Developer Thoughts

This Update got a lot bigger than anticipated! Enjoy VS Mode! Instead of talking more about all these features, I would like to briefly talk about something that was not planned: Accessibility Mode. I met somebody who works with kids and creates custom devices so kids facing certain challenges can still interact with a PC and e.g. click a mouse button. I found that amazing and together we thought about what it would take to make Bubbits work for these kids. Welcome: Accessibility Mode. My goal for Bubbits is to bring smiles and laughter to everybody and this was a moment to live up to that.

Big features

• • Shorter cannon load time
• • Tighter cooldown between shots
• • You can now use hold while a bubble is still in flight
• • Scroll mouse wheel to use hold (this one feels really good!!)
• • Bubble Hits now 800% more satisfying

Developer Thoughts

This update is a really important one for me. Bubbits controls felt alright before, but I always felt like they could be even more tight.

Prior to the big netcode update earlier this year, it was technically not possible to have players taking actions in a quicker succession. Now that it is possible, I am so happy that I can tighten up the controls to the next level, even in Multiplayer!

If you encounter any issues, join us on Discord or get in touch via the Feedback button! It is always a bit frightening to make changes to core systems, but if these changes make the game better in the long run, I want to keep going for them. Thank you for being a part of the Bubbits family, even before our v1.0 launch!
