fun, clever game! I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing some of the time but it was very satisfying to assimilate other blobs and become more powerful. 

Submitted

This game is just extremely fun to play :)

Submitted

While it was fun to play I found it the blobs moved too fast and it was hard especially at a small scale to get the other blobs

Submitted

Real total assimilation! Game delivers what it says it would!))

I found that sometimes enemies move too quickly and it is not easy for novice like me to play.

Submitted

I had fun while playing but it would be better if everything was a bit slower and stats were filling faster.

Submitted

Fun game! I would add some acceleration to the movement, then it would feel less jumpy, it will also help turning as sometimes the 8 directions you get from wasd makes it impossible to hit a blob that you're chasing. Good job!

Submitted

Cool game, the theme is well suited and overall this is well handled, the only thing is that I did not really felt in danger, which takes away the challenge a little and also the movement is bit too fast. But I had a fun with your project and made myself a big blob :) Good job!

Submitted

I thought that this was a really fun take on the theme! 

Things I Liked:

  • I really enjoy the overall concept. I love the idea of being a slime collecting different slime types to improve different stats. Very very cool!
  • I liked the music. It was super chill and it made it easy to get caught up in a long play session.
  • I think that the visual aesthetic is also really charming. Especially as your slime gets bigger and you can see its little face moving. 

Suggestions for Improvement:

  • I wasn't really sure how to die. I'm all here for living but I wasn't sure what the challenge was.
  • I think some speed in how you grow and other enemy types appears could create a more engaging game loop.

I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at my game when you get the chance :D

Submitted

Great Game!!!!! I would like to see a much faster growth of the player though I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy...... 

Submitted

I couldn't tell if I was even moving or not. Not sure if broken, or somehow I wasn't able to control at all.

Submitted

Pretty fun, but would like to see more. Some powerups to attract slimes to a single area so you can just go eat them up in one swipe would help out. 

Submitted

Found it a little too long-winded and repetitive. It takes a lot of time to really improve your stats and there isn't much of a challenge, so it just becomes a mindless collecting of objects too quickly.

Lots of fun!

The gameplay's a nice twist on the classic agar.io/katamari damacy gameplay, and I like that there's more layers to it with the different colours and the different levels, increasing with size. It keeps it fun and interesting.

The music and the art was really good considering you only had a week!

For improvements, I'd just say growing bigger quicker, and maybe not going soooo fast, it kind of makes it even harder. It does fit the theme to some extent, but I feel like it's a bit more selfish than stronger together implies... I think maybe it would've worked a bit better if you stuck together with the other germs/blobs instead of eating them?

But otherwise, great job!

We are making Gameplay Videos about the Games we played and Talk about while playing them, to give a Live Feedback while playing, which often is a bit Rough, but we found its a good Experience for the Developer to see the Problems in their Games.

Honestly, This was FUUUUUUUUUUN

The Second Level i think with those "Bathroom Tiles" just reallllly .... lets say bad! 😊

Graphics are okay, can be improved or replaced with some nicer ones.

The Theme, mhh the Interpretation of it is Okay. Not 100% sure i didn't had the Feeling of "Stronger Together" i rather had the Feeling "Eat them all to make myself Stronger"

Fast, Fun and i want more Levels and better Graphics.

I also wasn't sure about the Defense, is there Live or something? Some harder Gameplay would be nice, but for Relaxing and just running around like crazy and eat everything, awesome.


Good Work, really enjoyed playing through, if there was more levels i probably had continue playing it.


We Would love to have your Feedback for our Game as well.

Nice use of the theme.

I think I'd prefer it if you grew more rapidly.

Submitted

Addicting! xD Love the blob <3
Could use a little more polish in terms of graphics and a nice "world-eating"-esque soundtrack and I would definitely devour this game :]

Submitted

Blob for the win ! ;)

I like the idea, and the progression of levels is good! I also like the fact that each color of food  gives different attributes !

As someone said bellow, I would also have preferred the attack to be continuous instead of having to bump in and out.

Also I would have see the blob been able to eat everything small than him and growing a bit faster. Like in Agario for example ^^


But cool game. Except I wanted to eat earth and moon but couldn't! :(

Submitted

The Musik is really nice, and I like the speed of this game. you may can make the animations a bit faster but all in all its a funny game!

Submitted

Enjoyed playing this game. 

Submitted

Great game! Haven't seen a lot of other games like this in the jam. You took the theme and added a twist - EATING! It is quite satisfying for some reason to just swallow other 'blobs' XD

Appreciated if you could rate my game.
