Hey Erk, just played your game and as always I loved it. Blob ville excells especially in the idea and humor departments (I actually laughed out loud in parts of your instructions).

It has a great potential if you decide to complete it and add other buildings and upgrades to your building and may be special NPCs who will do some of the work for you to make it easier as your community of blobs grows.

If you decided to complete it, let me know because I will be the first in your fan base :)

I find these little critter utmost adoring.

(I'm surprised to this game still needing 10 more ratings this late in the ratings process)

Nice way to make use of resources! After building the first three houses i got stuck for a while and it didn't feel like anything more was happening, but just as I was about to give up the final instructions came, and then of course I had to complete the game. Very cute!

Hi, passed your game! :)

But I not reached additional point - 20 blobs, too hard XD

Reached 18 but then they dropped to 13 again.

It is really fun and super polished for compo.

Everything done really cool :) I like your balance, animations and a pinch of humor)

Looks cute :3

Also one of the blobs was horizontal, is it supposed to be so or not? XD I still don't know but wanted to notice, maybe it would be useful)

Such a fun game! Loved the "narrator's remarks". And oh boy did the difficulty scale with the ville's evolution.

Keeping track of poop... never crossed my mind that I'd do it. The mechanics were simple but the game's evolution makes it scale nicely in difficulty. I definitely think this has the perfect base for evolving. Maybe more types of buildings, other constructions for different items, farming or even factory jobs (I know, they just wanna have fun but life is hard) could develop further the ville.

Overall, great game, fun and interesting. Congratulations :)

Despite the fact that the graphics looks very simple, i must admit this game is very pleasant to play, the music is fine. I'm not sure what the water drop is for, but it's a really good job !

Cool game, nice mood and well implemented mechanics! My concern is that once you reach the second house it becomes kind of a chore to keep them satisfied! But I guess that hence the link to the theme :)

Good job! Keep up the good work! :D

This was a very cute game! In an effort to expand rapidly, I was just constantly clicking everywhere and ended up skipping one of the narrator's dialogue boxes on accident. The scaling was pretty good and it seems rather easy to add new kinds of items/buildings to track so the idea can expand pretty well. I would love being able to upgrade previous buildings with poop and having some sort of auto factory to generate some items to help. Overall well done!

This was great! It felt really polished, the art was adorable. I really liked the sense of progression through the game. I always had things to do and something to work towards. Really nice.

It was interesting. Felt a lot more like work than play. Maybe I'm not a very nurturing person. :D

Well put together.

Everything works together wonderfully! Nice job. I especially loved the slight wiggling of the plants in the background.
