About Bubble Popverse
A 3D idle game in the browser about popping bubble wrap. The pitch: “Pop bubbles, build an empire, collect rainbow rarities, prestige. With satisfying sounds for every pop.” You pop bubbles, spend what they earn on upgrades, collect rare rainbow bubbles, move through realms and prestige; the game recommends headphones for its spatial ASMR audio, and the settings include a Zen Mode and simplified graphics. The entrant says the idea came from brainstorming with family about what makes silly simulator games fun, and that bubble wrap had never been turned into a proper idle game with satisfying sounds. The game's acknowledgments list Cursor, Codex and Claude Code as the coding tools used to build and polish it; ElevenLabs for ambient stems and sound effects; Tripo3D and Meshy.ai for 3D models; OpenAI image generation for upgrade icons; and Claude Design for mockups. It was made with Three.js for the Cursor Vibe Jam 2026, whose rules required at least 90% of each game's code to be written by AI; the official submission lists Cursor as the tool. It finished 237th of 945 entries. Free in the browser.
