What a great game. Feels like an old style arcade game which is great. More weapons please :) Some smaller levels to ease the player in would be a great addition, and a skill level so us poor game players have a bit more of a chance :) The idea of the blob spreading is great and very sell done, as is the great little shake of the buildings. Please keep working on it Kilted it deserves more work as what you have so far is fantastic. Loved it.
Dude, I appreciate that so much. Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it man ;)
Great submission! Enjoyed playing through this as a super powerful entity defending the hoo-mans. Nice take on the theme.
Nice work <3
Thankyou kindly ;)
Nice - a very satisfying feeling of destroying something. At first it was not obvious for me that you can choose weapons on left side and that the progress bar is recarging - somehow left with no weapons at all by not clicking the left bar. Cool that it runs in a web build!
Thanks :) yep the weapon selection and cooldown didn't get implemented as I would have liked, but it almost worked! Cheers for playing :)
BLOB INTENSIFYING! Blowing up blob groups was a lot of fun! Great job!
thanks dude! Happy you liked it , cheers! :D
It feels like brushing teeths and getting the green stuff out. Cool little experience! Satisfing cleaning game xD
..you have green stuff in your teeth?! lol thanks Kani, glad you liked it, I appreciate the comment! :D
I managed to get the hang of it pretty quick! nice one dude its actually really fun despite I wasnt the best at saving everyone, maybe somthing to aid the defenses a little would have helped however the best defense is more NUKES!!! :D
haha thanks man :) Yep some defensive stuff woulda been nice, a better selection of weapons would also have been nice to do, but for jam time... lasers and bombs! :D
This is great game and fits the theme perfectly. Loved the bigger weapons and had a blast trying to destroy the blob. Think this could easily be developed into a very addictive game.
Couple of ideas might be smaller levels to ease the player in (hard to do for the jam because of the theme I appreciate) and maybe a couple of defensive weapons such as barriers and acid to protect what remains of the city.
Great.
Thanks dude! Yeah I had plans to make this an RTS.. send troops to wall-off areas, park trucks to halt the flow, air-strikes, helicopters dropping chemical attacks ... all that sort of stuff :D The city is procedural as well so there was definitely a plan for start small (with slow blob, 1 spawn), get bigger and bigger with faster blob and more random spawns.. but yeah - jam be jamming :D Thanks for the comment and glad you liked it ;)
Lots of destruction alright!
I didn't do very well in the game but the weapons were very impactful :) Like others mentioned, keybinds would be awesome
Yep keybinds definitely required! Thanks for playing, hope you enjoyed :D
What a game! The lasers a probably the most satisfying weapons ever. Really liked the ability to zoon in and out too. Loved it :D
Cheers :D Yeah I really enjoyed making the lasers. I spent a bit of time on the sound effects for that so that they faded in / repeated when holding fire / faded out, and had their own intensities for the different levels.. lots of fun to make. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Fun game, there are blobs everywhere!!! Very satisfying, Would be great to become a idle style game, as it's almost zen to destroy the blobs
Dug the music and had a blast. Would be nice to change weapons with keys or scroll.
Thanks man :D real glad you liked it.. had so many ideas with no time, usual jam shenanigans, I might revisit this one later and try to improve it :)
Love this game. Was tense when I was near 1% trying to save the last few buildings. Great job!
lol nice! Thanks ;) glad you liked!
would be cool if you could switch the weapons with numbers on keyboard, well done kilted!
cheers! yep, having a keybind for the weapons was on my "todo" list but irl did its thing, jam time be jammin!! Thanks for playing dude :D
Very well done Kilted! Great to see a game from you. I played it yesterday but I think I was still half asleep from the jam and couldnt figure out what was going on. Played it again just now and that was really well done! Interesting you and I both independently made "saving the town/city" from an alien threat-type game haha. But you managed to get in more actual gameplay, so again well done bro!
Ninjas Assemble!

Thanks man! Had a lot more ideas I wanted to implement, but IRL/jamtime happened :) But yeah I think there were more than a few people had similar ideas for the jam, which is kinda cool - good to see different takes on similar ideas! Looking forward to playing yours :D
Great little game
thanks! happy you liked it :D
very cool game, thought I was the baddie at first, nuked da whole city. second run zapped da blob. would enjoy maybe some music, sfx pooling to avoid stutter and crackle and if the weapones are bound to a key so I don't have to click da ui to lasr. very good!
Cheers!! The windows downloadable version has some music :) Points noted about a key to select weapon have been raised by others, noted for future :D ty ;)
The climactic cinematic urgency was conveyed well!
hah thanks! yeah that was what I was trying to go for.. classic b-movie nonsense :D
This is oddly statisfying xD love it, no comments. It made me feel good!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed ;)
I click and click but the damn blob won't die... Wait what was the theme again?
Eventually, I decided to try again. But I decided to join the undying side. So me and my army of 10297 blobs took over the city. Only 5352 people survived, but that's okay. We will get them next time! Vey nice, will kill again! :D
haha awesome, maybe The Blob 2 we can be the baddies... glad you enjoyed! :D
