Blobhead is a game by Motron Software.

You play Arthur Blobhead who was involved in a raditation accident when he opened his microwave whilst cooking!
He was reduced to a cloud of gas in the form of a sphere. He gained amazing abilitys like being able to pass through objects. Little did he know during the accident, the evil Blue Burgaler was prancing around his house about to sneak up on Arthur to knock him out. He gained the same amazing powers and now is out for revenge. One day, Arthur and the Blue Burgaler get zapped into an unkown area where there were many apples. Now because of his craving for apples he must roll around the world eating apples to get to the 20th level! There are also blue pills which will lower or raise your score. Use the arrow keys to move. Avoid the Killer Blob, eat all 10 apples on each level and its your choice to eat the pills, here are the effects of pills:

Pill 1: You get 20 points
Pill 2: You get 50 points
Pill 3: You lose 20 points
Pill 4: You lose 50 points
Pill 5: You gain 250 points

I remember this 'game' and the comments about it.

I downloaded it but I'm afraid to say I wouldn't even pay 10p for it. Sorry.

Boo!

I have to say that Spooky is absolutely right! This is, to say it gently, a try to make a game, BUT not worth any amount of any currency!

You should be happy that we tried it! (We wouldn't have, if you had made a screenshot!)

Check out the game that were made on the Dark-Physics-Software-Mode-Competition-2006! There were some great games! (And I mean NOT my own one, that was crap against the others!)

Develope some REAL GOOD game and then MAYBE someone would make a donation!

I am very happy that people have tried it, I can admit myself, not the greatest game ever, but still not the worst game ever, I dont expect it to be the next "The sims" but I dont expect it to be the next "ET". Buy it if you wish, try it if you wish, thats all I can say, remember, noones forcing anyone to do anything.

Wtf do you think you're doing? By pricing this at £10 you are basically saying this game is worth as much as Defcon, for example (also priced at £10). You are seriously deluded. Arthur Effing blobhead? Jesus.

Your signature has been erased by a mod - 404kb is a little large, don't you think? Nope not really, but heh, ur the boss

It's his choice entirely what to price his game at. If he wants to make it £10, then he can (and has) made it £10. As he said, you're not forced to buy it, and a free trial is available, so leave off the harshness of the comments relating to the cost of it.

This game is pretty good. It has a few bugs (It executes itself again whenever I die, so I end up having several instances of the game open.

Trying to sell it probably wasn't a very good idea. It made everyone look away at the fact that this game is pretty good, and focus on that fact that you are selling it. The music you're playing sound like they have come from another game (I think its lemmings, not sure), so they may be copyrighted unless you made them yourself.

With some polishing, this game will become a decent game, but you have to be careful when making the decision to sell a game, because people will ignore the actual game and just start flaming.

The thing that really annoys me is that the head looks like its semi in the floor due to being translucent (which incidentally looks nothing like a sphere of gas), and the camera angle sucks. Other than that it does what it's meant to.

No he didn't insult me, I'm just saying the camera angle isn't very good, and neither are the visuals, It's my opinion. Secondly, what program is it having a go at? That makes no sense whatsoever, please explain.

Can I just say, I appreciate your comments very much, even if they are bad or good. If you want, we could call this a donate button for future games, except in this button you get a reward! If you want to enjoy this game without those bugs, buy it, I can assure you that the full version is bug free! Soon this will be released to a giant torrent of people and they all tell you how good or bad this is.

@treborguy
Jay Bee is giving an honest opinion which I appreciate. All the better for Blobhead 2.

EDIT:
I forgot to say that permission was obtained for the music.

Well you obviously tried on this game, but it is no where near the quality of something people will spend thier money on, the visuals are very bad, the gameplay isnt too bad, but it needs lots more features to be paid for, just take a look at some of the other projects on here; some of them looking good enough to be fully commercial, but they are being put on here for free.
Seriously think about it before trying to sell a game.
Also, my advice would be dont bother with a Blobhead 2 a sequel to an unsucessful game is never good, start from scratch, it would be much better.

@ stevenup 7002:
I'm sure after you have read some feedback here, you will see, that some people would buy a game, IF it offers somekind of uniqueness in the gameplay (for example good game-controlls, etc.), acceptable graphics (more than just some plain textures, although to have them as an fallback-mode for weak computers is allways usefull), a nice story (always good to have that) and enough levels to play around (if a game is good, it's nice to have a lot of them, otherwise the disappointment of the user is likely very high! Like: "Oh, that was it?")! Some other points may also count for some people! (I just named what came across my mind right now!)

So, have a look at the programms that are already here and see the quality, try to reach that (it is not a must, but would be better), then make something that people really like! Maybe you should make a short demo of your gameidea to see, if this is what people would like to see as a complete game (this way you would save the developement-time of a complete game that noone wants!)! (Do it like the big firms out there, make people show you what you can do, and if they want it, say it's delayed or "When it's done!")


I wish you good luck in your next project!

Worth every penny. £10 a pop should pay for real hosting too you know. Given that your site is littered with Google Adwords, something tells me you're not in this for the love of game development. Quickest £10 ever? Possibly.

End of the day game development is still a hard process to sercome. Steve you can sell at any price you choose i wish you all the best in the future and maybe the people who have flamed you should pay more attention to what they are programming than to rant about yours.

keep up the hard work

i'm E.T i have so much tech but yet i dont have a mobile phone! where is a land line when you need one

Sounds like someone was too lazy to make a player model and thought it too hard to do world collisions!!
