I need people’s opinion on my game idea (terraria type) blob game?
So I’ve had this game idea for a few days now and I wanted to ask people online if it sounds like something that could actually work or be fun if done properly.
The basic idea is a Terraria-style game, so it would be 2D, survival-focused, have platforming, exploration, combat, progression, and crafting/building too. The main difference is that instead of playing as a normal character, you play as a blob creature. At the start of the game you could choose different blob types that each have unique abilities.
For example, one blob type could morph into a bird-like shape for gliding or faster movement, while another could become heavier and roll really fast downhill to build momentum for fun movement. Since blobs can change shape, I thought movement could be a huge part of the gameplay and make traversal feel very different from most survival games.
One main issue I keep thinking about though is tools and equipment. Since the player is literally a blob, I’m not sure how traditional tools or weapons would work without looking weird. Maybe the blob could morph his body into tools but that creates problems with how hard ores are to mine and stuff but I’m still not sure about that out.Other issues would be how damage would work and how to make the game not to easy and i feel alot of other stuff.
I mainly wanted feedback on whether this concept sounds interesting or if it’s too strange to actually work as a game. I feel like if the movement, abilities, and progression were done well it could be pretty unique, but I wanted to hear other opinions before I go further with the idea.
