Bubble Tea: Messenger was made for the Global Game Jam 2025 with the theme "Bubble". We went in the direction of a "friend-group bubble" and so we created a simulation game where the player manages a group chat and chooses who would be best to add to their "bubble".
To add character and personality to the game, we incorporated an early 2000s inspired aesthetic together with lo-fi sounds and music. Due to the relaxed pace of gameplay, we wanted the game to feel warm and inviting while the player is navigating the menus. Therefore, each member of the team created a bespoke music track to compliment the calm gameplay. This resulted in three tracks that play seamlessly after each other in a playlist.
The game is available to play for free on our ITCH.IO page.
