The first post-release update to Bubble Bounce is now available, and it adds a fair bit.
The single-player experience has always been one of the game's weaker elements, but now you can actually play with a computer player! It isn't the smartest AI on the block, but it's better than nothing! It will automatically appear when the player has no opponents.
I've also made changes to the physics. The method used to make the player bounce has been tweaked to be less physics-driven. That means that, for instance, the Roller Coaster level will now bounce players the same height even when the coaster is going up or down. The new system should allow players to bounce with more confidence than ever before.
The cave level has had a couple of small changes to how stalactites work. They no longer slow down or speed up depending on how close they are to the edge of the screen, and now move at a consistent speed. I've changed how they look.
-Added computer player to the game when no other players are present in a match
-Changed the bounce physics to be more consistent
-Changed the graphics and speed of stalactites in the Cave level
-Added a sprite that shows how many points you get when you pop a bubble
-Updated a small portion of the UI to work better in full screen
The changes to the physics and the bubbles popping are also available on the demo of the game as well.
I would encourage you to check out the official Bubble Bounce Twitter page, as that's the best way to get information regarding updates, additional platform support, and any other information that isn't suited for the Steam community page. However updates will continue to be posted here just as they always have been.
I'm at a point with Bubble Bounce where I'm running low on ideas for future updates. As a result, I'd like to ask that any ideas be submitted to the feedback form that I include in the game's options menu. Here's a link to that form.
Thank you for playing Bubble Bounce!
