The Fittest of the Post-Apocalypse is an action adventure game where you play as a small blob-like creature with a singular eyeball known as the Eyeblob where you absorb abandoned weaponry and morph your blob body to utilize them in combat against the hostile predators that roam the nuclear wasteland! Defeat and dethrone the Apex predator that is driving your Eyeblob species to near extinction!

DISCLAIMER: This game was made as a part of the University of California: Santa Barbara's Gaucho Game Lab program, which offers comprehensive courses on video game development to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science undergraduate students! They have their own itch.io page, which you can visit by clicking this link! This game specifically was my final project for the introductory class. If you are interested in supporting the program, please feel free to visit their itch.io page and either donating or spread the word through social media! This page will be deleted in its entirety once the Gaucho Game Lab's itch.io page uploads the game.

Absorb to Win!

The items that the Eyeblob can absorb include:

• Guns
• Axes

Eyeblob Forms

• The eyeblob can assume unique forms based on the weapon it has equipped!
• Base form: No weapon is equipped, but the eyeblob can use this form to absorb any nearby objects or other Eyeblobs to increase its absorption capacity!
• Gun form: Assumes the form of a gun where it can shoot bullets from a safe distance!
• Axe form: Assumes the form of an axe and can unleash devastating physical attacks, from a 3-hit combo that the player can access if they time their attack button around the end of an attack, or a simple spin attack when midair!
• Eyeball form: When the player gets launched out of its eyeblob body either when they get hit with no items absorbed or willingly throwing their eyeball. If they get hit, its game over!
• Every Eyeblob form that isn't the eyeball form has an aiming capability, try them out!
• Absorb multiples of the same item for increased damage!
