Bubble Trouble is one of those simple-but-addictive HTML5 games where you pop bubbles before they trap you—sounds easy, but it gets chaotic fast. You control this little dude with a harpoon (weird choice, but okay) and have to time your shots just right as bubbles split into smaller ones. Mess up, and suddenly you're dodging like five tiny bubbles at once.

The art style's got this cute, cartoony vibe that makes it feel like a lost early 2000s flash game—in a good way. First time I played, I underestimated how slippery the controls feel until I got used to it. Pro tip: aim diagonally, not straight up. Trust me.

It's the kind of game you play for "just one round" and then realize you've been at it for twenty minutes. The bubbles even make this weird squishy noise when they pop that's weirdly satisfying.
