Yes, I finally submitted my compo entry, Blob Catcher<\/a><\/p>\n

You are in\u00a0 a (single) room full of blobs, and they have an overwhelming desire to escape. Use your grappling hook cannon to catch as many blobs as possible, and don\u2019t let them escape through the top of the room!<\/p>\n

Aim with your mouse and click to shoot.<\/p>\n

\"Blob<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to tie two blobs together to stop them. The first time you shoot, you\u2019ll stick one end of the grappling hook to a blob. Your second shot will grapple another blob. Once two blobs are tied, they\u2019ll be attracted towards each other until they get smashed out!<\/p>\n

The farther away the two blobs are, the more points you\u2019ll score!<\/p>\n

And, each time you manage to smash additional blobs when the two are attracted towards each other, it\u2019ll double the points you just scored!<\/p>\n

Play the Game<\/a><\/p>\n

From a technical standpoint, this time I was away from home and didn\u2019t have access to my gamedev computer. So, I borrowed a laptop and I attempted to make a game using only online-based tools (without installation required). So, I actually created this game with Scratch 2.0<\/a>, a tool designed to teach kids how to program. I wanted to see if you could make Jam games with it too – I hope you’ll enjoy the result.<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2016 10:05 pm","title":"Blob Catcher submitted"}
