Gobble: a game by Andre Marianiello

This is absolutely one game I would have done by myself. It’s a creative mix of Snake, Circle Chain and String Avoider.

It’s called Gobble and it’s a really good game!

Gobble

That’s what Andre told me:

I made a game based on your string avoider tutorial, and it was inspired by your circle chain game. Perhaps you would like to review it?

In Gobble you control something like a Snake, that must collect all balls in the stage. When you collect a ball, it sticks to your tail, and you have to avoid your tail to touch other balls. Easy? Yes… for the first 3 or 4 stages.

Then, different kinds of ball come to make your life harder.

Gobble features an hypnotic background and a nice music… right now I am writing this review with the background music of Gobble… nice choice of colors, design and music!

Gobble has MochiAds ads, and it’s very a pity that Newgrounds blammed it even if it had a score of 3.34.

Nevermind, from now on you can play it on my site, and there’s more!

If you manage to create an awesome game, I’ll publish it to my site, I’ll review, I’ll feature it on the “experiments” column and I will let you have your Adsense code in one of the two ads under the game!

This means that now I am waiting Andre’s Adsense cliend id and ad channel!

Think about it, give Andre Feedback and send me your works!

    it is a great game, but the one thing that annoyed me was if there was two circles right next to each other you would eat one then die right away from the one next to the one you ate:(

    Also how do we get you to review our games. I made a pretty awesome game called Ragdoll Laser Dodge. I published it a couple days ago.

    I have to say that I really enjoyed playing playing this game, keep up the good work Andre!

    Nice game

    I have two questions about Newgrounds; On what criteria do they judge a game for it to get blammed and what happens when a game gets blammed?

    Hah, I guess he beat me to it.. I was in the process of making a snake/ string avoider type game

  8. AsianSpark on November 21st, 2007 8:15 am

    Can we send sponsored games too?

    That’s so funny. When I first played this game, it reminded me of Circle Chain so I was convinced that it must be the most recent game in your experiment. It’s a lot of fun, and I like how the difficulty progresses. Great job Andre!

  11. Josh on November 23rd, 2007 8:49 pm

    finally beat it with 46 lives. The best level is the second last one with all the orange ones gj lol!

    hi, nice experiment, nice game
    i have a great (at least i suppose ) suggestion for the game.
    What about a predefined pattern of different balls to be inserted in the right order like perls in a necklace?
    or you can also let the player create different combination of balls with some combinations that gives the player some extra abilities.

    ..or this idea is already implemented in the late levels?
    i don’t know because i stop playing before i reach the end.
    bye

    “I did really good untill the ‘halfway there’ lvl”
    Same here, awesome game though!

  14. This game is good on November 25th, 2007 11:20 am

    There’s a trick where you can stay in a spot and just move the snake’s head around and around the balls to avoid the balls getting hit… Of course, it doesn’t work for the blue balls and maybe the others…

  15. And Mar on November 26th, 2007 5:25 am

    Yes, thats what I use. Very smart!

  16. Ben on November 27th, 2007 10:10 am
