About On the Bubble
NOTE: This game only runs on ray-tracing supported hardware!
We are in a dystopian cyberpunk society, where the government took the idea of basic human rights to the extreme, putting everyone from birth into huge protective bubbles. This way the security of life is 100% guaranteed, as human life is "the most valuable thing".
However, the young generation is not buying this shit, how can a life with no threat be exciting? The outgoing trend emerges: punks and youth start a deadly race in which each contestant can finally feel alive rather than just living.
Move the ball to the finish by tilting the level and going through obstacles that challenge your precision and timing skills. Find the fastest way to complete exciting levels and be the best on the leaderboards.
(Not in Early Access)
An easy-to-use level editing tool with extensive options to express your creativity and challenge the community. Create a level, upload it, and watch gamers compete for first place on the leaderboards. Use a wide variety of level elements in any combination to create your works of art.
Experience next-level graphics using cutting-edge ray tracing technology providing the most realistic global illumination. The use of custom tech brings the game world to life and enhances the immersive experience.
This game is created by a group of students on a custom engine made over the course of a year using the latest research into real-time path tracing technology. In addition, the engine features fully custom physics specifically tweaked to enhance the balling experience.

[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "ModIO" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] "On the Bubble" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Breda University of Applied Sciences in Netherlands. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed ga…2 found this helpful
For me there are a few things I hate about this game. 1. i can not seem to turn off the music either with the controller or mouse. It gets repetitive and annoying after a while. 2. The game crashed after the 3rd level. Has to restart it in order to play more. It is not my computer as I meet and exceed recommended settings for this game.1 found this helpful
AMD graphics card - Level lighting does not work, the platforms are completely dark. certain small things like the settings menu do not work and annoyingly long unskippable transitions, and the camera is tied to the ball's direction, which adds to the difficulty, but is super annoying however, the game is free and if you spend some time, it is pretty fun
Very very rough. It's playable but I cant even get into the settings menu, if it even does anything. Other menus are laggy or also don't work. Some of the levels are a bit ridiculous in difficulty. The frame rate seems low which adds to the difficulty. I don't like the cameras not having free movement. The camera bounces around which makes moving the ball in the correct direction more difficult. But like the concept and it's free so I recommend anyway because free gaming is great.
Game doesn't work properly on AMD cards I think but other than that it's fun and that's all that matters doesn't it Also try to beat my scores you can't sorry
