SAFARI TIME! https://popsafari.net/

Hey all!

Once again, @foggy oasis made a thing. In fact he made it rather quickly but well both him and the rest of the wizards kinda love it. We need You to help test it through, find bugs, find oddities, let us know what you like and what you didn't!

Many thanks in advance! The best bug reports / engagers plus the highest score will win our everlasting gratitude!

Cheers 🫧 🧋

PopSafari is a relaxing bubble shooting puzzle game where you must pop the bubbles to free the animals and achieve a high score!

Thanks for checking this out pals, this has been fun to work on, i hope you dig it 😄

i almost got that fire thing but i lost

foggy oasis

ooh you getting better tho!

i just got a power up from a hippo
it gave me like a rainbow ball

#

this is hard idk how i am supposed to stop the bubbles from fallin on me

owo what dis

pine vector
#

did not expect to hear the blueshell noise lol

shy parrot
#

lol

#

this game is really hard

#

it feels like i have no chance to stop those bubbles

pine vector
#

main problem i have is that sometimes you just need to tank the drops

#

sometimes you just have to shoot knowing it wiill drop and theres nothing you can do

foggy oasis
#

yeah theres a certain degree of needing to think a couple moves ahead - if you have a green and you see you have a red next, its better to use your green to open up a possible red match, vs. just using your green and not thinking about what it opens up

pine vector
#

yeah fs

foggy oasis

a feedback of mine is that it is not intuitive in mobile how to get the bubble to aim

#

yeah all thoe things fall in the end

#

not enough powerups in my opinion

warped epoch
shy parrot
#

its really hard idk how you guys get those high scores

dreamy sinew
#

Hmmmm I guess I could give some tips...

The main goal is to get bubbles to FALL, NOT to pop them. Focus on trying to drop asmany balls as you can

shy parrot
#

oh

foggy oasis
#

yeah you want to clear ABOVE the bottom row if you can, then you can make massive chunks fall to the floor

pine vector
#

what if instead of it just being 2 hits to drop, its one hit gets you into red then you can replenish a bar or smth to get out of red

#

idk

dreamy sinew
#

Thats too easy!

pine vector
foggy oasis
#

@pine vector yeah i had that for a bit but it made it wayy to easy youd never ever die hah

shy parrot
#

becos i litterly only got to 1 powerup and i have been playing for like 30 min

#

(becos im bad also)

foggy oasis
#

interesting i can try to look at making it more generous at first and scale back as you get better.

dreamy sinew
shy parrot
#

your tip really helped

#

im better now

dreamy sinew
#

😄

foggy oasis
#

top priority should be trying to free an animal then once you have one, you want to start 'freeing' bubbles so they land on the floor and the animal can eat em giving you powerups

#

Anyways after that 4 hour round (I am not joking please save me), I assume there’s a bit of leeway for shots if they seem wonky cause it will almost always benefit the player if there’s a gap you have to shoot into

#

No bugs that I saw, which hey that’s great (I did play on pc and I assume you should play on pc)

#

However after like 200k the game gets realllll repetitive
Genuinely failed on purpose because I didn’t want to play anymore

stable vessel
#

yea i could tell given your stacked power ups :P

#

feedback i have is that it would be nice to know exactly how each power up works by hovering over them (or just a popup that you can open that says) because it takes a while to learn them by using them

stiff rune
#

I still haven’t completely grasped them, ironically

#

Or maybe like in the menu when you press esc, have a power-ups section describing each one

stable vessel
#

because that would be significantly easier to implement

#

and it could always be updated later

i don't understand lightning
the fire makes a horizontal line of break, bomb go boom, sticky bomb stick and go boom when you hit again, bomb with hat(?) explodes a line up, the rainbow pops all colors it touches, the ball of brown with cracks makes like an earthquake in small area

#

i thought lightning was hop from same color to same color and break it but idk

reasonable tho

#

my dumb ahh cant be fucked going higher

foggy oasis
stiff rune
#

To be fair I don’t think it should be expected of someone to play the game for 30 minutes a round or more because of the type of game it is

#

I would say that at a certain amount, the animals can’t eat any more food

#

Because otherwise you can get stacked with enough powers where you are invincible if you either strategize enough or get lucky with colors

#

I really do like the fact that you have the choice between two balls, but the fact that you have a choice makes the game last much longer due to better odds the color you have will end up as a combo

i lowkey forgot u can pause

stiff rune
#

Genuinely played it so long I was completing a lab report while playing the game

foggy oasis
#

hahah - will be making some balance stuff so hopefully late game becomes a little more challenging.

stable vessel
#

it just fizzles and does nothing

dreamy sinew
stable vessel
#

oh true

#

maybe an idea would be for it to pop one color throughout the board by jumping lightning to it? idk it just feels like the worst power up by a lot rn

#

or just have it shoot lightning in 2 random directions

foggy oasis
#

its on my list to improve lightning. i like the 'chain' idea it might be a nice powrup to chain through a bunch of a single color - so if you shoot it at a red, it chains through all nearby red to destroy them. and if you shoot it while its in the top, it just picks a color at random and chains through it with slightly less effectiveness.

stable vessel
#

a notable downside of removing a single color from the board is, i hope obvious without me saying it

#

(if you get that color in your bubble launcher after you do the lightning it is actively detrimental)

dreamy sinew
#

Well it probablywouldnt hit EVERY bubble of a color haha\

#

But maybe all of them within like, a 4 bubble radius

stable vessel
#

oh random idea again, if when you activated the lightning, the target of the lightning would be the color of the bubble you replaced. or if you hit it when it's up top, the color you hit it with. though that adds more complexity so idk

foggy oasis
#

i think it would just need some strategy to make sure youre not popping a color with lighting that you need. so if you have a red bubble in your NEXT slot, you wouldnt want to shoot lightning at RED cuz it might reduce the chances of being able to use the red bubble

severe sigil
#

Yeah I kinda like it being hyper powerful and clearing all of one color. I guess you could just tweak the rarity if it was too OP

stable vessel
#

random idea again: thought it would be nice to get some kind of bonus on a "clear! +10,000 points" like maybe a unique power up that lets you clear your current bubble launcher and get new bubbles (maybe guaranteed to not be the colors of the previous ones) or maybe a stacking multiplier? idk

#

(maybe there is a bonus already (besides the obvious 10k) and i'm just too focused on the bubble popping to notice)

#

i go for clears cause they are satisfying and an encouraging pat on the back to the player but thinking about it more it seems they might not be worth it?

#

instead of cleaning you could just purposely not clear when given the chance to and keep the bubbles up top

#

sorry for my ramblings filling the chat

stiff rune
#

For endurance runs, clears are not the method

stable vessel
#

one bonus of the clears is letting you drop more bubbles to your animals because you can't do that when there are not bubbles being dropped

#

clears give me like the satisfaction of a tetris and from my personal experience are the single most brain-happy action in the game

#

(aside from maybe clutching a skill shot off the wall bounce to save the game)

#

in conclusion i feel clears should be proportionally good to the run as they are to making brain-happy feelings

foggy oasis
# stiff rune For endurance runs, clears are not the method

why do you say that? i am very interested in figuring out how to make clears more valuable for sure, since i think in a way that becomes an interesting challenge / extra 'puzzle' on how to get clear when youre close. I usually save powerups so i can use them to clear tbh but i guess there is a VERY heavy balance towards feeding animals right now. but i am gonna make animals a little harder to get full, so powerup poop from them will be a little more rare.

foggy oasis
#

I absolutely agree and want to make clears more valuable / satisfying since i definitely feel like my goal was to make that more of a long term target of late game especially.

#

i was thinking that a nice "SPECIAL" powerup you could get from a clear is that it drops a "PAINT BALL" which you can use to cause a splat of a single color across a bunch of balls in a radius. So if you get a paint ball and shoot it at a red ball, it will "splat" red and turn all the balls around it into red balls, making them easier to clear. Something like this would be ONLY given when you get a clear and imo can become quite valuable especially if you have long branches etc as you can basically create a "matching cluster" anywhere you want

stiff rune
foggy oasis
#

ah i see what youre saying so basically a 'clear' is not worth doing cuz all it does it suddenly make it harder again

stiff rune
#

Yeah

foggy oasis
#

what if it gave more points and / or better reward

stiff rune
#

Though it’s not hard at all to get rid of the stuff after a clear, just makes it slightly more risky

foggy oasis
#

i bascially want to make YOU want to do clears 😄 thats my new mission

dreamy sinew
#

Still, 10k is a tonne of points in comparison to normal matches, and more bubbles = more points and more animals and more powerups. A special powerup onlyfromaclear could be nice, but if people want to avoid it for endurance, thats more time playing ;D

stiff rune
#

I am curious if you made it instead of when you mess up the bubbles go down, made it so that it already originally goes down extremely slowly and when you make a couple of mistakes it increases that

#

Continuous downwards movement would be chill tho

#

But a higher fire rate would also have to be implemented

foggy oasis
#

Yeha that is definitely fun a path to go, maybe a separate game mode thats more like 'action mode' since it would be way more intense. Id still want to keep the chill mode since its better for just like having in the background and popping bubbles as you like watch youtube or listen to an ebook or something

#

You know... I gotta say how freaking happy i am to be on discord talking about game design of something im actively working on, it means SO FREAKING MUCH to me to have your guys' feedback on this stuff, @stiff rune @stable vessel - this is my favorite part of making games (coming up with cool solutions to make it more fun) so grateful to have you checking the game out and giving feedback like this

#

just testing and refining and will have it up this afternoon!

stable vessel
#

i realized a cool tech with the sticky bomb. when you have a sticky, a color you don't like, and a color you can use to drop stuff, you can use the sticky instead of the color you dont like to stick it to the thing you're gonna drop and then drop it with the other bubble to get the sticky back.

#

the first time i did it it worked though

#

it would net you the same as just poping it but you would have a new color in your second bubble slot

stable vessel
#

(was it because the bomb was touching the color group that got popped?)

stable vessel
#

once you start looking for places to incorporate this tech you can use it a lot

dreamy sinew
#

Thats how the sticky bomb is intended to be used, but hoenstly I found that it was jsut as useful to stick it to something and then shoot it with another bubble,cuz then it gets rid of two bad bubbles 😛

stable vessel
#

not intuitive

dreamy sinew
stable vessel
dreamy sinew
#

The way youre using it to essentially kill a bad shot bubbleis not intended, but also not bad 😛

foggy oasis
# stable vessel this seems to be the case

yeah if a match matches next to a sticky bomb it should blow up. right now it only works on sticky bombs that are SHOT (not ones that appear int he top) and im trying to decide if i need to either:

A) make it so a SHOT sticky bomb throbs to show its ready to blow, or
B) Make it so a sticky bomb spawned in the top bubbles also blows up next to a match.
C) or do both

stable vessel

#

oh no biggie, was just curious what was going on. ill check out duck duck go -- not sure why it wouldnt load the background!

it might be my school's wifi filter

i love you guys are finding these strats, there was definitely a bunch of that in mind when i was putting the mechanics together

Ngl stickys best use is just as fodder

stable vessel
#

both incognito and duckduckgo's version of it are not loading background

dreamy sinew
#

Her settings button is missing too 😮

stiff rune
#

@foggy oasis does this have some smart targeting at all?

#

I have to assume it does

stable vessel
stiff rune
#

Otherwise some shots should not be possible

foggy oasis
#

a bit of smart taegeting yeah it tries to be a bit more lenient on shots and where they land like if its 1 px off from sticking to a wall but its clear youre trying to get it down a narrow chamber into a tight spot, i will prioritize the tight spot a bit

stiff rune
#

Gotcha

#

I will say I should record some absolutely ridiculous shots you can do because of that

#

Cause there was one shot I vividly remember going off the wall and going into a completely horizontal chamber and somehow reaching the end

foggy oasis
#

fuck yeah honestly it just reached a point where it kinda 'felt right' to me, so i havent touched it since, ive also seen a few magical moments liek that and its always a nice surprise

stiff rune
#

I was in a vc with some friends and they just kept hearing me laugh my ass off because of some of the shots

stable vessel
# foggy oasis Check THIS OUT!!! Way cooler lightning effect 😄

because of the bright screen flash and the bubbles poping instantly it is hard to see the patern of the bubbles popped (that it is choosing only one color). to a new player they might think it is random. maybe delay the poping so they can see the lightning jump to bubble and have the bubble pop shortly after

#

or have powerup descriptions in pause menu

foggy oasis
stiff rune
#

Powerup descriptions is something that would help so much

foggy oasis
stiff rune
#

And also if we can get rid of some of the clutter at the bottom in high point games

pure compass
#

wsg matt

stiff rune
#

Saying stuff like a powerup limit or a maximum amount of “stuff” on the screen at one time

foggy oasis
stable vessel
#

as far as i can tell the animals just much orbs and poop powerups

#

munch

stiff rune
#

The animals need a calorie limit

foggy oasis
#

yeah id like there to be somethign more to them especially as their numbers increase

#

yeah each time they poop a powerup they need more food so its kinnnnda balanced but i think it can be upped way more, but i also want to just do somethign with "old aged" animals to get some other benefit for them somehow.

stable vessel
#

make old (old determinied by food eaten) animals slower so new animals who need less food to synthesize a powerup can get more food?

#

also i notice some food is on the edge and not eaten ever

stiff rune
#

Why is my first thought somehow make this game into a roguelike

dreamy sinew
#

Early versions had an animal go into a "cool-down" after pooping where they slept

stable vessel
#

earlygame i sometimes have to wait for them to eat for a power or i lose the game

foggy oasis
#

I KINDA WANNA MAKE IT INTO A ROGUELIKE haha... im thinking of ways.

foggy oasis
#

or if not this game, then another one, or an alt mode

stiff rune
#

Should I expect this game to be mobile accessible?

foggy oasis
#

it doesnt really work on mobile yet but its on my todo list

#

it kinda works but its not great

stiff rune
#

Idk if its just because of how my phone does things but it opens up a tab using safari/chrome without opening the app itself
Makes it so that I cannot aim, but I can shoot

#

With default positioning being ever so slightly tilted up and then full right, it gives me 11x combos when I get a combo which is funny as all get out

foggy oasis
#

aiming on mobile is kinda weird atm -- you can tap left side of the screen to aim left, right to aim right and then center to shoot, but its kinda buggy

dreamy sinew
#

And swipe down to change bubbles

foggy oasis
#

hahah yeah i kinda wanted to leave in the no limit on those wall bounce combos since its pretty risky and hard to land where you want it but so satisfying if you do it successfully

#

ah yeha swipe up or down to switch

dreamy sinew
#

I admittedly have not gotten far enough to unlock an animal for powerups but maybe you can tap a powerup to load it? unsure

foggy oasis
#

yea i think you can tap a powerup and it loads normally... but i expect some weird edge case to not work or somethign cuz i didnt spend more than a few minutes on it really

# next rivet <@309368520393883649> what do you know about this?

a suggestion i have relating to making scoring feel more rewarding to the player

#

when you drop a large number of bubbles at a time, instead of scoring 100 points ber bubble that falls down, have it score 100+10(n) where n is the number of bubles that fell down before it as a result of a single bubble lanch

#

so if you manage to drop 5 bubbles down it would be 100 + 110+ 120...

foggy oasis
#

nice yeah i like that. just a little extra boost for big combos.

stable vessel
#

more brain happy for the player

foggy oasis
#

hahah totes

#

i like your game design thinking 😄

stable vessel
#

hahah yea, games are about making the brain feel good. if your game doesnt do that im not playing

foggy oasis
#

working on the reward for getting a clear. Will make it a bit fancier (confetti, cheering, etc) then make the "potion" more obvious before it falls down to the ground.

stable vessel
#

WOAH

#

HELL YEA

foggy oasis
#

haha - i nerfed the radius a bit so its not so big, but i think those "potions" will be verrrry valuable for strategies if you save up more than one of them at a time ;D

stable vessel
#

high combo + wall bounces plsplspls

foggy oasis
#

yeah hahah i was able to get a 350,000 point combo in one shot using potions lol

#

i just wanna test things a bunch more before making them live but ill have this stuff all up in the morning!

stable vessel
#

"350,000 point combo"? isnt the combo a multiplier determined by the number of pops in a row

foggy oasis
#

there are 2 multipliers actually

stable vessel
#

wall bounces yes

foggy oasis
#

one is group pops in a row, and the second is wall bounces so you can combine to get epic scores

stable vessel
#

and number of bubbles in thr group

foggy oasis
#

if you risk a multi wall bounce with a high combo you can get crazy crazy scores

really considering getting rid of the DOWNWARDS shoot. only cuz it would give me the ability to have more mechanics with the animal interactions. right now i dont want to make anything interactive underneath the danger line because it basically fucks up downward shooting if i do. but do we neeeeeed downward shooting?

stable vessel
#

i never shoot in between angles 90 and 270

#

except when i was trying to get the bubble to infinite bounce and it would be a tiny bit off target

#

(not infinite bounce but like 10+ bounce )

#

interactive stuff on the bottom is definitely worth losing half of the angle of the bubble launcher

Hi

Yeah im thinking it would be fun to trigger other things on the bottom that can break / eat bubbles to save you from death instead of just shooting.

New version in testing!

🚨 v0.23 🚨

DESIGN: Reworked the lightning powerup to be a color-chain popper.
DESIGN: Removed aiming down. Was too cluttered. Will open up more possibilities for animal interaction, etc.
DESIGN: Reward a Potion when getting a clear.
DESIGN: Potions convert large groups of blocks to a single color.
DESIGN: Sticky bombs throb to show volatility. Explode when something next to them matches (or when hit)
UI: Confetti on screen clears.
UI: Hover over animals to see their power bar.
UI: Added tutorial messages everywhere. Should appear once per play session, can be turned off in the settings.
UI: Hover over powerups to see what they do.
UI: Aim-Assist for first 15 shots, or turn it on indefinitely in settings. (While enabled, your high scores dont save)
BUGFIX: Animals wont leave bubbles uneaten on edges.
BUGFIX: I mean, so many bug fixes.

I think some isps are flagging the domain because it’s under 30 days old. It hopefully will resolve itself in a couple weeks when the domain is ‘old enough’ - sorry about that kind of a bummer

stable vessel
#

love the new aim asist option

#

tried messing with uncapping the frames and it made the game lag a bunch :P
i tried it because i remember on other games like apocalypse train the uncapped frame rate would give stupid buff to the speed of the dudes you were trying to save and i wanted to see if it would have gameplay altering results on pop safari

#

just lag though as far as i can tell.

#

ooh nice screenshake! (when the game is about to lose)

#

same with powerups it makes it look like it will stick on the spot next to the power but it will hit the power and explode the power or whatever

stable vessel
#

woah nice powerup swap if you click a powerup when you have one in your launcher

#

though it is not liekly to come up in normal gameplay i had to go out of my way to do this

#

also today i got a unexpected interaction wher ei was able to shoot a bubble through other bubbles im not sure what caused it and i couldnt get a repo while trying

#

lighting, quake, sticky bomb (as expected), and drill do this i think

#

new feature/content idea: you have a little basket you can drag around below the red line and catch bubble that fall saving them being consumed by the animals. bubbles that fall in the basket can charge stuff like a power up meter of a power you chose, or totally other things like it turns those bubbles into money to spend on upgrades like buy more bubble launcher carrying capacity?

#

also i think since the bubble launcher can only shoot above the red line now, it is a good time to make it so clicks below the line DONT shoot a bubble. this prevents stuff like mislicking to load a power and having a bubble fire by acident

#

also content idea for stuff on the bottom: you can click your animals to make them eepy and stop walking so other animals can munch food

#

maybe making animals eepy will be more useful when combined with other features

#

also there are five animals and six colors. if there were the same number of animals as colors each animal could have a favorite food. ( rhino, hippo, alligator, monkey, elephant ) & ( red, green, blue, yellow, purple, grey)

#

and then you could hand feed the animals their favorite food from the basket collection? giving them much more power up charging per food?

#

probably would be too much going on for a new player. maybe the basket is obtained like an animal and apears once by taking the place of the animal that would appear after the first clear

#

the basket might not be the way to go but i want to do stuff with the lil bubbles that fall down

next rivet
foggy oasis
#

hahah great feedback! ❤️ yeah i think next step will be to make it so you can interact with the animals and the bubbles more. im thinking like you can pick up bubbles to bring them closer to animals (click and drag) and or drag animals around, potentially even merge animals this way.

Ive been working on powerup synergies - like shooting one powerup at another to make a new effect. its been good but tricky to make sure im not breaking anything else. 😄

been fun coming up with cool combos

basically, you tap on the left side of the screen to inch the cannon left, right side to inch it right, middle to shoot, and you can swipe down to change your ball, but seriously, its not REALLY set upfor mobile, so if it feels clunky, please please try it on PC as well 😛

Ok one critique, I feel like there shouldn't be the quite literaly circle showing where your ball is going to go, otherwise you can never have mistakes imo other than being a bad puzzle solver

oh I only saw the first shot, checked the menu and it was turned off so I just quit the game

it doesn't seem like its the first five shots, maybe first five clears

its on for 5 shots I think, then it fades out every shot after til 15

yeah its a slow fade out to help people learn the game. if youre good at the game it will likely be gone by the first animal you free.

How does pop safari work? 🤨

vapid lodge
# alpine karma How does pop safari work? 🤨

Shoot your bubble at the other bubbles. If you hit a matching color to the one you shot (must hit at least 2 of the same color touching each other), then they pop! You want to pop as many bubbles at a time to earn more power-ups, animals, and points, so am wisely. You can also bounce your shots off of the walls for bonus points and hit some tricky shots to stay in the game! Also, you can right click to swap to the other ball in your cannon. If you don’t pop the bubbles fast enough (after every 2 misses, all the bubbles drop down 1 time) and they reach the red line near the bottom, which you will be warned about, you lose the game.

Trust me, it’s pretty simple, lol ✌️ blobhighfive Iloveyou

severe sigil
#

I will say powerups are MASSIVE - prioritise freeing an animal and then cutting off other bubbles making them drop to the ground

vapid lodge
#

Exactly

vapid lodge
#

@alpine karma yeah, animals turn “floor bubbles” (the ones that you get from making a chain of bubbles FALL instead of being popped) into power-ups that you can click to load and then fire them

#

They basically give you another chance if the bubbles are about to creep past the line without you being able to stop them
