This game was made for the Ludum Dare 54 game jam, with the theme 'Limited Space' and submitted to the Compo, which only gives you 48 hours to make a game and it has to be done solo.
Overview
Paula Poppet is a top-down survival shooter in which you are confined to a very small arena to fend off a horde of 15 waves! But wait, THERE’S MORE! Your only method of attack compresses the world into bubbles that you can then fire at your enemies and go KaBOOOOOOOOOM! This catastrophic attack sends debris and tiles everywhere AND displaces ALL objects. You can even bubble and launch yourself!! Can you survive a constantly changing arena that heavily limits your movement?
The waves are randomly generated and get harder over time. You'll gain different bubble shapes and heart pickups throughout the game.
Controls

KNOWN ISSUES:
These could easily be fixed, but I decided it best to just upload the jam version. :)
- Score does not reset when hitting replay.
- Wave counter is a little weird.
- Enemies can sometimes hit themselves.
