This was nice to play! It's actually very similar to a game idea I had a while ago, so it was cool to see it.
For feedback, it feels way too easy, maybe add stronger enemies that spawn with bubbles. Also, I would definitely add diagonal movement.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The bubble gets stronger as it collects other bubbles
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did the code by myself and most of the assets expect the internal icon of the buttons were from kenny assets

This was cool to play. I like the idea here and after I got used to the controls they started to make sense. Lots of potential, like others have said.

Pull Yourself TogetherA really cool concept and with some more polish would be really fun. Some small things that could add a lot are better sprites/background, camera scaling with size, and difficulty increasing overtime. Really cool game that has huge potential!

Slime RaceOk, so this game is clearly far from finished, but it's probably the best concept I've seen in the jam so far. If I found this cleaned up in the app store I'd definitely download it, and maybe even pay for it. You should definitely keep working on this one. I think you're really onto something.

Stronger TwogetherFun game idea! You should try to add some wiggle to the bubbles for some nice game feel maybe even a popping animation and a rainbow-like background similar to what bubbles make.

Propaganda and RebellionThat was fun, reminded me of io games. I think the game could use something in the background, as at times it can be hard for the player to tell if their character is moving. I also think the game could use audio, it feels a bit weird having a menu sound and nothing else. Also, I would prefer it if the controls were explained when you start the game, rather than in the menu (but if you want to keep it there, please make the text bigger). I think this game could be really fun with online multiplayer, if you want to go that route. Great job!

Join Me on This BeachGreat concept and visuals! I have to agree with the others about the zoom and movement.

The Power Of ThreeAgree with Mariothedog that logarithmic zooming would be better & more natural (basically instead of adding/subtracting a constant to the zoom you multiply/divide it), and that diagonal movement would be nice, or maybe movement should perform acceleration (and not constant velocity) e.g. like on a real spaceship. The game also started lagging a little when I got about 15 guns on me. Nevertheless, the idea is very cool & it was real fun having so many guns and shooting all around, great job!

To Gather And Fighta great implementation. i think this could become like those io games! you should go for it!

Slice 'Em Up!-
You can see some float precision issues with the zoom text, I’d suggest rounding it: https://gyazo.com/519300f2d5df4070677dc6fe0d77bd14
-
There’s no frame of reference when nothing else is on the screen so when the player moves you can’t actually tell that they’re moving
-
I was quite confused at first
-
The movement feels clunky as you can’t move diagonally
-
The shooting bubble seems a bit buggy in terms of position: https://gyazo.com/40bc3018e59e22a7cfabfd022f2f2a4d

The art is pretty clean
-
There should be a limit on how much you can zoom in/out. If you zoom out enough you can get into the negatives. I also think zooming would be better if it was scaled logarithmically instead
-
Some music and some more audio would be nice
Really enjoyed the game, making the bubbles stronger together! For some feedback, for a longer game jam you can create some art but the kenny assets work well with the game.

Reddit vs. Wallstreet!Interesting game. it really fits the theme. Never though I would say that but some music would be nice.
