There is no way to win or lose. Hopefully you will find it quite fun to mess around with.\r\n\r\nI wasn't able to work on the first day so this was made in 48 hours even though it is a jam entry.\r\n\r\nI realise that this doesn't fit the theme particularly well. I had originally intended to make a game about a blob monster that consumed things to grow bigger. My blob didn't really have a monstrous feel but I liked how it looked so I decided to go in a slightly different direction with the game.\r\n\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nWASD\/Arrows  -  to move\r\nLeft Click  -  to launch blobs (you must pick some up first)\r\n1\/2\/3\/4  -  to change graphics mode\r\n\r\n\r\nMany thanks to finefin for supplying the awesome music (http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/author\/finefin\/).\r\n\r\n\r\n-EDIT-\r\nI had purposefully not explained the mechanics of the game as I had hoped that figuring them out would be a part of the fun. I have had several comments from people who haven't managed to figure it out so I will explain the basic mechanics. It was my fault in not making things more obvious, I should have used better visuals\/sound to let the player know what is going on.\r\n\r\n1) Pink blobs and white blobs cancel each other out.\r\n2) Touching a white blob will cause it to join you.\r\n3) Clicking will launch a white blob that you have with you and turn it red.\r\n4) One red blob will cancel out two pink blobs.\r\n\r\n-EDIT-\r\nAdded the 4th graphics mode post jam. I intended to add this during the jam but ran out of time.","title":"Soup"}
