Veeeery interesting! I really liked this mechanic. Fun! Graphics could use some work though — it looks ancient. Like one of those game I used to play on coolmathgames. This could make for a verry fun mobile game. Seriously!
Nice game! I wasn't expecting this at all! Its Fun!

I enjoyed it a lot. I gave up when I didn't have any more empty spots to place my blobs, though. It would've been nice if the game told me when there were no more possible moves to make.
Great game! The graphics and audio are fun, and the game is a good puzzle.
Cool entry! In case you're still wondering, the last level is possible! =)

Thanks, all, for your comments. @comatomatoes I knew the last level was possible, I just hadn't won it yet before publishing. I just thought it was kind of funny publishing a game I hadn't been able to win. But thanks for letting me know. I was able to complete it about 30 minutes after the release when I went in with more medicine. @frances I agree - I really wanted to add a no-legal-moves detector and offer a restart of the level, but I just didn't have time. Sorry about that.
Fun and surprisingly difficult after a few levels

Fun puzzle game, gets really difficult after a few levels!

Framerate got awfully low when my board got pretty full. On the final level, when the board got filled up, got down to about 10 fps, which made it *really* hard, but I just barely won! Nice game, really enjoyed it.

@jimbly Sorry about that - it does get a lot of sprites going if the board is full, and my development PC is pretty fast. I was worried about it slowing down on laptops. I'm glad you were still able to succeed.

Pretty cool puzzle you have there, with interesting mechanics! :) Difficulty ramped up quite fast, but I had fun nonetheless. :)
Really impressively polished game for a jam--nice work! My only suggestion would be it was kind of hard to tell which square(s?) the medicine were occupying, maybe they could change the color of the tile underneath or something.
Awesome game...Framerate drops when the screen is full...5 :stars:
I love jam puzzles <3 Will admit that I chuckled at the blob puns ^^

This game is awesome! The gameplay mechanics, animation effects and sound are all good! I really enjoy this one.
Fun game! I got all the way up to level 7 but only managed to get 2 5x5s

Haha awesome game and Sfx! :smile: That Blob Marley pun though, you could have used some sleep :stuck_out_tongue: Btw imo when grid cell on the edge were left empty and surrounded by blob (unable to be filled) they should become infected as well :wink: Great game! Keep on it :wink:
Fun puzzle, would have enjoyed some kind of endless mode for high scoring!
Excellent work! The presentation and polish was excellent throughout, visual cues were helpful, and the game was easy to pick up and fun to play. Not much else to say -- excellent job!
I have no idea whats going on but I enjoy placing the blobs!
