Magical Gharial

Game Description:

Become a magical gharial-girl idol and entertain your audience with a spectacular bubble show! Oh, and don't forget to eat the haters whenever you get a chance to do so! Eat three haters in time to win.

Rules/Mechanics:

The game alternates between a performance phase and an eating phase.

• Performance:
  Cast giant bubbles, then make them pop on your fans to make them happy(and wet). To cast bubbles, combine smaller bubbles by rapidly pressing the Q(circle), W(triangle) and E(rectangle) buttons. Your assistants in the bottom corners of the screen will hold signs, showing you the possible bubble combos.
  Once a bubble is cast, it will start floating to the top of the screen. The bubble can be moved around with the arrow keys, and it can be popped with the space key.
  When a bubble is popped, it wets all the fans directly under it, making them happy. The fans gradually dry over time: if all fans are dry, the happiness meter reaches 0, causing a game over. Keep them wet!

• Eating:
  Slither around the audience with the arrow keys. If you can reach the red hater in time, you'll eat them. Slithering close to a wet fan will make you slippery and much faster.

Controls:
