Mushroom 11 is a... blob-based (???... physics-based) puzzle platformer wherein you erase a blob so it can grow towards progression.

Like most great indie puzzle games these days, this was originally a game-jam game that is now expanded and fleshed out into a proper title

I haven't seen anything like this, and it's just so fun, more people need to know about this game.

Here's some info and media from their press page:

[quote][b]Game Description[/b]
Destroy it and it will grow.
Mold an amorphous organism into any shape by pruning its cells. New cells will immediately grow, allowing you to traverse a mysterious world across brain-twisting obstacles, overcome swarms of bizarre mutated creatures, and understand the true nature of the devastation from which you emerged.

[b]History[/b]
Mushroom 11 was started at the 2012 Global Game Jam event in New-York City by Itay Keren with his wife, Julia Keren-Detar, and the Game Jam’s Ouroboros theme helped inspire the project’s unusual mechanic of continual destruction and growth. The team soon joined forces with artist Simon Kono and producer Kara Kono. The expanded team has been focusing on creating the full game experience, visuals and narrative leading up to the upcoming release. Mushroom 11’s back story has been inspired in part by a Ted Talk from Paul Stamets as well as Itay’s view on environment, technology and human nature. Mushroom 11 is backed by Indie Fund.

[b]Features[/b]
• Unique Puzzle-Platformer where players remove cells to allow growth, and prune themselves to traverse the landscape and solve its challenges.
• A wide variety of novel puzzle techniques, based on the mushroom’s motion.
• 7 vast worlds to explore, each comes with a unique boss to defeat.
• Mushroom 11 has teamed up with Electronica supergroup the Future Sound of London for the game’s background music.
