Save the bobas!

Move with WASD, arrow keys or simply click the screen.

As usual... wish I had more time for polish. (And levels). Maybe I will actually do a post jam version this time.

I feel like I wasted a lot of time messing with a 3D version and then the WebGL build failed, so I had to bail and just go back to 2D. Tried to keep the scope simple, but still a lot I wanted to add. But overall, a fun jam.

This game genuinely made me smile! I love that it played quickly and made me want to keep trying to beat my record. Adorable bobas! I found it easier to control by clicking than with the arrows, but that might have just been me. Thanks for sharing your game!

Thanks for the game, I really enjoyed playing it!

It's a shame you had to build it twice, but it still turned out to be a fun, if short, experience. Everything in the game works well with the core idea, which is awesome. The graphics and sounds are really nice!

I think I found a little cheese! If you stand by the tube during the suction and control the character just right, you can catch all the balls.

cute game, love the graphics and animations. it is a bit easy to cheese by getting just big enough and staying at the straw which make the moments before the first straw the challenging part and the rest a bit boring. overall very cute and a lovely idea

I saved them all!
Who would have thought that the bubbles in bubble tea would be saved by the bubble in bubble tea.
A very nice and high-quality little game that deserves high praise!
I'll be waiting for the sound volume setting)

Love the idea behind this game! So cute and I really love the squishy chewy boba effect!

Interesting and cute idea. Great game to relax)

Extremely clever concept, and very cute execution! Took me a few tries to get the hang of it, I kept panicking trying to defend the the other bobas from the straw and ended up sacrificing myself haha. Fun enough that I replayed a couple of times!

This is a really fun little game, I'd love it as a mobile game! After a few attempts I found the tactic of waiting by where the straw spanwns you can just let it bring all the boba to you, so maybe have the straw positioned randomly? Still a really solid game though!

Very cute and addictive! I like the pixel art used in this game, which is simple but very effective. The sound design and music are very well done!
The only downside for me was that I didn't feel there was any progression (in difficulty/gameplay) between levels. But the basic principle works very well! Bravo!

Cute, fun beautiful game, I love the added touch of the coughing wound after sucking in! It feels good and the animation is really nice - my only gripe is that after getting bigger, it feels like your character pauses after picking up other boba.

Cute Boba!The gameplay itself is fun and kept me interested, with simple mechanics that felt intuitive and satisfying.

@chrisbeck @pacelin @co5monaut Ha! Great find! :grimacing: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

My original intent was to have the straw come in at random positions and angles... so maybe it would help with that? Then you couldn't just wait at the straw each time.

I also want to have a funny reaction when you get sucked into the straw but are too big. :laughing: So maybe in that case... the suction also stops and the other bobas flee. (So you can't just cheese it so badly lol)

Appreciate the great feedback all!

@liliebagage Yeah... this was where I wish I had been able to get that in... better progression and varying colors of 'boba drinks' etc would help a lot.

@pacelin Hmmm... might need to add some volume sliders in a post-jam version. :thinking: The sounds are probably a bit loud huh? :grimacing:

Maaan I love your game ! simple gameplay yet powerfull, great use of sound fx, music, animations, art... everything feels great.
The choking sound is funny haha

I like how dynamic the graphic is! And I certainly can't wait to see the person choke on the giant boba I've created.. :smile:

Not that this is my favorite gameplay, but I sat down for a very long time and stuck replaying this game, which means that it is good

Very cute game, and it's very uniquely on theme! Love how squishy the boba looks :D

Super nice mood and graphics. It lacks gameplay mechanics but it is still a solid entry!

Such a unique concept! I didn't read abouyt the game first and thought maybe I was a meatball or a cell in a body or a planet in space and then it all CLICKED when the straw came along and sucked me up, I was a boba! The name makes so much sense now! The sound effects are really satisfying and the music really grooves too! This is really on theme as well, overall a great entry!

This was great haha the art and animation combined with the music was cute. The humor of the guy coughing on boba hitting way to close to home. Good work!

This is one of the most unique interpretations of the theme I've seen so far! And the art, music and execution is awesome :smile:
