[h2]It's Finally Happening!![/h2]

[h2]What's Different from the Arcade Edition?[/h2]
Some of you may have played our game at one of our Arcade Locations around the US. We're actually planning a big arcade update after our Couch Edition release that'll synchronize a number of features but to note some of the big updates...
[h3]16 New Levels[/h3]
Lots of unique levels to experience with a variety of features across 4 galaxies. Destructible satellites, tons of explosive crates, weapons on demand, and toggle-able energy gates!
[h3]Melee Weapons[/h3]
Knives and swords are here and do extra damage when dashing. They also can only be blocked with other melee weapons so dashing back into a melee weapon won't save you!
[h3]Super Weapons[/h3]
Four new super weapons have been introduced that can be unlocked by playing through all 16 levels! I would list them all here but that would ruin the element of surprise! Maybe you can spot them in the trailer above?
[h3]Blob Dojo[/h3]
A sandbox training mode of sorts where blobs go to become unblobable. Mess around with all the weapons and mechanics with no real goal other than blasting everything in sight to smithereens! Spawn droves of Drones or CPUs and take them down one by one or fill the screen with explosive crates and light em up! Set it to a team match so you don't kill your friends!
[h3]Blob Bombardment[/h3]
Dodgeball but with cannons! You can customize the number of dodgeballs with up to ten for maximum pandemonium. The dodgeballs turn neutral if they hit the wall or another dodgeball and are safe to be collected. Horde all the dodgeballs if you want but you'll bloat up with each one slowing you down and making it harder to avoid incoming shots!
[h3]Food Fight[/h3]
Try and eat the most tacos within the time limit or be the first blob to reach the target number of tacos! Weapons can be turned on in the settings to make this game mode even more ridiculous!
[h3]Combo King[/h3]
Every consecutive kill adds to your score but it resets when you die! Either try and be the first blob to reach the target combo or have the highest recorded combo when the timer runs out! This one can go on for a while without a timer so don't set it too high unless you know how to block those dashes!
[h3]What About Online?[/h3]
This was something we spent a lot of time and money developing and testing and trying to figure out. Ultimately we realized we couldn't swing it on our own, not to mention we weren't going to be able to afford server costs. We felt it was best to focus our energy on the core gameplay and we could possibly revisit development of the online component in the future if there was a community large enough to warrant such an endeavor. Online development is nightmare-level difficult and that hard work doesn't really mean anything if no one ends up in the servers to support its existence. Suffice to say, it's still in the cards if we can build a vibrant player base and find the right person for the job!
