What it is
Bubbles drift up the screen over a sky. Tap one and it is gone: a small pop, a bit of vibration, a ring of droplets thrown outward. Drag a finger through the field and it clears a path. Tilt the phone and the field drifts toward the raised edge.
That is the whole toy. Nothing is waiting for you when you come back.
About one bubble in five has something to say, and flashes a short line as it goes. The lines are part written and part made up on the spot, so the field keeps its own small remarks going without ever repeating itself at you.
One tap to set the mood
Four chips at the top of settings. Each one writes several settings at once, so you never have to go hunting.
Calm
The quiet end. The emptiest field, less motion, no vibration, and a drag that pushes bubbles aside instead of popping them.
Normal
The app exactly as it ships. Whatever you change, this is always the way back.
Chaos
The loud one. The fullest field, and the screen itself starts misbehaving when you pop fast enough.
Kids
The one you tap before handing the phone over. Child-safe words, and it offers a screen lock. It asks first.
Choose what it says
Four sets of words, exactly one on at a time. The sets never mix, which is what lets Kids mean Kids. A tone switch runs across all of them: sincere, or sarcastic.
General
For any kind of day.
FreeKids
Nonsense, safe on both tones, for when a young child is holding the phone.
FreeNSFW
For a day that earned it. It swears at the day, never at you.
PaidOffice meeting
The meeting, and the end of the meeting.
PaidChoose what a bubble is made of
What it is made of decides what popping one does.
Bubble
Soap film. They drift through each other, and a pop scatters droplets.
FreeGlass
Glass balls. They sink, knock into each other, and a pop shatters them.
PaidBalloon
Party balloons on strings. They nose each other aside, and a pop bursts them.
PaidWhat it looks like
Things you can turn on
- Swipe to pop. On to begin with, and off under Calm. With it off, a drag pushes bubbles aside like water.
- Blow to stir. Blow at the phone and bubbles lift and gather.
- Shout to pop. Yell and a handful burst, largest first, never the whole field.
- Speak phrases. The lines are read aloud, in whichever voice your phone already uses.
- Screen lock. Settings goes away, and getting out takes a two-second hold, then your fingerprint, PIN or pattern.
- Reduce stimulation. Fewer surprises, less motion, a quieter field.
The microphone never opens until you switch it on, and it closes when you leave the app. Nothing it hears is recorded, kept or sent.
What it costs
€1.00
One payment unlocks everything paid, forever: the NSFW and Office meeting words, the Glass and Balloon materials, and anything paid added later.
No subscription. No second purchase. No coins. Everything else is free.
What it does not do
- No accounts, and nothing to sign up for.
- No ads.
- No analytics and no tracking. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- No streaks, no daily rewards, no notifications asking you to come back.
- It works with no internet, except to make the one purchase.
Nothing here ships as artwork or sound files either. Every bubble is drawn and every pop is made up on your phone as it happens, which is why the app is small and why no two sessions sound quite the same.
