Blobs is a cool game based on the old arcade game Attaxx. The object of the game is too acquire more blobs than any other players. If you're playing one or two players, each player starts out with two blobs in opposing corners. Or if you're playing with three or four players, each player starts with one blob in a corner.
The rules of the game are fairly simple. At each turn, players must select one of their blobs on the board. Then, the player clicks on a square for the blob to move to. Blobs can move to a square that is touching their original (up, down, right, left, diagonally), which will cause them to duplicate a blob into that square. Or, blobs can also move to a square that is two squares away (up, down, right, left, diagonally), which will make them jump to that square. When a blob jumps, the square which he jumped from is then empty.
If you select the rocks option from the Preferences menu, the game will randomly place a pattern of "rocks" on the board. Any squares with rocks cannot be used at all by any blobs.
If you're playing either one or three players, one of the players will be the computer. You can select the difficulty level at which the computer will play in the Difficulty menu.
