BATTLE BOBBLE

The ghoulish horde is at your doorstep! Your only recourse is to... pop bubbles?

Pop bubbles to earn gold, then hire troops to launch onto the battlefield. Collect diamonds to purchase permanent upgrades.



Be careful not to let enemies reach the town; if they destroy all of the houses, it's game over!



Be sure to manage the bubble board carefully. You lose if the bubbles reach the bottom, and if an enemy eats a bubble, it'll grow larger and more powerful.

Units

 

Archer: long range with moderate damage. Effective against gargoyles, but less effective against black knights.


Knight: high damage and attack rate, but short range.


Cannon: Very high damage with additional splash damage, but slow fire rate.


Farmer: Can't attack, but generates gold every few seconds.

Enemies


Goblin: Basic enemy.

Gargoyle: Stronger than goblins, but weak to archers.



Rat: Relatively weak, but fast. Catch them before they cause trouble.



Black Knight: Slow but very sturdy. Resists arrows, but weak to cannons.

Tips

Keep the area near the start of the road clear of bubbles. It's a prime spot for monsters to chow down.

Don't be afraid to let troops fall after making a match. You'll recoup half their cost when they fall, and you will eventually need to drop them to help clear the board.

Try a variety of strategies: focus on one particular unit's upgrades, or launch lots of farmers to boost your income.

This is an insane combination I feel like I am playing 3 games at once.
Also perhaps the enemies would make more sense if they were fish since bubbles?

When I bought my first unit and shot him up into the bubbles, I literally said out loud "that's really clever"! This is the kind of idea I wish occurred to me during this jam. I'm leaving this note here to come back and properly rate it when the jam is done
