Slime Ball

[spynaz]

Hello. This is actually my first love2d game, called Slime Ball (I really didn't have any other name in mind. ). This game is similar to "Fat Fish" in a way, although you don't grow when you eat, just the blobs start spawning faster. If you crash into bigger blobs then you die. There's also power-ups and abilities that help you out. Your able to save your scores on a high score table that automatically saves when you exit. Please tell me if you encounter any bugs. Also, if you have new ideas for a game, please tell me.

Very well done. The game is solid and polished.

There are two sound files in the game in .wav format that together make about 29 MB (while the whole game has 34 MB). Maybe you want to compress these to .ogg or .mp3 to make the game smaller.

I'll try that.

EDIt: Thanks. I reduced the file size and now your able to download it off the forum.

It's fun, but I have a feeling that the hitboxes on the circles are actually rectangular, as I managed to lose a few times despite clearly not touching anything.

Yea they are square. I don't know how to check for collision with circle hitboxes. Please tell me how.

This might be a good read for you then.

Thanks!

EDIT: I updated it. Now the hit-boxes are circle. It actually helped a lot with surviving when I was testing it.

You could also look at HardonCollider, one of the löve libraries for collision checking. In the case of circles overlapping it's easy enough, but Hardon handles all the other stuff as well.
