There's not much more I can critique that hasn't already been said, but I will say it feels really difficult to take any damage and I think enemy bullets should be a different color. Could see this becoming really fun if you keep working on it though!

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

That 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!

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.

Have a video too
The game is very fun. I wish there was a way distinguish enemies and normal bubbles. At the beginning, I ran into a couple enemies.

An Unlikely ComboThe gameplay is unique I could definitely see this as a way to build a game.
