Development initially began in 2017. Director Romain Claude developed it as Bubble Town for the Global Game Jam 2019. The project came from a jam theme "What home means to you". Claude, alongside his team, became interested in the project and decided to develop it further. The game was inspired by the Pikmin and Paper Mario series. The game received favorable reviews.
