A downloadable game

This started as a tech demo about the marching squares algorithm and how it can be used to create metaballs in 2D space. I originally was doing the algorithm in Python using PyGame, which was very slow. I ported it to as3, learning as I went (though I had some experience). The gameplay of this only came during the last few hours of the jam. Sorry it's not very developed gamewise! But I learned a lot through this experience and am fairly happy with how it turned out. As for the theme, my inspiration for the gameplay was being stuck inside a lava lamp. And what do we do in lava lamps? That's the question this game seeks to answer. Pay attention to the beginning for the grand cinematic cutscene! Hints? Try to stay with the slow bubbles. But those generally are smaller! Also, as the game progresses the green blobs will slowly get smaller and smaller. You've been WARNED. <<ARROW keys to move. ENTER to start the game/restart>>
