Bubbleverse
In Bubbleverse you grow and collect bubbles for money which you can spend on upgrades. Bubbles attract each other and merge when they come close enough to each other. When bubbles merge they add their values together and get a bonus.
Instructions:
- click a bubble to collect it
- click "spawn" button to spawn a bubble
- there are two upgrade categories unlocked in the beginning - access them with the white buttons at the top of the sidebar
- the third and currently last upgrade category is unlocked after the first prestige tier
- UI should be relatively self explanatory
What will maybe be added in the future?
- offline progress
- more upgrades of course
- more achievements (and achievement rewards)
If you have any feedback, ideas or questions feel free to comment!!
Game tested and working on: Firefox, Chrome on both Windows & macOS (Linux should work as well). You can try using Safari there were some problems in the past but now it seems to be working. Use a recent browser version to assure compatibility.
The game is open source: GitHub Link. It is developed using p5.js. Also uses notify.js and jquery. If you have questions / suggestions about contributing / development please also feel free to write an email to embergames@protonmail.com.

does the game save your progress? I am afraid to close it
also for feedback, the game is amazing at least at the start. I will write more when I get later in it but I would like it better if the auto collector would collect the biggest one or at least have an option for doing that. since if not it just collects the little bubbles and leaves the bigger ones to continue max out sometimes because it seems to be rng
edit: this is a quality of life thing so not the most important update but will help a lot
kinda addicting, but super simple and fun! Great concept for an idle game, I love the magnetics.
edit
I used prestige a few times and the bubble sizes don't reset. so when you play first bubbles a big at the max, and the max gets smaller when you increase it. after prestige your sizes stay the same as they were if you were still in the original playthrough.

spawn button doesn't work :(
then the new update come out
This is fun, but the autocollector upgrade just... sucks. I think it's because it doesn't prioritize full bubbles, so it ends up massively stagnating potential growth--though I guess it still gives you SOMETHING idly. Anyway--still, fun game that you should consider picking back up.
This game is open-source, sir.
@kadejordan i can't code tho
I frickin' love this game
yeah an update would be nice
I honestly doubt we'll get an update for this ever. Last time this game was actually updated was back in 2020.
oh yea and global mo=ultiplyer doesnt work
i think the devs for the game are done with it :(
is there saving?
yes
Why does 2+4 equal 7 in this game? There's something weird in a lot of the adding...
Is this a bug or an intentional mechanic to incentivize bubble merging?
it's the bonus. so u don't just sell the little ones. the more you combine, the more it gets. so it's purposeful.
i love playing this game but trying to play on a large screen is almost impossible, no screen options is disappointing
What about when a bubble is max size, they dont merge anymore and incoming bubbles just rest at the edge?
edit: That could be a Physics upgrade
What about an achievement for popping 50 max size bubbles?
i am happily wasting zime with this fun game and will definitively reccomend it. question please: it appears that with auto collect active, maxed-out bubbles swallow up smaller ones without me getting the points for it. I mean that i never get my population full (eg. 30/30) because the smaller ones get gobbled up without getting the points. any way to check the issue, please?
Saving doesn't seem to work for me, how can I fix that?
the auto upgrades don't work and I don't know why please help
You might have figured this out by now, but they need to be turned on. Hope that helps.
fun game to spend some time on :)
ooooo a game that has been updated a year ago i wonder if the dev is still active cuz i can't wait for the next update
it's a great game and pretty addicting only is should make so that the autocollector collects te highest vallue bubble and not random
and i have the feeling that i don't always get the money when the bubble is collected
The auto collector should collect the highest bubble number
YES
This game is extra fun and addicting, but when you get to ~prestige 3, it gets kinda boring.
So you should add more gameplay.
Eg: Like bubble battles (where you use bubbles to make units and battle enemies)
Bubble battles are a great idea!
Wish the devs would implement them
This is so addictive! I'm not sure the autogenerate or autoharvest features are working.
Thank you for your feedback! Can you pinpoint what exactly is not working or describe the issue? Then I might be able to fix it :)
When I get those upgrades, nothing happens.
Okay I will look into it :)
you also have to turn them on aka click on the "off" buttons next to them :-)
It is a great game and I cannot wait to see how much improvement this game can get. Good job and keep up the good work. Btw, when upgrading the speed of autocollectors and autospawning, I do not see much of a difference in the spawn speed and collect speed.
When the multiplier starts to get high, it doesn't matter so much anymore, because of the cap on max bubble value stays the same while starting bubble value gets higher. Beyond a x64 multiplier, there is no improvement, because the value of each bubble is maxed out anyway, so you just end up with a bunch of bubbles that can't merge.
I don't get what the Bubble Merge Monetizer does.
Hey :) With the merge monetizer every time two bubbles merge you get a certain amount of money based on the size of the bubbles. I don't really know the details how it is calculated anymore but that's the idea of it at least. Just tested and it works.
Very addictive and fun. I personally play it when I cook and have to wait the food ahaha great job!
Very good and addictive clicker game!
I've apparently managed to achieve a state where the bubbles are not merging at all.
could it be made to remember the achievements?
Great version!! I was looking forward the endless prestiges. Love how this is turning out, keep up with it!!
minor issue: the game doesn't remember if the automators are on on reload.
This will probably be fixed in 0.2
I like the update
Full-size bubbles are too attractive and absorb smaller bubbles :(
I will work on some balancing for that in 0.2
i really enjoyed the game, disappointed its small though. I cant wait for the next update!
Very cool! I like the idea! Keep up the great work! Can't wait for more. :D
It's a lot of fun and reminds me of the game Incremental Popping. I can't wait for more!
Thank You! I will definitely add more content in the next couple of days and weeks! I already have some ideas written down but I have to do a lot of code cleanup first.
