and suddenly youve been playing longer than you planned i also like that it doesnt try to do too much. its easy to understand, chill to play, and just feels good moment to moment. if you like smaller clicker/idle games this one is definitely worth trying.
