Once upon a time, there was a lush cave where cute little blobs lived happily. But one day the cave started flooding all of a sudden. Will you help the blobs escape to safety?
Use your mouse to play. Hover over blobs, hold Left Click and drag to charge a shot and release Left Click to launch them. Hold Right Click to attract blobs to your mouse. Use the scroll wheel (or W/S or the arrow keys) to scroll the level.
If you're stuck, you can restart the level with R.
If you're up for the challenge, try to rescue as many golden blobs as you can! They're special. Or something.
Head on over to itch.io (link below) to play the game - it unfortunately cannot run in the Ludum Dare website due to requiring SharedArrayBuffer support.

Changelog - version 1.2 (October 16th 2024)

* Fixed a bug where the Restart button could overlap the Next Level button
* Eye shaking is now frame rate-independent

Changelog - version 1.1 (October 10th 2024)
* Tweaked launch controls - they now feel faster and more responsive
