Cute game! Gave be a bit of an existential crisis at the end there lol

noobman64 2024-10-07 01:56

@Dingbat Thank you for playing my game and sorry for the existential dread haha

richjbaron 2024-10-07 02:08

lol, absolutely loved it

noobman64 2024-10-07 02:37

@richjbaron Thanks for the kind words, I'm so glad you liked it :)

mode-0x13 2024-10-07 03:00

Short and funny. Nice game :]

noobman64 2024-10-07 03:32

@mode-0x13 I'm so glad you liked the humor. I never know if a joke will land until after the game is done. Thanks for the feedback ^.^

Simple concept - good execution - and a funny (existential) commentary at the end made me smile. Welcome to the world of game development! Hope to see more games from you.

noobman64 2024-10-07 03:58

@candlesan You're very kind. I'm glad my game made you smile :D

It's a cute game, I like the meteor ending! In the universe's scale, we truly are all tiny creatures... (I haven't found the other ending yet.)

I also find it a bit funny that the blobs will always try to summon a demon to get rid of me no matter whether or not I stomped any blobs in the any of the levels. I guess they just feel intimidated by the ominous hovering giant foot, lol

sviborg 2024-10-07 16:26

a fun and funny game that gave me a couple of minutes of pure pleasure! 😄 Destroying blobs reminds me of the pleasure of popping pimples, and the ending of the game will make you think about the scale of the universe! The controls are simple and safe, the graphics are cute. Despite its simplicity, the game copes well with stress relief.

atahan 2024-10-07 17:51

I did not see that plot twist coming lmao

noobman64 2024-10-07 22:31

@ramchops-games Thank you for playing my game and thanks for taking the time to leave the kind feedback! Are you sure the Blobs were trying to summon a demon to destroy you? I wonder what would happen if someone loaded the game on a fresh browser page and didn't step on any Blobs for 3 levels ;)

@sviborg Thank you for the kind words! That's exactly What I was going for. I'm not a skilled game developer so I go for basic concepts. Hearing that people got a couple of minutes of simple fun out of my game is very rewarding for me.

@atahan Thanks for playing my game! I'm glad folks play long enough to notice the "twist". I needed a way to end the game. Originally I wanted to have a world devouring monster like Cthulhu show up but as you can tell, my artistic skills leave much to be desired so I opted for a humble asteroid in the end, haha

ramchops-games 2024-10-07 22:56

@noobman64 That changes everything, wow... I like this game even more now!

noobman64 2024-10-07 22:58

<3 You're too kind ^.^

Fantastic ending! I like the image you picked as the cover--that blood with the smile sprite is very good.

noobman64 2024-10-08 04:07

@hubol Thanks for playing my game, I'm glad you liked the ending! I always run out of time when I participate in Ludum Dare, so I panic and upload a sprite from the game as the thumbnail/cover. In retrospect, it wouldn't have taken much time to take a screenshot of my game instead. Oh well, it doesn't look sexy but I like my little puddle of blood too :)

diabolical-sloth 2024-10-08 10:07

fantastic ending

very simple mecahnics but the humor and vibes go a long way

more music or SFX would help as well

nazariglez 2024-10-08 18:49

Super fun and simple game! The humor definitely makes it stand out, and the ending caught me off guard. Adding some more sound effects or music would make it even better. It’s a quick and satisfying stress-buster. I really enjoyed it!

thomas-bringer 2024-10-08 18:52

Nice game, idea is neat. Some more polish on the squishing would be nice, but a solid entry!

sdcorpse 2024-10-08 19:22

Cute game

noobman64 2024-10-08 20:39

@diabolical-sloth Thanks for taking the time to play my game! I agree, I wish I had added some music. That's one of those things I always run out of time for

@nazariglez Thanks for the kind words! I agree, I had recorded a few more sound effects (which are in the source code zip) for missing your stomps that I didn't get to use.

@thomas-bringer Thanks for taking the time to try out my game, I appreciate the kind words

@sdcorpse Thank you, thank you! :3

ecaterina 2024-10-10 19:51

I like how, despite its simplicity, the game relaxes you. And yes, what a relief that all the Blobs made it through unharmed (thanks to the stunt doubles)! It was funny!

noobman64 2024-10-11 00:13

@ecaterina Thank you for noticing! Yes I didn't want the players to feel bad about hurting them. More importantly, the Blobs have a strong union and I didn't want them getting hurt on set while doing their own stunts. The lawsuits would have bankrupted me :)

nonnen 2024-10-11 16:46

Very good game! I enjoyed all of the humour injected into it! Very glad you managed to get the little Blob sound effects in, it really adds to it!

noobman64 2024-10-11 22:08

@nonnen Thank you, I'm so happy you liked the game! Normally, sound is the last thing I work on and most of my LudamDare attempts have no sound or music. However this time, very early on I realized I need to make the stomping more satisfying for it to work at all. Adding sound seemed like the best way to do it.

fint 2024-10-12 10:50

My blob game :handshake: Your blob game

I felt sad for the little blobs until their intentions were revealed....

noobman64 2024-10-12 14:45

@fint Thanks for playing my game Blob-brother! :D

samuel-fine 2024-10-12 15:44

I'm ashamed of how much I enjoyed stomping the blobs. Love how the story escalates VERY QUICKLY. :laughing: I'd play 20 more levels of this!

noobman64 2024-10-12 17:06

@samuel-fine Thank you for the kind words! I was going for the "guilty pleasure" of popping a zit or some bubble-wrap. My game doesn't really have depth so I felt like I should keep it short and give it a dramatic ending to hold the player's attention. :)

exa 2024-10-15 14:07

Omg!!!It is S-o beautiful!!!Nice job 10/10!!!2539C350-C665-4873-BE0D-242D628384A1.jpeg

daniel-finch 2024-10-15 16:44

Lovely idea and story, could have been nice to have a way of doing a time-trials version with a score system, allowing us to play the game for longer!

noobman64 2024-10-17 02:42

@exa Thanks for playing my game and thanks for the pupper :3

@daniel-finch Thank you, that's a good suggestion! I wanted to go for something super quick that everyone would finish before it overstayed its welcome, but an optional longer level would have been good :)

aurailus 2024-10-18 23:20

Ahaha, I love this! Such a funny little game. The writing is hilarious, and the sounds were great. I loved the ritual at the end. I wish I were able to fullscreen it on the web version, I had to just zoom in really far. Very cool!

noobman64 2024-10-20 23:44

@aurailus Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you liked the humor! sorry about the the full screen issue.
