Very slick and great gameplay. Best of luck with the Kongregate compo.

That was really cool!
It would be nice if the instructions were in the game screen though... had to scroll down to find out about changing colors.

Great presentation! Fun, intuitive gameplay. Nice difficulty curve. Well done!

Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback so far. There's rare crashy bug in there that we're looking into fixing so we can push a new version. If you run into it, we're very sorry -- please hit F5 and try again!

Nice game, very intuitive. The theme is very obvious on this one and game play is very present. Gets crazy pretty fast, like a bullet hell. Congratulations! =D

Well, it was fun, though I'm not sure it really fits 'evolution.' It felt more like I was just leveling up. Evolving implies multiple pathways. I did like how enemies became vulnerable to you as you got more advanced.

Controls are a bit abrupt, but got the job done. Music was manic... Kinda nuts... Got killed by a thing that spawned on me, uncool... I like!

Simply and addictive gameplay!

I'm an ikaruga fan so this speaks to me in a good way ^^ Sadly color baddies can spawn waaaaaaaaay too close from you for the game to be anything else but mostly random.

I found that drops of the other colour would appear right in front of me with no time to react. :(

Great pick up and play appeal. I'm loving the games that need no instructions more and more.

I like graphics and music. Gameplay was quite innovative, but i think difficulty is too high.

I am really having fun playing Gobbulator. It's simple and easy to understand, but still has got the ability to keep up excitement. Nice functioning work for a 72 hour jam.

Cool concept, having to switch modes to pick up certain "food". The music was good too :)

Slick gameplay, fantastic sound!

Good stuff, thought it was really fun. My main suggestion, besides the random-spawning issue some other people mentioned, is that I think the different colors should be much more identifiable so players could just focus on movement/color-switching without having to try to figure out who's dangerous. Maybe that was only a problem for me though.

The game was very easy to understand despite the minimal instructions. You did a great job of implementing a gradual progression.

Great game!

jorjon 2012-09-02 06:02

It was a fun game! The feedback could be better (sound effects, visual effects, etc)

zelen3d 2012-09-03 00:57

Nice gameplay idea. I like how it gets harder with the level and how there is variety. I try to link this game to something. Bacteria?

vilya 2012-09-06 23:46

That's kinda cool, simple but effective gameplay mechanic, fits the theme, etc. Not bad!

pythong 2012-09-07 16:20

amazing, how much gameplay you get with such simple things. nice sounds. it would have been nice to see some animation

walt 2012-09-12 16:50

great! but why only WASD and SPACE? had me play the whole game with only my left hand.. other than that, nicely focused and fun to play!

qaterknan 2012-09-13 16:46

Nice idea, but I kept getting confused.
