CONFETTI CARNIVAL












A bizzare but perfectly presented physics puzzle game.
 It's instantly fun, part puzzle part stunt-em-up action game with twitch game-play elements. 


In this game you control several blobs of sentient goo in turn, clicking to fling them across the level. Your objective is to set off the level's bombs, but they can only be detonated by your blood. There isn't a nicer way of putting it. As a blob, you have to gash yourself open or blow yourself up to shower the bobs with your internal fluids. They explode, and yay, confetti !!


The main challenge is : how do i knock all these bombs into roughly the same area so i can splash them all at once?
What should i smash myself against to bleed over them most comprehensively?
And which blobs should i take in control of to splash which set of bombs?
Blue bombs will only be detonated by blue goo, red by red and so on. Sometimes bombs are arranged in sticky strands that block off other bombs, so ther's some strategy in which colour to eliminate first. This is all done with a squishy exuberance, polish and big grins. It feels like PopCap and 2D Boy made a game together: Peggle of Goo. Your goos smile as they rupture themselves, and splat satisfyingly on impact. And after each level, you unlock a new ability or mechanic.
