RougeBlobs by C1913

[raw]
made by C1913 for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

To move hold the left mouse button and point where you want to go. You can use the small dead zone around the tank to only rotate the turret. Weapons fire automaticly, upgrades happen at certain amounts of kill points. To fire the 'Sniper Cannon' (Upgrade 6) click the right mouse button. These shots do a lot more damage and penetrate through any blob.

I like it! Good stuff.

The death animations are really nice, feels satisfying!

Cool idea, nice movement, but some instructions on how to play (click to where you want your tank to come; click around the tank to change the shooting direction) and "game over" screen/dialog would be nice.

It's a good start for a full-fledged game! Graphics give a clean and simple look which is nice, and I especially like the intro camera movement. I agree that some game over/restart would be a good addition if you plan on going on with the development.

As soon as I heard the Popping sound and my tank upgraded I was like " oh I could get addicted to this loop".
Nice experience: the popping sound is super satisfying and the "leveling up" is done well.
A couple of things I'd like is a little more feedback when you get hit and some kind of timer that explains what is happening.
Also when you go to the edge the blobs just spawn outside of the area and fall down.
But overall a fun experience, Good job!

Looked really good at start, but then it made me frustrated that I can just fire in a direction where I'm moving towards. I think you ran out of time, it would have been more catchy if I can have more powerups or something. Spent a couple of great minutes though :) Congratulations!

Very nice! popping bubbles was an excellent choice for a simple, satisfying experience, and the tank design is stylish. One note if you decide to work on this more is that because after a few levels it seemed like all the upgrades were omni-directional, the game felt like it required less strategy as it went on instead of more. Over-all, a lot of promise.

Great little game, but right click doesn't seem to fire the 6th upgrade.

It's the left mouse button that fires the Sniper Cannon, sorry.
I've corrected it in the description.

EDIT:
Actually that's not true, sorry :sweat_smile: It is the right mouse button, for you move with the left.
The projectile is a lot smaller and faster, though. It makes a sound similar to a stopper pulled out of a tube. For some reason, the volume seems to be really low in this version anyway.

However, I'm still working on the game. Once there's a fully functioning version, I'll post it here

A very fun and simple game! I like the beginning animation.
