Great game love the gameplay and how the tank looks eventually. And not to bitch cus itll be hard to do, but this game would be perfect with netplay.

This game is fun, I love bouncing around to the different bubbles. I also love the way my bubbles look all built up. I have to agree with the critiques others have said though. Different colors, different upgrades and so on. This is still a solid time waster and very entertaining.

A few more things:
Autofire really would be nice, maybe a Boxhead-like solution where it's unlocked later in the game... I'm guessing a 10 minute game can rack up over 1000 clicks...
Also, the soundeffect for powerup pickups has a tendency to produce audio clipping, especially when there are a lot of them. Something as simple as lowering the volume should fix that problem. I think this is extra important because this is one of the few flash games AT ALL that has reasonably well mixed and leveled sound.

First off, the (presumable) inspiration for this game is nearly rip-off. It's basically flOw with guns.
Moving right along those lines, this can't really be considered a "game", since there is no winner or loser. That's not a critique, but I do think that a scoring system (at the very least) or a challenge mode would suit the competitive nature of Kongregate much better.
As for the design, my critique is mostly cosmetic. With such simple design, it gets confusing with the bubbles. The small enemies look like powerups, and the enemies shots look exactly like your own... a few color changes should fix that, and you don't even have to create a single new graphic.

i agree with the other comment, this is an amazing game, and i love the evolving aspect, but there should be more evolutions, a bar to show how far till the next evolution, and online multyplayer, then this amazing game, would be the best game ive ever played

Very good game, but needs some work. I think you should add an 'evolution bar' to tell how close your bubble is to getting bigger. Also, there should be more evolutions.

awesome. Pity the game just stops once you reach a certain size. could be the best game on this site if it kept going.

Lacks serious potential. Needs more weapons. Needs hmuch harder people too. Make the end of the world a cliff. Just cause.

Yeah, to everyone who says they never managed to die: You're right, you can't. It says so in the directions right at the beginning of the game.

great idea, great graph., but i see no point in this game, i even never managed to die... after 25 minz.. i simply got bored

this game is recommended for people who have too much time on their hands, and I love it, autofire mouse thing plz 5/5

Great game but mabe it would be more challenging if we could actually die and it would of been cool to have scores too

To be really honest with you, I rreally think this game is overrated. The graphics are very nice, and it's very well designed, but the game concept is just too simple and repetitive. Rated it 3, though.

I agree with tigerdude for the most part, the sound effects can get repetitive and annoying, if you had different gun sound effects when you got to a higher mutation, it would be a bit less repetitive.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Great game. I love the variety, and how even though it never seems to end, you almost never WANT the game to end. Good job. Although you could make your guy change a little more. Like mutate more and change the weapons more and stuff.

Nice! Procedural is where it's at!
If I had to make one request, it would be to be able to hold the mouse button down for autofire.

it gets really boring after a while... once you go to the maximum upgrade (small gun + large gun + thick bubble shield) there's not much interesting going on... you just keep shooting from bubble to bubble until the ends of the world...
The second time I played the game I got the max upgrade very fast (I just kept spiraling around the starting bubble so difficulty increases the slowest... got a lot of bubble-only worlds this way)... then I just started looking for worthy adversaries (keep to one direction), and after a few of the big ones I got bored...

gah very fun but i was distressed to find out that i couldn't become bigger!!! sequel/patch allowing more growth please

My hand really hurts, but great game! The first few levels were the best IMO, because it feels like you are one of the first lifeforms to emerge among matter

Nice game, What I don't like is that if we click too much it lags (even if I have already set to low quality)
My tank is the biggest I guess. :) it's huge! That makes it a easy target

This was one of the best games I've played but, my bubble evolution did seem to just stop. Did anyone get pas the bubble with one big gun and one small gun?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Wait
I have a suggestion.
How about something that lets you know how many bubbles you have, and bubbles to next level thingy?

It's a great game, but I'm afraid it's going to give me Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Seriously, am I the only one who gets viscious cramps in his mouse hand from playing this?

HeroInteractive, you made a great game here. The idea was great, the form of combat was fun, and I can't wait for the next game!
Definitely more forms, powerups, all that good stuff already said.

this really was a great game, i enjoyed playing it, but i think that when you gewt to a cxertaint point, you stop growing. that happened to me, so i guess i won!

MrOsmose: Absolutely, I totally agree. In Bubble Tanks 2, there will be a TON more content. Way more enemies, and way more upgrades with choosable "paths" to evolve.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Thx HeroInteractive, better played with controls changed ;) ...
But maybe you could think about more evolutions... Where is the fun of creating 8000 battlefield if you are at your biggest size after something like 20? (1 big & 1 small "fire bubble") or creating "bonuses" along with more aggressive opponents..
Other than that i really like the concept... of the game ! nice work dude !
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
very expansive world, good concept
very easy however, and the evolution ends quickly, even though I still had enough fun to reach three of the four corners of the map (yeah I was that bored)
more evolutions, and harder enemies, with some kind of way to beat the game would make this a top notch game
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
seems to be fine, but can't play well :
Please think to make more "standard" controls like arrows, everybody doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard. :s

The idea of this game is quite **good**. However, as anyone her has already posted, there are a couple of things that _lack_: Score, "evolution indicator", a world map, ...
