Hello itch.io,

I'm pleased to announce that BLOB & PADDLE, after 9 months of development is released. BLOB & PADDLE's gameplay is a mishmash of Breakout + topdown arcade action games. You play as Blob attempting to find the key to each of 8 levels to rescue their friend. The goal was to create a short one-sitting simple, but engaging playthrough which had a story, intuitive gameplay, and throwbacks to some of the classic arcade games I grew up playing. The music, sprites, and coding was all done by myself.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback! Thanks to anyone who checks out the game, the "lookback" development blog post, or the music. Game development is challenging but incredible. I'm sure everyone who has published a game is aware of how much effort and love goes into each of the games that hit this site.
