Collect as many droplets as possible into a Blob and avoid being consumed by the darkness in this extremely addictive and oddly satisfying new game inspired by physics, liquids and smooth fluid motion. Swipe and absorb even more droplets, and watch out for the dark-colored ones. You can instantly clean up the darkness by storing energy and clicking on the tree icon. Absorbing clean droplets also slowly purifies the Blob. This game is novice-friendly; it’s very easy to play, but hard to master as it becomes really challenging the close you get to beating the high score. Main features: - free to play - Intuitive controls - hard to master - custom skins - awesome physics
