Blobs are made of rigid-body circles arranged like a string of beads, using skin-force and pressure-force tricks that the developer found more robust than fully custom physics. The game launches on Steam with achievements and an online leaderboard, and a mobile version is planned for later. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How did the developer of sobosuba simulate soft-body blob physics in Godot? Each blob is built from a perimeter of small rigid-body circles arranged like a string of beads. A skin-force keeps adjacent beads tight together, while a separate pressure force pushes the beads in or out along their normals to maintain a target volume, mimicking squishy soft-body deformation. _Developers experimenting with soft-body tricks in Godot can find similar physics breakdowns on daily.dev._ ### Was the soft-body physics approach in sobosuba originally meant to be permanent? No, the rigid-body-circle approach was originally intended as a temporary hack while building sobosuba, a 2048-style merge game. It ended up proving more robust than every attempt at implementing fully custom soft-body physics, so the developer kept it as the final solution. _Game developers weighing quick hacks against custom engines can track these lessons on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Check Out Ringworld Architect, Domino-Based Puzzle Game Made in Godot](https://daily.dev/posts/check-out-ringworld-architect-domino-based-puzzle-game-made-in-godot-taluyooma) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Check Out This Godot-Powered Top-Down Puzzle Shooter](https://daily.dev/posts/check-out-this-godot-powered-top-down-puzzle-shooter-gocnkgrxo) · 80 LEVEL · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#physics](https://daily.dev/tags/physics), [#godot](https://daily.dev/tags/godot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/godot-game-with-awesome-spin-on-2048-formula-wtbquxbx5) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Godot Game With Awesome Spin On 2048 Formula","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/godot-game-with-awesome-spin-on-2048-formula-wtbquxbx5","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/godot-game-with-awesome-spin-on-2048-formula-wtbquxbx5"},"datePublished":"2026-08-12T11:52:15.451Z","dateModified":"2026-08-12T11:52:39.389Z","description":"A physics-driven merge game called sobosuba puts a squishy, soft-body spin on the 2048 formula, built in Godot.
