The gist of this game is that it’s a side-scrolling 2D puzzler. The aim is to collect 3 chests on each of 10 stages on 4 separate worlds. In addition, there are 10 challenge stages on each world, making for a total of 80 levels. At the end of the 10th stage on each world, you must defeat a boss, for a total of 4 bosses. As the boy, you give out jelly beans to your blob. Each jelly bean transmogrifies your blob into a different tool, such as a ladder, a cannon, a bouncy ball, a hole in the ground, etc. You have to figure out how to use your blob’s abilities to get from point A to point B while collecting the chests (collect all three to unlock the bonus challenge stage) along the way. Thus, the basic concept is fairly straightforward and simple, and so is the presentation. There’s almost no voice work, except a couple of lines that the boy says to call the blob toward him. The music is completely unobtrusive, and there is not much animation except for the boy, the blob, and variously shaped black blobs (some look a little like frogs or bulls). The backgrounds are basically 2D paintings.While this game does not do a lot, what it does it does very, very well. It’s one of the most visually pleasing games I’ve ever seen for any console. The mechanics are pretty much perfect. The puzzles can be challenging, but not too challenging. And this game has charm up the wazoo. Like most games, you can “die”. However, this is the first game I’ve ever played in which I didn’t wa.
Even if you never played the original game, do not be scared! Pick this baby up and you will absolutely LOVE it! The controls are superb, the music is amazing, the graphics are breathtakingly beautiful and most of all it is a WONDERFUL game. Also, this is made by Wayforward company which is one of the very best game companies with amazing developers around in the game industry. PICK this up if you are looking for a great Wii Game because this game is very underrated and was not loved by enough people who do not have an open mind because they are too stuck with the call of doody games.
I got this one for my kids for Christmas, together with a few others.We found out that this was the one the kids played most.The look and feel is gorgeous, the puzzles are of a reasonable difficulty and the violence is relatively limited – something I pay great attention to when it comes to my kids. Essentially as far as I have seen (we did not complete the game yet) it is limited to the death of the hero when he falls in water or from too high, or when he touches one of the big bad black blobs. In any case there are lots of restore points – the only problem I see with that is the classic issue of teaching the kids that death is not that important and that you have another chance anyway – but here is not the place to discuss that matter.One thing that would have been nice would have been to be able to save several games so that the members of the family could progress each at his own speed.It would also be nice to have a multiplayer mode but this is not practical with the nature of the game. Oh well.One good unadvertised surprised was the availability of the game in French and Spanish except for the voice (not a big deal considering the game). This may not be very important for most of the US customers but my kids speak both French and Spanish but little English.All in all one of the best games we have for our Wii.
This game is a puzzle game, and not really a platformer. This must be said. Some people will get stuck on certain levels, but there is always a way to get through. For instance, it took me 15 minutes to figure out that I had to feed my blob a trampoline bean in a hole and then push a rock on top of the trampoline to provide a step at a higher platform, because otherwise the bird kept eating the beans I would feed. This game is very similar to Braid for the PS3 which is a download, and usually gets a 5 out of 5 reviews. Braid is 15 dollars, but A Boy and his Blob is much easier and I enjoy the plot and setting better. A Boy and his Blob also uses the new
A Boy and His Blob is a 2D side-scrolling puzzler with a gameplay twist of feeding your blob companion different flavored jelly beans. Each flavor gives your skeletally-challenged friend the ability to transform into an object. For example, if you fed the blob a punch flavored jelly bean he will turn into a hole. Get it? Punch > hole? You ccan then use this hole so that enemies will fall into it or you could jump in to get to an area below you. There are 15 different shapes in all including a ladder, an anvil or even a cannon.You can play A Boy and His Blob with the Wiimote and nunchuck but I prefer to use the Classic Controller Pro. The game works fine with either control set-up. The art style is reminiscent of a cartoon. In fact, the theme of the game is friendship and there are little reminders of these characters’ friendship throughout the game. There is even a button dedicated to hugging your alien friend. As far as I can tell there is no in-game benefit of hugging your companion but it is just a little touch to highlight the relationship of these two characters (not entirely unlike Elliot and E.T.)Despite all of this, A Boy and His Blob does offer a fair bit of challenge. While the side-scrolling aspects are pretty standard, some of the puzzles in this game are truly devious in ways reminiscent of Adventures of LoLo or Oddworld. If you are picking this game up for your children be prepared to step in and help them out (and you will probably be stumped once or twice your.
I love the sceneery in this game it ranges from colored sunsets to calm nights only being lit by lightbugs. I do get confused on how to defeat the bosses. I have to call blob multiple times before he gets to me. I also wish there were more levels to the game but I would recommend this to anyone. The storyline was cool also where you have to get blob back to Blobonia his home planet. The powers blob has is a wide range alos like rocket ships to a giant ball.
I have to say, i love this game. I got this game for my energetic, clever 5 yr old son for christmas. After a first try it was cristened “too hard” and both kids played (age 5 & 9) mario bros….(which is a fun, frenetic energy game) then we gave blob another try. I’ll tell you exactly what i like about “blob” …it is a little difficult for a 5 yr old at times and may need some parent (or older sister) help…but it’s a THINKER. you have to figure out which jellybean you need to use, and in what order to accomplish the task..so, you need to use your BRAIN..lol..and it’s fun and rewarding when you DO get it right. I enjoy watching how my son thinks…sometimes we will think of the solution at the same time and he’ll say “wait! mom don’t tell me –it think i got it” The game also has (which i initally read in a review) engrossing, beautiful art….atmospheric..nice music, too. And it’s cute. Blob is cute…and the “bad guys” the “inky blobs” are almost a little humorous…we kept laughing after we dropped an anvil blob on the bad inky blob’s head and he just kept on walking with an anvil on his head.overall, it is a great game to play WITH your child…hope i can find somthing else like it when we finish it. Even my 9yr old daughter was challenged at times with this game. She helped him defeat the first “boss level” with all of us suggesting ideas in the background.i’d say 5 is the youngest age for this game, with no upper age limit, because i actually enjoy this game (-:
I didn’t think I would find another awesome Wii game at this point but this one really surprised me, it’s amusing, great gameplay and graphics. The puzzles are the best part, it starts getting harder when you advance.
Love the update for this game. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but it’s smooth sailing now. :) Cute puzzle solving style game.
Our toddler began playing this game with me, and it has become one of her favorite games And I couldn’t be more pleased.This gorgeous puzzle platformer is filled with beautiful landscapes, thought-provoking but solvable puzzles, and a minimum of "scary parts." It doesn’t have instructions or dialogue to read, but the level design teaches you how to play, and is one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had playing a game–and it’s perfect for our little girl who isn’t quite reading yet!
