New small update, ver 1.96
Small update brings:
Some more minor SFX optimizations.
Touch button in Controls is not visible for non-touch devices.
Name input now lasts for 30 seconds instead of 20.
Small but important garbage release change. If pending garbage is cancelled but new garbage arrives before your next blobs show up, new garbage will not be released as it was the case before but it will stay as pending. This is important tweak for chaotic matches, especially when many skilled players/CPUs are playing.
Enjoy!
Small update, ver 1.95
Small update brings:
Bigger team icons on character selection screen.
Some more SFX optimizations.
In PUZZLE mode starring is improved after connecting the blobs. When you slowly connect the blobs now stars show up in all blobs in that small delay before they are cleared.
Enjoy!
New update, ver 1.94!
Small but important update brings:
New awesome music track by Bjulin (http://bjulin.de) ! The track is called Bonus 3.
Great SFX improvements and optimizations. Now when playing with 4+ players the game sounds much smoother especially if you play 8-16 player matches. 8+ player matches felt like the game is trying to kill you with sound effects :) Not just that it sounds better but it also improves performance of the game which is especially important for the upcoming Android version.
SFX of a type is not called more than once at a time and also the SFX volume is dynamically lowered by a % depending on how many players are playing
OST of the game should be available very soon for those that like the music and want to further support the game and the composers.
Enjoy,
Endi
Anniversary update! Ver 1.93
A little over a year ago Raining Blobs was released on Steam! Over 25 updates changed and improved the game so much that I could release Raining Blobs 2 now :)
Update brings:
Fixed Endless Battle bug that affected AI difficulty scaling when 2 or more players played together. For example if 2 players played together against 2 AI players, the first AI player would stay at the lowest difficulty and only second AI player would get harder as you beat it.
Since I got couple requests for removing girls from playing boards I added new option in Options - "Board Background" that let you remove the girls if you want to play on clear boards.
Nasty rare bug fixed when sending garbage after All Clear. You can look at this video and see that instead of just cancelling own garbage player in the middle also sends garbage to the opponents - https://youtu.be/L9CYE9mOwpc?t=387
Updated MonoGame framework library to latest version. Updates to the library are not visible in the game, just some internal improvements and bug fixes that were not affecting the game.
Lately I was busy with daily job and had to take a little break but don't worry, Android and Xbox One versions should be coming soon! ;)
Enjoy!
New update, version 1.92!
Update brings:
Tournament mode can now be played with MATCH 4 and 1 STAR rules once it is finished at least once.
2 new achievements for finishing Tournament with non default rules.
2 new stats for tracking max wins in Endless Battle mode when playing with non default rules.
Some small UI tweaks.
Enjoy!
New update, version 1.9 available now!
New update brings:
New RULES option in VARIANTS. Now the secret "Match 4" mode is not a secret but you can choose it in RULES together with new mode "1 STAR". In "1 STAR" mode you play with no stars. Press UP to convert current falling blobs into stars. Only 1 star is needed to clear the group. Focus in this mode is on big groups. Achievmeents and Leaderboards are disabled in non default rules.
Endless Battle mode can now be played with altered rules but achievements and leaderboards will be disabled.
Endless Battle mode is a bit easier.
Small UI changes throughout the menu.
Added whole new Touch Input logic. Currently this works on Android but in future updates you might be able to use it with your touch display.
Android version is almost done and I have extremely positive feedback on it! You should see it on Play Store soon!
Enjoy,
Endi
Android demo available now!
I am happy to tell you that Android demo version is available at itch.io now!

Only thing left for Android version is rebinding of touch buttons in Options/Controls.
Waiting for your precious feedback!
Enjoy,
Endi
New update, ver 1.82!
New small update brings:
Rare Puzzle mode bug fixed thanks to your youtube videos. Girl background was changing when it shouldn't and even glitching in a rare case.
Small Leaderboards, Stats and Variants screen tweaks.
Game should be starting a bit faster now before the Loading appears.
If player 1 plays with gamepad and enters Keyboard 1 or 2 setup screens he is stuck there unless the keys are rebound. Now you can press back button on gamepad to exit.
Fixed small Puzzle leaderboards glitch because Pipiru made 10M+ and broke the layout :)
3 new screen effects in options. Unlike the original effects, these don't kill details and text remains readable.
Let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
New update, ver 1.8 - Stats!
New update brings:
Stats. 39 useful stats to keep track of your game play.
Unfortunately for many of you that have played the game a lot, stats will start from 0. I tried to extract as much stat data as I could from your leaderboards and achievements so you should have some stats data right away.
You have Leaderboards, Achievements and Stats for everything in the game, now I can finally focus on Xbox One port without worrying that something is missing ;)
