The game is pretty fun to play, but I kept getting stuck at the area where the blocks are moving.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>By the way, heavy objects fall with the same acceleration as light objects :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Technical note: the embedded game does not accept my keyboard input (Ubuntu + Chrome). I had to click on the Web link to play."},{"author_name":"KilledByAPixel","author_uid":"2075","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:34am","epoch":1450146540,"text":"Awesome work. Control mechanics feel really good. I love the start menu, all the modes seem pretty much the same to me though. I like the graphical look, the blob looks great and the effects when he dies are nice. The spikes could stand out more, they kind of blend in with everything. Nice variation to levels with moving blocks and gravity reversals. Music and effects work well, reminds me like an old school dos game."},{"author_name":"seurimas","author_uid":"41756","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:35am","epoch":1450146600,"text":"Thanks, ac7.

I really enjoyed playing it though. One thing I think the game would benefit from is a change in the background colour.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, fun stuff. Maybe tweaking the main mechanic a little bit could make the game a lot better!"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1450217880,"text":"Challenging, well made game.

The physics used to control the player are really fun to play with. I like all the little goop particles your character gives off, and how they smash into spikes just like your character does.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The environment and spike graphics are a bit plain, but the blob and title text look really nice with a lot of personality. Another pass on the environment would help a lot graphically. All the little messages the character says are cute as well. I like the use of emoticons :)"}],"images":["ld34\/41756-67407408dd8aebaac2f04e63736495eb.jpg","ld34\/41756-1342439724e59513ebce89cf852ec7da.jpg","ld34\/41756-d2749f7ce1068a2bda4309685490f221.jpg","ld34\/41756-02e4060429dc4bed71f1afdba4254fb9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/keui.itch.io\/ludum-dare-34-dont-burst-the-blob","text":"Desktop (Java)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Seurimas\/ludumdare34","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/commondatastorage.googleapis.com\/itchio\/html\/132688\/dist\/index.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"6731","g_author":"41756","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"6667","g_title":"Don't Burst The Blob","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"439","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/41756-shot0-1450055963.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/41756-shot1-1450055963.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/41756-shot2-1450055963.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/41756-shot3-1450055963.gif-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Don't Burst The Blob!\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n * Space: Grow\/Fall.
