Key Game Mechanics:
- Blob(s) follow the mouse cursor. 1x Space-bar press splits the blob(s) in half (if you have 1 you get 2. If you have 2 you get 4, etc).
- Advantage of splitting: Faster speed and agility.
- Disadvantage of splitting: Smaller size, bigger risk to get eaten
- The more mass you have the slower you move.
- Blobs can recombine only when a certain number of "fruits" has been collected.
- 1x fruit will increase your mass by 1
- 1x blob will increase your mass equivalent to the mass of the blob you ate.
- When you are small you don't lose mass. After a certain threshhold you start to lose mass. The bigger you are the more mass you lose per second.
This opens up a lot of interesting game mechanics; You can play it safe and stay combined, but will then be too slow to catch up to anything to eat. But if you split up to many times, especially if close to larger blobs, you're vulnerable until you are able to recombine.
