Nice metaballs! I like the "vacuole" effect when swallowing another. Reminded me a bit of Flow.
Thanks for the comment! Had to google “vacuole” lol, haven’t heard that name since high school science haha.
Getting this when I try to run it: ./glob: cannot execute: required file not found
I’m on Debian stable; x86_64.
Hey! Sorry about that. As someone pointed out earlier the linker path is set to the default path on Guix system. This is my fault for not checking the linker paths properly. You can fix it with patchelf running
patchelf --set-interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 globBingo this did the trick! Thanks <3 Real cool visuals
Thanks for the kind words! Glad it worked for you! :)
shader and engine looks amazing, took me a second to realize my mouse position was what moved me, and while i was frustrated by the slow movement-- it also created such unease and tension that can only be described as "that golden ratio of gameplay"
game was hard until i realized that the blobs AI liked corners, and as long as i made my way to the edges of the map unharmed, i could eat up a bunch of little guys, grow exponentially, and become unstoppable... really disrupting the glob industry haha
my only complaint is the windows executable did not close gracefully on my win10 machine, always just stopped responding and had to force quit
other than that, super enjoyable, simple and expertly executed idea!
Thanks for the comment and amazing compliments! Blob AI is amazingly simple so not surprised you can cheese them like this haha.
As you pointed out shutdown is not very graceful and unfortunately it’s the same on linux. I have a fix for it now, which I will upload after the rating period is over.
reminds me of agario, but I love how even after you eat a blob, they still fight back while you're digesting them
Thanks! Agario was definitely a big inspiration.
I loved this game SOOOO MUCH! It had me stressed , yet super relaxed at the same time! I hope to see more games from you in the future!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it!
Looking good :) Congrats on the engine - Lots of cool macros there!
I had to patchelf --set-interpreter on Ubuntu - but then it worked like a charm (exe has the guix one).
Reminds me a bit of SPORE cell stage, too...
Thanks!
Interesting, and sorry that it didn’t work. First time using deploy so not quite sure what I have to change. I’ll have to look into it!
I love spore so that is a nice compliment haha
