New Hypercard platformer game - Blah Blob!

[Byte Knight]

Blah Blob! is a short platformer game made in HyperCard.



You control the titular Blah Blob as you bounce through twenty levels of increasingly devious obstacles.

Play the whole game straight through trying your best not to explode, or speedrun the levels individually or even the whole game and try to beat your best time. Perhaps even have some fun while doing so! (Please note the Blah Blob developer disavows all responsibility for excessive fun or frustration experienced as a direct result of or in conjunction with playing the game.)

Programmer's note: The actual HyperCard stack itself can also be downloaded and played on a classic Macintosh, provided it's fast enough to run it. I recommend a PowerMac G4 or newer with HyperCard 2.3.5 or later.

More information here. Download from there or directly to your vintage Mac from CQ II BBS (cqbbs.ddns.net:6800).

Anyone else playing this? The game is really well-done and beyond what I ever thought Hypercard was capable of. I'm up to level 18 but have had well over 300 deaths...

I’ll need to check it out. Is it your game? Why would it require a G4?

From what the page says, anything less seems to run it too slow. That's why it needs PPC-native Hypercard.

Yes, you need to check it out! And no, it's by a guy named Brian Kendall. I'm sure it requires a G4 because of the smooth graphical animation and background music.

Only 564 deaths to complete it!
