    Wow! This is such a cute world!

    I'm really enjoying running around collecting chests and sending my blobs on adventures.

    Can you tell me if you plan on adding more to it? 

    I also had a question - how can you tell the different rarities apart? I wanted to merge my blobs together, but I don't want to accidentally get rid of a legendary blob by merging it with a common blob.

    Thank you in advance for the answers :)

      Hi there, I am so sorry that I'm just now seeing this. I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to navigating the forums, and hadn't realized you had replied!

      Thank you for trying it out, and your kind words

      There are a lot of things in progress that I'm very excited about. I'm hoping to get it all published as soon as possible

      For the rarities - On the main UI, they are organized from most to least rare:

      1. Gold (Shiny)
      2. Magenta (Ultra)
      3. Orange (Legendary)
      4. Purple (Epic)
      5. Blue (Rare)
      6. Green (Uncommon)
      7. Gray (Common)

      Though, I can't recall this being mentioned anywhere. Adding an instructional would be a good idea

      Thank you again for checking it out. That's awesome!

        Thank you for the response! 

        I'm glad you're still working on this! It has been a fun world for me to drop into.
