3D Ecco-like - Find and break all 20 of the bubble loops!

Created for Global Game Jam 2025 ( Theme: 'Bubble' )

Inspired by a clip about dolphins playing with bubbles from BBC nature and then scoped down massively because I'm just one person. This is my first time ever doing a solo game jam, and I've only been learning UE5 for a year and oh my god this was a lot T_T.

Feels smoother on controller ( Tested on wired 360 )

Controls -

WASD/Left stick - Move forwards/ side to side

Mouse/Right Stick - Move up/down

Space/Down face button - Dash attack

Tips-

If you're a spider monkey who craves frustration, try to get all of the big bubble rings using the Funbox™, I cannot guarantee it's actually possible.

YMMV on specs and performance, I've got a 2060 so if you've got above that it should be fine.

Credits -

Created in Unreal Engine 5.5

Big thanks to the various people on Bsky who chipped in when I needed some UE help!
