A Blob Queen's Adventure
Game done for the 5th Official Brackeys Game Jam!
My second Game Jam. I am quite happy about the progress I made.
Fifth release, now ready for the jam!
If you are curious and willing to help me, please try it and do not hesitate to point out everything that make you think it is not normal, it would be much appreciated :D !!
Link to the theme:
Stronger together.
You play as the Queen of a species that can absorb its children to get bigger, heavier and... stronger.
I wanted to play on the fact that stronger is not always good. Like making traps for big or heavy blob.
Info:
I did everything by myself, except for the fonts.
Features to add/change:
There are always room for improvements, but I think I will focus on bugs and feedback !
Changes done:
-Background added
-Springs has water
-Sounds are set
-Projectiles should be fine
-Platforms breaks ok
-Jump stuck issue should not be a bother anymore
-Text bigger
-Controls shown first time you play
-Music (by a jukebox, I recommend track 2, which one do you like most?)
-All secrets are accessible
-Spelling mistakes should be corrected (but a few remain... I just know it...)
Idea for the future:
I will keep my idea until the end of the Jam... !
Known issue (somehow fixed):
You can get stuck on the ground with the animation playing a jump. It happens when you hit jump button but don't leave the collider of the ground, or when you jump stuck to a wall.
If this happens, you can just wait a second without moving, it should work again.
If you can't, just hit Escape and Restart or Menu and Continue. There should be enough checkpoints to not feel too frustrated.
Find below a Windows version if you want to play it better.

Hello fellow blob user !
Honestly I didn't get how to finish the game. I tried to download just in case, but my screen isn't really regular and UI weren't responsive so I couldn't click.
But so far, I liked how you added all those little utilitary things, like a continue and the music controller ! The art was really pleasant too. And you have one of the best physic for a 2d plateformer of the game jam games I tried so far. But you can still improve it, I know you know. So keep on it !
Thank for the review fellow slime controller!
I have some UI issue that I know of, but everything should work by not using mouse at all, so just Space, Enter and arrow keys to navigate, even the dialogue and all....
To see how I can make it more friendly to all, would you please tell me where you got stuck? :)
As you know I know, I know I can improve. Still searching for the best way though.
Thanks again for the kind review
Going there felt like I was cheating jumping on the first enemy, so I'm not sure if I should be there.
I didn't realise I could skip the first panel with space sorry x)
Haha not at all.
So yeah, here you are standing on a weird platform right? Speaking with a NPC should hint you that you need to get heavier to break this kind of tiles. To get heavier you need more children and absorb them. To get more children, you need to find a "Birth statue", often hints by some peculiar plants.
All those infos are hinted by a NPC, but maybe they were not enough :)
Thank you for pointing it out :)
No the tricky part is that I wasn't (and I'm still not really sure), of how reproduce at the statue. So I thought I was mistaken and just tried to proceed. But maybe I always tried after lose a children and I was hard lock?
Down arrow or S to make more children at the statue :)
It is a hardlock to force you to get a good amount of children, but only one hit should not block you... are you sure you made the max children possible?
Pretty neat! I like the animation style and the "personality" that the world seems to have. Also, any game that involves blobs has my attention :P
Thank you !
I see you are a man of culture as well! ;)
I added more stuff to complete the world, tell me your thoughts about it!
