Blob Farmer by Atahan

[raw]
made by Atahan for Ludum Dare 56 (COMPO)

Tend to your blobs while building your deck.

Play with the mouse

game has no audio :(

Also on itch: https://atahan-itchio.itch.io/blop-farmer

Basic game loop is: 1. Draw 2. Play cards to tend to/make/sell/improve blobs 3. Next turn, draw more cards, blobs hunger 4. Every 4 turns its night time where you can buy better cards at the market 5. Upgrade the market to unlock more powerful cards 6. Repeat

I made some bug fixes after submission:

Version 1.2: - fixed cat card being actually "once" - Food now "spoils" overnight because sometimes food gets stuck in places not reachable by blobs - Fixed butcher cards description. Now bigger blobs drop more food - Fixed transmute card description - Fixed merchant blob reactions - Fixed refresh shop cost - Fixed card costs text

Version 1.1: - Fixed the "card remover" never stopping removing cards - Fixed game soft locking if a blob sees food while merging with another blob - WebGL performance improvements (I had SSAO enabled for some reason lmao) - Fix Create Blob Icon colors - Fix blob sell multipliers

This is really cool! I have no idea how I would get to 5000,000 but I'll definitely come back to try. I love the graphics, it's gorgeous and the gameplay is a really interesting take on a deckbuilder.

Slay the Slime Rancher?

Pretty cool idea!
Some game breaking bugs hold it back:
- the sell card sold multiple played cards in a row. Sold my whole deck.
- when after the merger token a food is eaten, the game softlocks

Didn't even realise the game had no audio. Only after I read it^^

Really love the concept! Though I had a bit of difficulty selecting some of the cards, it's a nice lil deckbuilder with some excellently drawn lil guys!

Cool concept, I had fun building up my blobs and building my deck.
Some audio would have helped a lot, and selecting the cards was super frustrating.

Took me a while but I got there in the end! I like the deck building system and how it can snowball towards the end ![Screenshot 2024-10-07 200721.png](///raw/1c2/44/z/67a6b.png)

Your game looks very well generaly, I realy like the way slims looks and their tiny animations when they are interacting with other object in the game, and your cards are well made, the selection is nature and smooth, there is not complain! GOOD WORKS!

I like deck building games. This one is quite polished given the time constraint.
I am not entirely sure if there is a bug when you draw cards or if it is intended that you cannot play all your cards.
Some music and sound effects would have really been nice!
Nice job!

Wow, this game is pure bliss :D I didn't quite reach the 5 Milion to beat the game, but i love those blobs <3 I felt like 3 energy is a bit low, but as i can see here in the comments there is a way to get more energy, so i really have nothing bad to say about this game. Bookmarked it and i'm sure i will be comming back for more!

Interesting game! Seems very polished in some areas with nice little details like stuff falling out of the border. if you throw the food in a certain direction.

Maybe I have not seen the value of the card, but the "marketing +10$" seemed very weak compared to other cards. You could still buy it in the advanced shops, so I guess it can't just be a "trash card".

It's nice that you can direct the little fellows by clicking near them.
The visuals are very clear and the player has a good overlook thanks to the UI. The blobs have a nice personality, I liked them a lot. :)
