Blame the Bloblings
Level Design | Blueprint Visual Scripting | Unreal Engine
Blame the Bloblings is a solo Unreal Engine 5.6 level built in one week for Epic Games’ 2025 Mega Stack‑O‑Jam. The jam required using the updated Stack‑O‑Bot 2.0 sample to build a level that demonstrated gameplay, visual design, and interactivity.
In this level, the player wakes on the floating Circuit Isles under the guidance of Tutorial-Bot and quickly relearns core mechanics—walking, boosting, flying, bouncing, and using coins as breadcrumbs. Once reactivated, the Objective-Bot introduces the main mechanic: aligning satellite dishes to restore power and rescue Nanobot, a missing companion bot.
The gameplay centers on visual logic and player feedback. Signals respond in real time, satellite alignment triggers success or failure events, and bots provide randomized narration to reinforce progress. The level blends tone, navigation, and systems-driven puzzles into a self-contained, readable arc.
