Our take on A Boy and His Blob
The defining mechanic is the blob's jelly bean transformations: each bean changes the companion into a different object, turning feeding choices into the central method for crossing hazards and solving puzzles.
What is A Boy and His Blob?
A Boy and His Blob follows a young boy and an alien blob opposing the Emperor of Blobolonia.
Feeding the blob jelly beans causes it to change into 15 useful forms for solving puzzles and escaping danger. Transformations include a cannon, bouncer, ladder, and trampoline. The adventure moves through woods, swamps, caves, the Blobolonian Outskirts, and the Emperor's Citadel across 40 levels. Hidden treasures unlock another 40 challenge stages. The story uses hand-drawn animation and centers on cooperation between the boy and blob as they work through environmental puzzles. The game is a reimagining of an NES classic, with the blob's changing forms serving as the main way to navigate hazards and progress through each area.
