A Boy and His Blob
About the Game
The far-off kingdom of Blobolonia is threatened by an evil emperor. An alien blob escapes from Blobolonia, searching for help, and he crash lands on planet Earth. Help the pair save Blobolonia from the Emperor's tyrannical reign! A Boy and his Blob is based on David Crane's Nintendo game of the same name.
Gameplay & Core Systems
As the nameless Boy, you have control over an alien blob who can transform into different objects when you feed him different flavored jellybeans. Using the different tools that Blob can transform into, it's up to players to reach the exit door at the end of each level. Each level also has three hidden treasure chests in it. If all three are found, a bonus level is unlocked. The bonus levels are Challenge Levels, which are more difficult, and often based around using a specific skill or jellybean flavor.
