Bubble golf is a precision puzzle platformer where the objective is to capture alien creatures threatening to destroy fragile ecosystems. The player can move by aiming with the arrow keys and launching themselves with X. The player can capture the creatures by bumping into them. When a creature is captured it becomes ingulfed in a bubble that the player can move up by pressing Z or C. In the event of a softlock the player can hold X + Z/C to restart the level.

Finally. It took longer than I expected. The buttons mechanic and absence of free cam mode made the second half   more of trial and error, when you have no idea which button can do what and where they'll even lead you. Also I wished there would be a saves or level select since sometimes you need a rest in the games like this.   

So... What now?

Bubble Golf is one the best games i have ever played, it is truly revolutionary, from the visual aspects and art to the way it plays, it truly presses the limits of PICO-8. It is a game where every move counts, and you cant just blaze through it, instead; this game made me think before actually moving. The art in this game is truly amazing, along with the visual effects, every part of this game screams with passion and love, with the colorful saturated tones, that clash perfectly with the background, after playing through this game, I recommend this game to anyone that has a brain, and likes a challenge, 10/10

 Oh really? The game was soo good you just created an account for this game alone out of any other PICO-8 game?

 What a passionate individual!

 Then please share with me the wisdom of how you completed the level I was softlocked on. The screenshot is riight above you.


 Also the game won't save your progress if you quit. You're lucky for being able to complete it in one go 

You see, in my review you have to have at least a brain and wont be pissy about a challenge, you bubble each monster at a time instead of both at once, and then riding the last monster to the top.

Pissy? I was genuinely happy for ya... I created my own account because of Pico Wars. 

Wait... Button won't work if pressed simultaneously? and you need to touch each one by some sort of order?

Oh wow, it really is. Too bad that such game won't tell me what each of the buttons can do.

 I guess ya right, I just too ordinary for games like this. Better visit something less perfect like Golf Sunday.

 Though I think this game is more a trial and error then a puzzle.  And there is no music... Hope a creator sees our little discussion and make this game a little more perfect. For like 12/10

wouldn’t hurt you to be a bit more nice would it? Grow up.
