Bubbler's Tower

Bubbler's Tower is a simple platformer where your goal is equally simple; get to the top.  You are a sentient bubble in some castle.   Why are you in a castle?  Can't say, nor did I really plan a 'why' for that honestly.   Jump up and reach the starpost to move to the next stage, and bounce off smaller bubbles to reach new heights.  (Subject to change)

Known issues:

• I was originally going to have the resolution change after the first 3 levels, but unfortunately while the effect looked cool in Game Maker's test setup it looks really jank on Itch.io to where the title/reset page lingers in the back.
• Some visual effects, namely for background distortion, are weaker than intended and really blurry.
• Touching bounce bubbles from the side causes the sound effect to play repeatedly.  It's not loud, but it can get grating, especially with the level with the makeshift elevator.
