Burstholt

Burstholt is a harpoon arcade game. Fire a rope straight up and every bubble it hits splits in two; the smallest ones pop. Clear the screen before the timer runs out, and never let a bubble touch you.

Twenty-four stages lead through six woodland backdrops, from a dawn meadow to starlit ruins, with something new every few stages.

• 24 stages with rising bubble counts and speed
• Stone ledges, breakable crates and ladders, introduced one at a time
• Five pick-ups: double rope, sticky rope, freeze clock, dynamite and shield
• Chains: quick pops multiply the score up to ×8, plus a time bonus per stage
• Six backdrops drawn in code, each one a new starting point and a spare life
• Keyboard, mouse or touch with on-screen buttons, in English or Bulgarian

Code and text written with AI assistance; checked by PN Scripts with automated tests. Every shape is drawn and every sound synthesised by code; there are no AI-generated image or audio files.
