Blob Island

This is a fun game. Surprisingly large amount of content for just 2 weeks of work. I like the pacing of the fights, and the way you can avoid them or seek them out if you choose. The game rewards exploration with equipment and items, and requires a bit of planning to progress towards the end. A little on the difficult side for my personal tastes (I wasn't able to beat the game), but that's just me, and only after you've explored a bit so it's not unfair difficulty. The background music gets a little repetitive after a while, but I like that there's a different music for the fights. I like that the battle arena clock has different graphical elements for some of the fights, like the spider webs when you're fighting spiders and so on. The enemy designs are good, and there's a variety as you go through the game. The UI is very streamlined, though I think I may have preferred a more full-screen inventory screen. I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything to equip some of the items you pick up at first. Oh and the level up selector came up unexpectedly the first time and I accidentally chose my first upgrade randomly. Maybe a little 1-2 second timer after it appears to prevent accidental double-clicks? Overall, a fantastic entry.
