amazing lighting there, the graphics kind of remind me of doom or quake

I'm not sure what the objective is, but I'm guessing there isn't one by the name. The music is cool and I like how the blobs seem to spread out over time.

I love all of the visuals of this game, especially the blobs themselves. The tilted camera works perfectly here, and makes a nice mood when paired with the lighting and music. Even the blobs that spawn on the walls next to the side of the screen add to the mood. I would love to see this when/if it has more content.

I don't know if that's just me but the shooting sound is really over saturated !
The game has a good mood, maybe it's a little too dark when the player is not shooting :)
Congrats for your game !

Simple but very fun, good controls, with the firing especially, I love the graphics and the lighting too! Great job!

I love the mood and the graphics! After going through all the narratives and designs of other games, I found simply shooting around with no particular purpose actually feels quite special and satisfying! Thank you for the great work.

The skewed camera and weird lighting make it seem like the start of a horror game, but there's not any win or lose conditions or story just... meaningless blob slaughter. Title checks out.

It is like playing Minecraft in hell. At first I was confused but then I paid attention to the title of the game "Meaningless Blob Slaughter". I got really into it for a while and was determined to extinguish those blobs... but then I realized they keep re-spawning, then it became truly meaningless and I just left haha

nice game, shooting blobs is always satisfying. but other then that as the title says, something is missing to make this game realy addicting :dog:

Amazing graphics and greatly paced! Reminds me of Doom, but in a Tomb Raider PS1 graphics kind-of-way, great job!

Got to say that it was an unique experience. Walking mechanics work like in the oldschool DOS RPGs, where one press is moving your character one tile. The game name surely checks out.

Nice one, I've chuckled at the Minecraft in hell.

Interesting interpretation of the theme, the music is very calm and when you shoot color and light is very intense, it was difficult to understand where i gone, but it was fun !

I like the lighting and the feel of the weapon. It is satisfying to fire. I do miss some kind of objective or scoring, anything to gamify it.

The feeling of shooting is really nice and the compact environment really adds to the atmosphere, I would just suggest something like a score tally or a life system so the game has some goal or stress

nice graphics and shooting controls. moving felt a little awkward at first.
