Blob Bloom is a cell-growing .io game with a soft, sunny look. You start as a tiny blob with a cheerful face in a big arena sprinkled with candy pellets. Every pellet you swallow makes you a little bigger, and once you are at least a quarter bigger than another blob you can roll right over it and eat it whole. The catch is that size has a price: the bigger you get, the slower you move, and big blobs slowly lose mass over time, so you always have to keep eating.

Two tricks decide most chases. Split launches half of your mass forward in a quick jump that catches blobs which think they are out of reach, but it leaves your pieces smaller and easier to snap up until they merge back together a few seconds later. Eject shoots out a small bit of your mass, handy for slipping away a touch faster, feeding a friend or baiting a hungry rival. A round lasts five minutes and your score is the biggest mass you reach, so a bold run that peaks high counts even if you get eaten afterwards.

Play solo in an arena full of AI blobs with their own habits: grazers that munch pellets, hunters that chase and split at anything smaller, and cowards that flee from the first shadow. Or press Play online to join a match with up to eight people, with AI blobs filling the places nobody took. Pick one of eight colour schemes, keep an eye on the minimap and the top 10 leaderboard, and with a free TapNPlay account your best peak mass goes on the high score board.

How to play

  1. Move the mouse (or drag anywhere on a touch screen) to steer your blob toward that spot.
  2. Eat the small pellets to grow. Blobs at least 25% smaller than you can be eaten by rolling over them, and bigger blobs can eat you.
  3. Press Space (or the Split button) to split and launch half of your mass forward. Your pieces merge back after a while.
  4. Press W (or the Eject button) to shoot out a little mass. Hold it to keep ejecting.
  5. Grow as big as you can before the five-minute round ends: your peak mass is your score.

FAQ

How much bigger do I need to be to eat another blob?

At least 25% more mass, and your blob has to cover most of the other one. Two blobs of about the same size just slide past each other.

Why do my split pieces not join back together?

After a split each piece has a merge timer of about ten seconds, a little longer the more mass you had. Until it runs out the pieces push apart; after that they drift together and merge.

Can I play with friends, and what if nobody is online?

Play online puts you in a room of up to eight players; after ten seconds with two or more the room's host can start right away. Empty places are filled with AI blobs, and Play gives you a solo arena with twenty AI blobs any time.
