The Incredible Blobert by rattower

[raw]
made by rattower for LD34 (JAM)
You are the incredible Blobert. Roll over stuff with WASD to consume and grow.
Your goal is to consume the town's skyscraper.


HINT: Attack green tanks at 10m blob size and blue tanks at 20m.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Made this as a learning project for Unreal Engine 4. Might be a bit buggy here and there

---- 16.12.2015 ----
Fixed a little parameter that wouldn't accelerate the torque properly at higher levels.

Source Upload (and hopefully different platform support) coming soon.

This game felt alot like katamari, except at a snail's pace. you went rediculously slow, that even when capable of consuming the tanks, you couldn't dodge the attacks and lost 15 hp in the process. it definitely would've been nice to move faster, for getting to the point in which you can roll up buildings took almost 15 minutes.

I wanted to make a Katamari Game but couldn't do it. Great Job man! It crashed one time on me but other than that it worked just fine.

​This is pretty fun!
It would be nice to have some kind of objective :)
Also, the turning can be really slow sometimes, especially when going fast.
But overall, this is a beautiful, fun game! :)

I have to agree with Blobo, the amount of force that WASD applied felt like I had hardly any impact and it took too long to change direction. That being said, I did enjoy it and the graphics were great!

This looks really fun, but unfortunately there is no linux version :-(.
(And it doesn't run in wine after 5 minutes of fiddling.)

Interesting premise but very slow-paced.

I like the mechanic a lot but the realization could be better. Sound effects also get annoying after a short while. I also like the graphics but in 72 hours could be done better.

Interesting concept, but really too slow. Well done ++

Awesome game. Very much enjoyed slurping up the whole city, muhahaha xD I think some ridiculous up-beat music would have complemented the gameplay, but other then that great entry ;)

This is the first UE4 game I saw in LD. Could not get it to run. Will try on a team mates Windows box later.

Realy prety graphics. Its a good idea to add enemies to the katamari gameplay. The controls where weird, changing direction was prety hard. I think a mode dynamic and fast acceleration movements would be better. I died 4 times before finaly grow enough to eat tank, and then finishing the game. Keep up the good work
