It's basically the same game but more comfortable to play. But keyboard only.

There's a cheat for moving through the levels and unlimited invisibility. On the title screen you can enter a specific word (maybe the name of a older game??!) and there will be a thin grey line around the game screen to show you cheat mode is active.
if you need a hint fpr level 32:
- at the position of the wizard go up and leave the screen to the left
- arrived on the right side of the level leave the screen to the right
- get the eye
- leave the screen to the left
- get the key and head to the door
good luck!

Thank you very much!
It was the nr. 3 of the great collection

Glad you like Brek'n'Bubble!
BnB is significantly trickier in some places, and sometimes even impossible if you've blocked the bubbles or yourself with a rock. You can't coax the bubbles out. You just have to wait. That can take quite a while sometimes. But all the levels are doable.
The game is also quite old and doesn't have any built-in cheats or trainers. Maybe I should change that?! We'll see.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Looks like I can remove the beta status!
My main priority is that the player enjoys the game! That's why I'm always trying to improve things wherever possible. Even my testers sometimes overlook details that someone else might notice or find annoying. Like I said, you get used to some details over time, and if you test daily, even the most awful controls become a breeze.
My next game will be an RPG. At least there won't be any annoying controls, but I'm sure there will be other things that come straight from hell, hahaha.
The controls don’t come straight from hell — maybe they took a detour through hell. That might be true. But the controls in https://natthrafn.itch.io/blocknbubble come straight from hell. You really have to experience that 😉
Because I’ve been testing the game constantly, I’m so used to it that it doesn’t really feel sluggish to me. I’ve tweaked it a bit, and maybe it plays better now. Version 4.0 is now available for download. Give that one a try. It may also help to change the game speed with the G key. That might help.
I don’t actually own a joystick, so this is basically a blind flight for me. However, since many C64 players prefer using a joystick, I added that feature. Personally, I moved on from joysticks more than 30 years ago… but it was a tough withdrawal back then hahaha
The bubbles’ movement is now deterministic and no longer randomly bouncing around. I didn’t really mind either way. In general, I actually think the game turned out far too easy… you can almost play through it in one go.
The Mac/Win/Linux version in particular has become quite easy. But maybe that’s because I’m used to playing with the keyboard.
Stages and/or levels is confusing, that’s true. I hadn’t really noticed it. It has now been changed to “Level” throughout.
Thanks a lot as well for the positive criticism!
Try to have some fun with the game anyway and let me know if it's more playable for you now.
Yes, Wine has been available for everyday use on Macs since 2007. Before that, it was more for nerds with too much time on their hands. :-)
It was a bit fiddly (thanks to AI, which solved the problem in seconds :-) ) but now it works perfectly, even on Apple Silicon.
I know I'm repeating myself, but it's a great game!
