Blow Something
A draw-and-guess game with bubbles as the paintbrush
Participating entry to Global Game Jam 2025, with the theme Bubble.
A draw-and-guess game with bubbles as the paintbrush. The player drags and pops the soap bubbles to paint, while the cyber kitten attempts to figure out these bubbly doodles. How can just three bubbles capture the vastness of the world? We believe that every player will find inspirations of their own. Bubbles always remind us of our past childhood memories; here, we try to recreate a slice of a mellow afternoon from the 2000s in pixel art.
Post-jam update one year later: bubble highlight; English support; extended word list; screenshot. The image recognition model was also migrated from Gemini 1.5 Flash (which had already been retired) to the newly-released Qwen 3.5.
The web version contains a few mysterious techniques (e.g., accessing network in browser-version LÖVE, calling WebAssembly, saving screenshots, as well as the bubble’s rendering algorithm), for reference to the interested audience.
