Pulputi is the first game published by Lommi Games originally created in 2021 for mobile platforms.
Short Description:
The game is meant to be a relaxing casual experience, kinda like popping bubble wrap but with additional features such as unlockable Achievements. It's not even possible to "lose" in the game so just start popping and try to create the biggest combo possible by clicking on same types of bubbles.
Origin of the project:
I saw my friend play Cookie Clicker and was curious about the "Clicker game" genre so after a bit of research decided I wanted to try and make one myself. The idea was tempting since the scope of the project is small and I wanted to publish something quick so the company portfolio would not be empty.
Design Goals:
- Aim to make the game a relaxing experience.
- Player can not lose.
- Don't handhold player too much. It's good if the game keeps players interested so they start to learn the systems of the game themselves.
- Make it work really well in mobile platforms. Screen size and orientation can be changed whenever.
- Pick up and play. It should take minimal time for the player to get playing after starting the app. Game saves automatically so it can be stopped and continued at any time.
Trivia:
Title name Pulputi comes from a song my friend made called "Pulputi" which is an electronic trance song. The name fit the theme of the game about popping bubbles so he let me to use it as the title name for the game. At one point it was considered that the song could be an IAP in the game.
Hope you check the game out and give feedback! Player feedback directly impacts new updates and games in the future.
