Blob Story: Cave Rescue! Is an adventure game where you have to traverse a randomly generated cave in order to rescue all the blobs! You will go from room to room searching for them, and collecting their energy to give you a boost. However have too much energy and it will become tough to see, enemies will find you easier, and more :O Do your best to rescue as many blobs as you can and return them to safety!
*Game Tips:*
Here are a few tips to help out since I didn't have a whole lot of time for a tutorial.
1) If you have too much energy that you want to get ride of go back to the starting room to empty out!
2) The crude graphics in the bottom left corner is a mini-map, it will generate as the cave randomly gets created.
3) Each section of the map has a blob located in it, keep an eye out for them!
When I come across a game with zero ratings, feedback and all that, I start out a little skeptical. But, you have a playable game here. There are some impressive elements. I like how you get more bullets when the enemy numbers increase. Ultimately, I was never able to figure out how to "reduce my energy" which I guess would bring more light into the room, so I ended up, eventually, in a pitch black room, where I couldn't see a single thing, but it took awhile to get to that stage. There seems to be a minor glitch where the text boxes won't disappear for awhile after the pink blobs talk to you.
Your concept is nice It felt to me like this game could have been done during the last ludum dare, with the "power" theme Overall it's pretty simple but it plays well and the mechanics are cool. I'm not sure if that's a bug/feature tho but I found it strange that the enemies could walk in the space btween the rooms
It's a cool mechanic, it took me a while to understand that I had to take the blobs back to the upper room (maybe I didn't read something), but overall it was fun. There's a dark room that I didn't get what to do there.
I loves how you used the random effect creating the rooms, it really made me want to explore more and more. Also loved the minimap, thanks for adding it, it would be impossible to remember how to go back. I think the music and sound effects are a bit harsh to the ears. Nice job!
Nice 4 direction sprites. I wanted to do that for my game, but I sort of got intimidated by the idea so I sort of gave up hahaha :p You also made some really good fluid room transition.
There were a few times where my character would get stuck, but I don't believe it's because of your game but the fact that it's a web build. When I was pressing certain keyboard letters. I would start scrolling down the page when I hit space afterwards. It was very hard to return playing after that. I eventually figured out that by setting the game to full screen and then exiting fixes it. Again, I don't think it's a bug from your game.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised.
