Who let the blobs out?


<span class="bold">A Boy and His Blob</span>, a reimagining of the endearing puzzle-platformer, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with a 15% launch discount.

Earth is being invaded! Again! By a cute white Blobolonian, seeking help to overthrow the evil Emperor terrorizing its home planet. Luckily, it happens upon an equally charming earthling, and the unlikely duo ventures into Blobolonia, armed with only their determination, their inventiveness, and a backpack full of the alien's favourite snack: jelly beans.

Blobolonia is not a very friendly place, though, so it's fortunate that the lovely Blob is made out of highly huggable but also extremely flexible materials. Need a ladder, a trampoline, a parachute or a protective bubble? Perhaps a bowling ball or a devastating mech? Just fetch the right jelly bean from your trusty backback and let your shapeshifting friend take care of the rest. Because all you need when exploring a colorful alien world filled with angry blobs, is a caring companion and some imaginative cooperation. Oh, and an unlimited supply of unhealthy snacks.


Follow the trail of jelly beans and have a taste of the amazing adventures of <span class="bold">A Boy and His Blob</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 15% discount will last until January 26, 4:59 PM GMT.

Vythonaut: Tell me i'm not the only one that spots Cthulhu in this screenshot. :P
You aren't the only one now.

Hmm that blob looks very useful looking at the various screenshots. Do they call it swiss army blob?

I guess it's T-1000s younger brother.. Be careful little boy, he is evil! He is Robert Patrick!
Not another platformer...
For anyone else wanting to bask in the nostalgia from the original - go here to read the Nintendo Power magazine review of the original...

And I prefer almost everything to platformers :D
Got it yesterday and I've played the first 6 levels or so. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far (even though I never played the NES or Wii versions), but I agree with one of the reviewers here on GOG: I wish they didn't tell you exactly what shape of the blob to use in every single situation. If feels kind of patronizing to me... :\

Painted_Doll: I'm still waiting for a reply for this .
Just to mention, I've played a couple of levels and it's very keyboard friendly. Simple but very amazing game, having a lot of fun with it.

Yay! I loved this on the Gameboy. Hope this version holds up to the nostalgia tainted memories! :-)
