Blobby Connect menu showing today's six boards for a family group: the daily challenge, ranked 1st of 14, and the 30, 60 and 90 Taps and 1:00 and 2:00 tiles — Six boards a day, with your place in your group.

A fresh board of pink, cyan, cream and green jelly blobs, each color with its own mark, with same-color neighbors merged into single gummy shapes — One tap pops a group. Each color carries its own mark.

A twelve-blob group popping for 144 points while new blobs drop in from the top — Twelve blobs make 144 points: size squared.

End-of-run screen showing a new best of 4,871 in 60 Taps, a Gold tier with a bar reading 1,129 to Platinum, the run's biggest group, pops and average group, and today's three quests with this run's progress — Your tier, how far to the next, and today's quests.

Stats screen with five weeks of play, a 30 Taps score chart against the Bronze, Silver and Gold lines, and the tiers of recent runs — Five weeks of play and each mode's trend.

Groups get their own boards and medals.

The large Home Screen widget for a family group: the daily challenge ranked 1st, two of three quests done, a 12-day streak, and a tier bar for each of the five modes, with places on the three played so far — Today's boards and quests on your Home Screen.

Blobby Connect is a fast puzzle game for iPhone. The board is full of jelly blobs, and a tap pops any connected group of the same color. The blobs above drop into the gap, squish as they land, and new ones fall in from the top. A group of n blobs scores n², so every turn is a choice: take the points now, or set up a bigger group for later.

Runs last 30 to 90 taps, or one to two minutes, which makes it a good game for a coffee break. Each day brings a new challenge board and three quests, and groups let a family or a set of friends see who’s ahead today. Blobby Connect is currently in TestFlight beta with a small group of family and friends.
