Feuding Space Blobs is a strategy game where you're in control of a space blob, battling it out with another blob, for fun and/or profit.
You start out with only your core (the thing with a creepy eye), but you can grow and shapeshift your blob by adding different modules to it.
The object of the game is to destroy your opponent's core. This is done by shooting it with the two offensive modules: The Gunner and Launcher. The Gunner shoots straight forward, while the Launcher shoots seeking missiles that go straight for the opponent's core.
Tips:
- You can only build adjacent to your existing modules and core.
- There's a cooldown after you build a given module before you can build the same one again. There's a visual cooldown-overlay that shows how long there's left.
- You can only build on your bottom half of the grid.
The AI is currently pretty simple, and just builds a simple pattern. The normal difficulty AI builds slightly better formations, and at a faster speed. There was only so much time I had to work on it :)
Enjoy!
P.S: You can turn off the sound and/or music using the buttons at the top.

Great idea, loved it. It would also make for a cool multiplayer game.
A great idea, it's a good Tower Defense style game. It could be made a bit harder, with perhaps more than one 'core' spawning in hard mode.
It was hard not to obliterate the AI, so that I could try all the modules XD. I would love to see a more elaborate version of this with modules that counter each other.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
If I had more time during the event, I'd definitely have added more modules and spent more time on balancing.
a good idea and fit the theme i like it
I just need a turret in the center to win (damn ia ;))
Shortcut will be a much have if you concider the game speed
Cool idea, great take on the theme. Would love to have some keyboard shortcuts to the items.
I loved the idea, audio, graphics, and gameplay! Great job! As TP2k suggested, this would be great as multiplayer!
Pretty fun to play and outbuild your enemy. It does get hard to keep track of everything once the 'builds' start to grow larger.
Pretty interesting game, good sound effects and graphics. The ai though sometimes is stupid sometimes is smart, it's very random. Good game over all.
Nice tower-defense-strategy-style-game, the AI is not very strong, but as a compo entry, its great! Liked the music too..
Love the audio in this! and a fun game to boot! Nice take on the theme and great job on your entry! Easy mode turned off is no joke, I've yet to beat that AI. =X
Nice idea for a simple TD/strategy game. It needs a lot of balancing but it was fun as it is :D
Love the visuals! Its fun to watch your blob grow. Balancing definitely needs work, but I would love to see more of this concept! Very cool take on the theme.
ooo I loved this. You combined resource management with combat in a really fun way. Great job!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Very fast paced game, great idea
