Blob Person Alpha 1.4 - The Potato Update


Blob Person Alpha 1.4 is out!
This update is mostly about quality of life improvements, as well as a few changes here and there.

Faster, Forward Shading.
Firstly, we have moved the game to forward shading. This method of rendering games creates a clearer image while also significantly improving performance. You should now be able to squeeze more frames and more graphics out of potatoes!

New Menu Designs!
To supplement the performance gains from forward shading, we have overhauled the pause and graphics menus. This gives you much finer control over the graphical settings.

Resetting Tutorials.
Based on your feedback, we have tweaked the tutorial prompts to replay if you die before completing them.

New Music!
We have replaced the music in level 1 with a new track. We're playing around with some musical ideas at the moment, so expect this to change a bit in future updates as well

The Future of Blob Person:
Level 2 is on its way! New puzzles and mechanics for level 2 have been in the works for some time now, and we're looking at releasing it in a build towards the end of September.

HATS!
Hats will be hidden throughout each level to encourage you to explore the levels a bit more as well as attempt more challenging platforming sections. The system will be ready for the Level 2 release.

Thank you for playing!

in 2019 Inverted Games made Lazer Lynx for the Epic Mega Jam, and it got an honourable mention from Epic Games! It's a puzzle game about getting tied to a chair by your co-workers at the space station, and only having a laser pointer and a cat to save you

One hot night in 2018 I laid awake as I realized I had all the art assets I need to make a Halo clone game. That idea possessed me, and 4 months of programming later, I had finished Apotheosis. It was released on itch-io in 2019. now I'm putting it here!

Why climb up a mountain when you can jump into a volcanic vent and launch yourself up the mountain instead?

Been messing about with the time travel mechanic to see what kind of puzzles we can make.

Blob Person collects hats in the newest update!

Been working on creating fast paced sections that incorporate the time switch mechanic and the blob cannons. Fun results! #screenshotsaturday

Wow. Apotheosis is now the most downloaded game I've ever made. Between here and itch. io, it's received over 800 downloads

Spent the past few days refining Blob Person's mechanics. Now Blob Person's got skillz
