Title: Mr Blob: Bounce 26/05/10 update
Post by: JimmyJonas on May 21, 2010, 06:36:24 pm

This is my first game with game maker. All you have to do is dodge the bouncing grey blobs and it's basicly a game of survival. It has global highscores and can be up to two players.

This is a WIP, so post if you find any glitches or bugs or want to suggest anything.
Screenshots on the link.

Any feedback is welcome :)

Controls:
----------
Left and right arrow keys to move player one
A and D to move player two

Future Updates:

Patch Notes:
---------------
-Got rid of "MyName" when typing in your name it's now empty.
-Fixed it so the bouncing blobs don't get stuck on the walkway.
-Fixed the scores so it don't carry over from the last game.

The high scores seem to be cumulative, is that intended? What I mean is, if I just keep playing impossible, even if I survive only 1 second each time, the score keeps adding up.
I think you should work on getting the blobs to come from more directions, instead of just diagonally from the sides. Maybe add power-ups like increased speed, a gun, jumping ability? Also new enemy types, like maybe some that split, move faster, or slide across the walkway before bouncing back up again?

as Hero bash said, keep it up!
