Blob Grow

Glide around a big petri dish, swallow pellets and smaller blobs, and avoid anything bigger than you. See how large you can grow.

How to play

  1. Move your mouse, finger or the arrow keys and WASD in the direction you want to go. Your blob follows.
  2. Swallow small pellets to grow. You can also eat any blob that is clearly smaller than you, about 15% less in mass.
  3. A bigger blob can eat you. Touching one that is clearly larger ends the game, apart from a few seconds of safety at the start.
  4. Your score is the biggest mass you reach. Larger blobs move more slowly and slowly shrink, so keep eating.

Tips and strategy

  • Eat pellets first. Chasing blobs while you are tiny is risky, because even an average rival can swallow you.
  • Bigger blobs are slower. Keep a pellet field between you and anything that is hunting you.
  • Use the edges carefully. Walls stop you but also trap you.
  • Look for blobs only slightly smaller than you. They are worth the most and cannot catch you if you keep moving.

FAQ

Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Use the arrow keys or WASD. On a touch screen, put a finger down and drag.
Why does my blob shrink?
Every blob slowly loses a little mass, which stops one player from simply sitting still and winning.
Is there a pause?
Yes. Use the Pause button under the board.
