Lol, glad you enjoy it.
The blobs only search for food until they're half-full, which is enough to survive t the next level. You do need t oget lucky a bit with reproduction.
The monsters only show up when you get over eighteen blobs. You gain an ability to help fight them off at, I think, generation four. So it's a matter of pacing yourself until then.
I appreciate the feedback. It's meant to be a game that you experiment with and figure out the mechanics (beyond the basics) over time.
