Overview

Blob is a top-down online multiplayer arena shooter, in which players are blobs of slime that shoot slime balls at each other.

Its online multiplayer was built using Photon Unity Networking (PUN), which employs a room based system - allowing players to browse a list of user-created rooms (each supporting up to 4 players).

Each room has its own online chat - built with Photon Chat - allowing players to converse while waiting for a game to start.

When a game is started players compete against each other in an enclosed arena, and whoever has the most kills at the end of a game gets their score placed on an online global leaderboard (created using PlayFab).

There's also a single player game mode, that serves as an introduction to the game's mechanics.
