Vlobs is a relaxing casual puzzle game where you build groups of colorful blobs (vlobs) that connect to each other in specific ways. Figure out the mechanics and see how far you can go before you fill up the board. Get far enough and you'll encounter new colors, new mechanics, mysterious powers and maybe even unlock a second game mode.
Features
- Nice connecting colorful blobs, sometimes with dots on them.
- Satisfying and (mildly) addictive gameplay.
- Sound and music.
- Cross plattform support for iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.
- Your own personal highscore! Can you beat it?
- Multiple levels with increasing complexity and a few surprises.
- Unlockable second game mode.
- No ads, no online features, no microstransaction.

"Only a few matches in and I can easily say I really love this game. It is a simplistic puzzle game that grows in difficulty as you go..."
AppunwrapperReview (iOS)
"If you're a fan of high score chasers without any grinding or other nonsense, Vlobs is an easy recommendation."

"Vlobs injects some much-needed freshness into the matching puzzle genre. It may not always be entirely clear about its rules and it has some limitations as to its mobile-friendliness, but there's plenty to enjoy about it regardless."

Vlobs 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 updates
Since the original release of Vlobs we've now sent out two smaller patches, the first 1.0.1 just for iOS and now the second 1.0.2 for iOS and desktop platforms. The first brought a big improvement for mobile players in the form of portrait mode support, and the second now fixes some other small issues.
Changes and improvements:
- Portrait support on mobile!
- Prevent board clicks while the board is animating to avoid misclicks.
- Removed gray vlob color as it was a little too similar to the black.
- Better Settings and Credits menu scaling on narrow screen mobile devices.
- Fix bug that could sometimes cause incorrect game over on the last vlob placed, even if it should have saved you.
For those of you who've wondered we're also working on an Android release, and a version is currently in testing. There are however some issues we've yet to resolve, so no promises on when it will be released.
