Hi, I'm Bubblegum — the person who builds and runs this little site, Bubblegum Game. Let me quickly introduce myself so you know who's behind it all.
I love making games
I've always loved playing games, and at some point I started wanting to make my own. After tinkering with tools like Unity, I now build small games you can play right in your browser and put them up here. Clickers, typing games — the kind of thing you can jump into just by opening a URL, no sign-up required. Whenever the mood strikes, I make a little more and drop it on the site.
Games and books are pretty much my whole life
My hobbies are games and reading. Honestly, that's about it. I'm especially drawn to retro games and sandbox-style worlds — the kind you can sink into and lose track of the hours. That said, I get bored easily, so I'm forever sampling one genre and hopping to the next. The upside is that I never run out of ideas for things to build.
I write a blog
I also write about games over on my Japanese blog, "Bubblegum's Game Blog," which I've kept going since 2021. It started as a catch-all diary, but these days it's almost entirely game write-ups — I write about the games I love, at whatever length I feel like. If you're curious, dig through the older posts too (they're in Japanese).
On words and books
I picked up English almost by accident — barely any sit-down study, just reading books in English and playing games in English until, somewhere along the way, I could read it. These days I work in a language-related field, so I read more than most people: around 100 books a year. I keep a record of them on a separate site, "Bubblegum's Reading Log" (in Japanese, and heavy on foreign-language titles).
What I'm going for with this site
I love that "old internet" feeling — the hard-to-explain excitement of the early web — and I make these browser games and my Ura side project to bring a little of that atmosphere back. I wrote more about that in this dev note. I aim to add a game or an article roughly twice a month.
Hearing what you liked — even just a quick "this part was fun" — genuinely keeps me going. Feel free to reach out through the contact form.
