Blob Breeder is an action/arcade platformer. Your goal is to guide a group of autonomous blobs through a maze with cliffs, pits, and lava. The blobs reproduce quickly and automatically. Blobs inherit attributes, so the player can kill off all the slow blobs to have a fast-moving flock, or selectively breed for color and behavior. Yes, the primary interaction is (selectively) killing off your protagonists. It's like a mix of Lemmings, Mario Brothers and Spore. I'd love to have a few good beta testers to look over the app and give me their thoughts on gameplay, art, and usability. Reply to this thread or PM me if you're interested, or if you have any questions about the game. http://squidmixer.com/BlobBreeder/
Thought not applying as a tester, but feel like commenting on the visuals. I think the cute and very simplistic blue blobs kinda clash with the noisey environment texture and totally hard edges. Maybe simplify the environment too colorwise/texturewise to make it more fitting. Or just experiment with some softer edges or an outline effect for the environment. It just looks very harsh transitionwise. Think with some more polish to the transition from background-->foreground-->characters this could be much improved. Lookin forward to some updates Or even a video. Want to see something about the gameplay already !
Glanced at it and for a moment I was thinking ehh, but then I read it and now I'm interested in testing it!
Beta Hey, I'd be interested in beta testing your game. From the way you described it, and what I can infer from the screenshots, it looks like the type of game that I'd be inclined to play. I'd jump at the opportunity to help better a genre that I have come to cherish. My email address is [email protected]. Feel free to shoot me an email if you'd like to enlist me. You can be sure I will do my part. Thanks, Andy
How to test Blob Breeder Thanks for all the interest and feedback, much appreciated! I've put v0.4 up on TestFlight here: http://bit.ly/dHxdpe Test Flight is pretty sweet- once you sign in and I approve you, you can install the app straight from your device. I fixed up the art a bit, here's a taste: Thanks again!
