Blob

A 3D puzzle platformer featuring a Blob with a split mechanic.

Split, solve, merge - master the art of being in two places at once

Blob Divide draws heavy inspiration from Valve's iconic Portal 2 test chambers, reimagining the puzzle-solving experience with a unique split-merge mechanic. Instead of creating portals, you split yourself.

"What if the companion cube could split in two and solve puzzles independently?"

Key Inspirations:

• Portal 2 — Test chamber design, puzzle philosophy, environmental storytelling
• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons — Dual-character control scheme

The heart of Blob Divide is the split-merge system:

Single Blob (E) → Split → BlobA (Green) + BlobB (Cyan)
                              ↓                ↓
                         (Solve Puzzle)   (Solve Puzzle)
                              ↓                ↓
                         Move Close ← → Merge → Complete Level

• Require weight to activate (blob or box)
• Control gates and doors
• Must be held down continuously

• Controlled by pressure buttons
• Block passage until activated
• Multiple gates can share buttons

• Can be pushed by walking into them
• Have weight and physics (mass: 50, gravity enabled)
• Fall off ledges realistically

• Only opens for merged blob
• Rejects split blobs with red flash
• Glows bright green on successful completion
• Triggers level complete sequence

1. Split Timer: 30 seconds before forced merge
2. Merge Distance: Blobs auto-merge within 3.0 units
3. Completion: Must be merged to exit level
4. Death: Fall off map = restart (planned)
5. No Combat: Pure puzzle-solving experience

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/blob.git
   cd blob

2. Open in Unity

   • Open Unity Hub
   • Click "Add" → Select blob folder
   • Open project (Unity will import assets)

3. Open the test scene

   • Navigate to Assets/Scenes/
   • Open Main.unity

4. Press Play!

   • Test character movement with WASD
   • Press E to split
   • Solve the puzzle
   • Merge and complete the level

Navigate through test chambers by splitting yourself into two blobs, solving puzzles that require presence in multiple locations, then merging to reach the exit.

1. Start: Spawn as single merged blob
2. Split (E): Divide into green and cyan blobs
3. Control Both:
   • Green blob with WASD + Space
   • Cyan blob with Arrows + Right Shift
4. Solve Puzzle: Use both blobs simultaneously
   • Hold buttons
   • Push stones
   • Navigate gates
5. Merge: Move blobs close together (auto-merge at 3 units)
6. Exit: Enter the door as merged blob
