"JellyBubble" DEVBLOG#3
[h3]Before we get started, a quick heads-up:Our playtest is now open, and you can join anytime.[/h3][p][/p][p]Soap[/p][p]In the previous devlog, we talked about the basic function of Soap.[/p][p]But if you think it’s just something to collect…you might be underestimating it.[/p][p] [/p][p]In Jelly Bubble, soap can actually be launched as a projectile.[/p][p]And it doesn’t just fly blindly.[/p][p]It will automatically lock onto marked targets.[/p][p] [/p][p]Which means…[/p][p]The most aggressive player on the field?[/p][p]Yeah, they’re probably not getting away.[/p][p] [/p][p]In a way, this is intentional.[/p][p]The stronger you are, the more likely you are to get focused.[/p][p] [/p][p]But here’s the problem—[/p][p]If every soap just “hits once,” that would be pretty boring.[/p][p] [/p][p]So we decided to give them a bit more… personality.[/p][p]Right now, you might encounter a few types like these:[/p][p] [/p][p]Bomb Soap[/p][p]Simple and brutal.A direct hit will cause your opponent to drop extra soap.[/p][p]Land it successfully?Their inventory goes down… and so does their confidence.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Swap Soap[/p][p]Hit an opponent and instantly switch positions with them.[/p][p]IF you can find the right angle, this becomes extremely powerful.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Shield Soap[/p][p]This one activates when you’re being attacked by soap.[/p][p]It creates a temporary shield that blocks all negative effects.[/p][p]No panic. No damage. Just a clean denial.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]These changes make combat a little more… unpredictable (in a good way).It’s no longer just about who has more soap.[/p][p]Now you have to think:Do I save it and grow stronger…or use it right now and go all in?[/p][p]Because in the end,every piece of soap is a choice.[/p][p][/p][h3]PLAYTEST & Developer Challenge.[/h3][p]As more and more features come together, we’re getting ready to open a new round of playtests.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]BE THE FIRST JellyBubble PLAYER[/p][p]Here are some questions and answers about how the playtest will work.[/p][p][/p][p]I want to help improve JellyBubble, how can I participate in the playtest?[/p][p]The playtest will stay open for long time[/p][p]Just go to our Steam page and click “Request Access” under Join the Jelly Bubble Playtest.[/p][p]We’ll be inviting players continuously — so jump in and sign up![/p][p]![]()
