Blobby The Bob

In this quirky-controlled, retro-inspired platformer, you need to pull your blob to the end of every level ! Should you mash your way through or find the perfect rhythm ? Only Blobby knows and only Blobby really controls your destiny. Can you make it to the end of the 8 levels ? Now what is your fastest run ? Can a sub-60 be done ? A sub-30 ? 
Only Blobby truely knows...

This game was made for the third game jam organized by Bezi and for this one, a platformer and a retro theme was given to us. I also gave myself an extra challenge of only having a day to build this project (work n stuff...) ! It was my first time trying this and I managed to put about 8-10 hours in, and I learned a lot! It was a great opportunity to try the new Agent Mode for the first time and I really felt the next level this feature gives. It definitely saved me a lot of time. Can wait for it to extend to more functionalities !

Controls :
Each colored blob represents a key (WASD) and pressing that key will pull Blobby in the direction its blob currently is. But watch out, too much movement will disrupt the blobs and you might lose control. 
The SPACE key will bring in the blobs and reset them. I had some additional gameplay for this but lacked the time to make it satisfying to me.
I also was working on a custom shader for creating a blob effect for the visuals of the player - that's why I chose that name, but it ended it up not being complete in time. Shaders seem to still be a difficulty for me to work on with Bezi. Anyone with some tips is welcome ! 

I hope this game makes you smile in frustration  :)
Thank you for playing !
