Show HN: BubbleByte, Open-Source SFML Incremental/Idle Bubble-Popping Cat Game
store.steampowered.comHello HN! Today I published my second open-source (and commercial) game on Steam.
BubbleByte is an incremental/idle/clicker game with tower defense elements that I built with my girlfriend — all inspired by my cat Byte’s fascination with soap bubbles.
In short: you start as a lone bubble popper, earn money by building up clicking combos, and purchase upgrades and cats. As the game progresses and you discover more types of cats, the automation aspect kicks in: by strategically arranging cats of different types in the right way, you can start earning a lot of money very quickly!
There is a prestige mechanic that grants game-breaking permanent upgrades, and a map exploration mechanics that unlocks legendary cats with unique minigames and mechanics.
It is built on top of SFML (more precisely, my VRSFML fork) and ImGui, all in Modern C++.
I'd be happy to hear what you think!
