iOS anti-stress app: pop bubbles, lo-fi music and haptic feedback
Main features

- Combos and special bubblesFrom x3 to x100, with golden bubbles, mega bubbles and frenzy phases: chaining fast completely changes the rhythm of a run.
- Eight power-upsBomb, freeze, magnet, double points, and for advanced players shield, slow motion and multi-pop.
- Twenty-three visual themesClassic, Galaxy, Neon, Volcanic, Aurora: each skin changes colours and effects, and with them the mood of the game.
- Season, leagues and rankingsTwenty season tiers, thirteen leagues from Beginner to Eternal, twenty-seven badges, and worldwide rankings through Game Center.
Technical challenges
- Sixty frames per second, alwaysHundreds of bubbles, particles and animations at once. In a game, the smallest stutter is immediately visible, unlike in a regular app.
- Live scoring that stays readableCombos, multipliers and special bubbles stack up. The player has to understand why the score is climbing as it happens, not afterwards.
- Haptics on the beatVibration has to match the pop on screen to the millisecond. Off by a fraction, it gets in the way instead of helping.
- Relaxing without being dullA stress-relief game stuffed with nudges becomes stressful. Missions and rewards had to be dosed to bring players back without pressuring them.
