New Feature Blob Powerup!

Hello all,

We have just released the Blob Powerup! Let us know what you think!

Lets start making some Blob tracks!

 

Awesome new updates

 

That’s what I was thinking as well

 

Hey quick question is it invincible?

 

wat hapen to blob

 

Only dies to bombs like the Truck.

 

awsome brett!!!! what is the next powerup?

 

OMFG it happened this update is what i've been waiting 3 years for lets go I'm back bebes

 

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS, FINALLY. The power does look kinda strange tho. I mean its not even square. please make the outline a bit thicker and make it a square size

 

yea its true it's not even square... btw u spelled exited not excited....

 

Do you mean it doesn't have pointed corners, but instead it has rounded corners?

 

It need pointed cornners who wants round corners

 

Who really cares.

 

rounded corners makes it look smoother.

 

Pointed corners < round corners < no corners

 

No the corners are fine, but the shape isnt square, it kind of looks like it has been squashed.

I actually just got out my ruler, the width is greater than the height, this is a rectangle not a square.

 

Thats a good catch! This is true, the icon appears to be a slight rectangle. As for the actual Blob PowerUp it is square in game. It can appear squished when it is resting on a track surface because of the forces acting on it.

Forces:
1) Gravity is trying to push down on the Blob
2) Track surface is trying to push up against the Blob.

(Note: this is a simplified example. Their can be many other forces acting on it, such as: powerups, other track segments, etc. )

Since the Blob uses springs to keep its square shape, the forces from gravity and the track slightly squish it because the springs can only handle so much force. This is also the reason why exerting excessive force on any of the vehicles can cause the vehicle to be misshaped.

Hope that helps!
