Bubble Sort
A small 1-level puzzle game about bubbles which recursively contain one another.
A variation on the recursive rooms mechanics of Patrick's Parabox, COCOON, Recursed, etc. I wanted to explore a variation which lets you easily visualize and modify the nested structure of rooms. Hope you enjoy! :)
Thanks to stream viewers for suggestions and feedback!

delightful! I only wish you didn't tell me how the gates work
I really enjoyed this! It was very cute and ultimately satisfying to solve ^^
I really liked this one! The combination of simple, clearly explained rules with outside-the-box thinking made it fun.
great game
i walked into the down arrow while holding the smiley face orb and i disappeared, can’t do anything now >.< undo would be good
Ahhh, thanks for reporting this bug, other people were encountering it and I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it! Just fixed! :)
awesome, thanks :)
Very cute concept, really enjoyed this!
Really nice game and concept!
Very good! I love patrick's parabox
Wonderful game, quite exquisite. It tickled my lil' indi game fancy.
very good!
nice short game! I solved it pretty quickly but I still enjoyed figuring out the tricks.
:)
This is a bite buggy - the character is gone it happend when using the spider bubble
The character and the green bubble dissapear
Thanks for reporting. I couldn't figure out how to trigger it, until someone just posted that it's when you press one of the up/down arrows while holding the orange creature in hand. Just fixed!
loved it, would pay and play for more levels
on mobile, it’s almost working but the framerate is too low and my phone is heated
Great Game! I laughed harder than I probably should when I saw the hand graphic
I love the idea Maybe you to turn this into a full game!
My braiiiin ! This is really cool.
wonderful :)
Yaaaay i did it! Fun brain teaser
very fun, my brain unlocked something when I figured out
spoiler
the spider-bubble could move up and down inside bubbles! Very creative :)
Nice and fun puzzle !
Unfortunately, it is possible to get softlocked when picking a bubble in a narrow area (like the 2x2 square in the bottom-left of the green bubble) and not being able thereafter to drop it at a proper entry point
Fix : Make "Shift+Arrow" reorient your character without moving ?
Or they could just add an undo button
very creative, love it
So cute and fun! I was convinced there was no solution for a moment there. Thanks so much :) I don't normally play games like these and will have to check out the ones mentioned. Since this one was so much fun!
I've conquered it.
Very Fun!
Fantastic final puzzle!
very clever! i liked it. wasnt too hard
I spent so long believing that I needed to somehow
get a room nested inside itself, so that it could be on 3 and 1 simultaneouslyThat was a lot of fun! Took me about 10 minutes, but it got me right back into the Parabox mindset :D
got it! really really fun. this makes me want to try LittleJS again!
So uh... I died somehow, my character is gone
Oh no! Thanks for reporting and for the screenshot. I can't seem to reproduce it, hmmm.
I think this happened while I was moving one space into another, the character did not make any sounds so I suspect it was stuck inside the walls (scary)
Someone just posted that it's when you press one of the up/down arrows while holding the orange creature in hand. Just fixed! Thanks again for reporting!
Nice little puzzle! Took me about 15 minutes, I enjoyed the moment of "that's it?" -> "wait I need to do that now?" -> "wait that's impossible" -> "ah-ha!".
My only complaint for this prototype is that it's a little hard to tell what's going on when multiple rooms are stacked vertically, due to how you zoom them in/out, but that's why it's a good thing the rooms are so simple and demand very little detail.
