I had wanted to make a bubble wrap app... · A virtual bubble wrap that is not just a bunch of static bubble images. · Each bubble should morph and pop naturally in response to finger touch. · Even the popped bubbles or the semi-circular bubbles at the edges should morph by touch. · Sound effects are triggered based on the movement of the virtual bubble wrap. · Haptic feedback are generated based on the state of bubble. …… A lot of thought were put into making the experience more realistic in every aspect. On top of that, it can transform into a variety of materials and styles: - Original - Balloon - Tinfoil - Liquid metal - Cyberpunk style - Glass - Ice This is not a competitive game. All you do is popping the bubbles. Therefore it can be as relaxing and uneventful as a real-life bubble wrap. Consider purchasing this if you are either: · Feeling bored and don’t have a real bubble wrap around you. · Wanting to de-stress with a bubble wrap app that technically draws your attention away from anxiety and onto something you never think of. · Wondering how simulated bubbles will react to your touching, shaking and blowing. · Seeking inspiration from random weird stuff. · Appreciating niche things that people strive to create for no reason. · Thinking the app may not get frequent use but also realizing it is how frequently you would play with a real bubble wrap, which is also a part of the simulation. · Wanting to support the developer who may come up with something more useful than this in future. Features: · A range of bubble wrap visual styles with corresponding sound effects. · Haptic feedback(vibration) that adjusts according to the touch with bubbles. This feature only works on devices that support vibration. · Blow detection: Bubble wrap can swing when you blow air towards the phone. This cannot be enabled with vibration. · Using preset 360 images or rear camera image as the background. · Instant burst: Check this if you want an immediate pop. · Static sheet: If enabled, the sheet will not swing, which also makes it easier to pop bubbles in the top area. · Screenshot: Tap the bottom-right button to take a screenshot and save it to library. The photo also reveals the number of popped bubbles.
