Glouping Together

The theme for the GMTK game jam this year was "Joined Together", so I made a top-down shooter game where you are a blob and must join with other blobs to gain their abilities. This was my first game jam and I hope you enjoy the game.

Tutorial:

There are two types of blobs you can collect, violent blobs and helper blobs. I was only able to implement one violent blob and two helper blobs. You can only have one violent blob and one helper blob joined to you at a time. The only violent blob in the game is the shooter blob and it is red. It allows the player to shoot pellets. The medic blob is a helper blob and it is white with a red cross. It allows the player to heal to full health once. Finally, the jumper blob is a helper blob and it is lime green. It allows the player to jump over gaps for 1 second. 

There is one enemy in the game and it is an angry purple blob. It goes towards you and hurts you when it touches you. It also applies a good amount of knockback.

I was initially planning to put in a shop system, but I ran out of time to do so. That is why enemies have a 1/3 chance to drop a coin. Coins don't do much right now except function as a score counter.
