    The game is really fun, and pretty challenging but I like it and so do my grand kids. The only downside is there is only one game profile. So if someone wants to try it out they need to start at the last round which is hard for a beginner or just play the prior rounds strictly to navigate through them and get a feel for the game. There are 3 treasure chests in each round that you have to find in order to get to the next level. If you play a round that has already been cleared they won’t show up again. All in all a great game that you have to think outside the box to solve some of the levels. To be honest I watched youtube videos on some of them :)

    Written by my teenaged son, read and approved by me:Unlike several minimalist games, “A Boy and His Blob” proves to be a successful, heartwarming reimagining of an only average NES title with Ghibli-esque graphics and a touching tale of friendship, heroes, and… jelly beans.Story: 9.5/10 – You really don’t need to elaborate on friendship, which is what this game is all about. Instead of focusing its attention on convoluted storylines (which I don’t actually dislike), it turns its attention to a simple tale about a blob who, trying to save his home planet of Blobonia from a dark emperor, meets a young 8-year-old boy, who steadily develops a bond with him. The hug button further elaborates on this.Gameplay: 10/10 – So what if the boy can’t fight? His best friend, the blob, has over 17 transformations to access via several jelly beans that the boy has on hand. These transformations are used to solve environmental puzzles, attack enemies, and help the boy get around the world when he can’t do it on his own. Plus, several transformations (the Doppelganger and the robot) are very interesting to use.Characters: 10/10 – Although there are only two main characters, they convey the message, and although they can seem flat at times, their friendship with each other more than makes up for it.Fun: 10/10 – An excellent puzzle/platformer, with interesting jelly bean-based gameplay mechanics and excellent graphical designs to boot. Plus, it provides replay value with over 40 bonus levels to.

    This is a fun game for ages 8 – 13.This is a 2D side-scrolling arcade adventure game.I’m 52 and I played through it, and it took me about 40-hours to do so. Depending on the kid’s age, it could take a lot longer for the younger ones to complete the game; up to 80 hours. There are 40 mains levels in the game. The early levels are pretty short, and can take only 5 – 10 minutes to get through them, but as you get further and further into the game, the levels get more challenging and take a lot longer to complete.Each level has a simple objective: travel with your blob friend to the end of the level, exit the level, and that’s all. That sounds simple until you come across obstacles which block your path. Some obstacles are gaps on the ground that you cannot jump across, or the road contains sharp spikes that can kill you. Sometimes objects fall from overhead. This is where your blob friend comes into play. The blob enables you to get across those obstacles, but you have to figure out what special ability of your blob to use in different situations.You can turn your blob into a ladder, a parachute, a rocket, a hole in the ground, a trampoline, a balloon, a bouncy ball, a cannon, and much more. Each of the blob’s abilities become part of your strategy to get through your journey in the strange and wonderful environments.There are four environments you play through. The first 10-levels are in the forests of earth, then the next 10-levels are underground inside caverns. Once you ge.

    I recently got this game for my 7 year old daughter and it quickly became her favorite. She likes games with a combination of puzzle and story. So far her favorites have been Lost Winds (both 1 & 2) and Endless Ocean (both 1 & 2).This game has beautiful graphics that remind me of a Hayao Miyazaki movie (Spirited Away, Ponyo, etc.). It also has great background music and simple but good sound effects with voiceover. The story is simple but compelling to my daughter. Gameplay and animation are smooth and fluid. Puzzles are creative, starting very easy and become progressively more challenging. She loves being able to hug the blob – that was a great touch from the game designers. The game is a creative, gorgeous, fun world in which to play and solve puzzles.Negatives: The single biggest problem with this game is that there is only one save slot, so only one person at a time can have an ongoing saved game. This is an inexplicable oversight in such an otherwise well designed and thought out game. The controls seem a bit more complex than they need to be, but my daughter handles them OK. It doesn’t use the Wii motion or pointer and controls may have been simpler if it had. There is no multiplayer, nor did I expect one in a game like this.

  5. Vocaloid

    A Boy and his Blob wii edition is the ‘remake’ of the classic Nes Title “A Boy and His Blob”. This game however takes beyond just simply being a remake and has changed into its own exclusive title for the wii system.Immediately from the start the player is plunged into an active environment. No long tutorials or reading here, it’s all about experimentation. Earlier levels have signs to help players figure out the game.The Animation: Smooth, crisp,clean and drawn in an almost fairy-tale like world. Don’t be fooled by the cover into thinking “A Boy and His Blob” is another shovelware wii title or a game that only younger people can enjoy, this game can be played by anyone who likes puzzles, casual gaming, or played the NES game. The graphics present a time-telling story that can be related to the newest Disney title “The Princess and the Frog”. Modern mechanisms used such as ominous gray skies in the swamp area, or the sweet soft glow of light peeking through the darken corners of a sleeping forest. I love how after the first boss battle the boy’s silhouette emerges from the dark with only the moon and city lights to guide him to his next hideout. The characters are also hand-drawn in 2D glory, an effect that we haven’t seen in awhile since the days of “Monkey Island”.Music: Relaxing most of the time depending on what stage the boy is on. It doesn’t loop and offers a change of pace from time to time. Sound effects are quirky improvised. One area includes where you can hear the.

    Extremely cute game and fun for all ages. The graphics are incredible and having more cartoony feel. My son really likes it.

    Both myself and my significant other (we are in our late 20s) enjoy puzzle/strategy games, so I purchased the Boy and his blob for Christmas. Generally, this is a cute game, but there’s no action/adventure, so the game can get a bit repetitive after awhile. For example, you only have like 3 types of jellybeans at any given time, so your blob can only do 1 of 3 things. While there are bad things that can hurt you, or you can hurt yourself (e.g., failure to use blob as balloon when jumping off), these are not nearly to the same level as the aggressive characters in say, Mario Brothers or Zelda.Graphics are beautiful and the game is certainly “kid-friendly.” Just be aware that the game can seem sort of “dull” compared to the action/adventure games, but as long as you recognize that this is a slower-paced game, you’ll enjoy it.

    A boy and his Blob is back, this time on the Wii with a brand new look and game play. Wayforward has taken much care into how the game looks as the stunning art and animation add to the atmosphere. The relationship between th boy and blob is simply cute, but that’s not what makes the wheels turn. For each level you must traverse through a sometimes simple, many times dangerous plethora of obstacles where your multi colored beans comes in play and the blob transforms into various objects like ladders and parachutes to help you. The levels become more treacherous as you progress but they don’t deter even the newest players from trying to complete the stage. The shadow beasts are frightening but the boy and his blob find ways to combat them in a creative ways as you toss your jelly beans.The classic remade really showcases a past for which both generations of gamers can enjoy.

    I just finished a boy and his blob. I beat all 40 levels and I had an enjoyable experience. The beginning levels are very easy, but the puzzles get a bit more challenging as the game progresses. They are never so difficult that you can’t eventually figure them out. Finding the three hidden treasure chests was sometimes the most difficult part. I often had to return to a level I thought was completed to get the treasure chests. I am a completionist, which means I have to find everything in a game, plus bonus levels, hidden worlds etc. The graphics were absolutely beautiful most of the time. The music was great. Sound effects were o.k. (But the laugh of the blob king was horrible and sounded like a tape recorder turning off and on.) The gameplay was fun and creative.Make no mistake this is a puzzle game don’t expect action. I would usually play this at intervals when I only had a few minutes and didn’t want to get into a really long game. I passed a level here and there until one day they were all done and I realized, I had a pretty great time playing this game. If you can find this game for $15 dollars or less don’t pass it up. Perfect for casual game playing.

    Although it isn’t as engaging as one might hope for a game that is as good to look at as this one is, I remember the days when creators (and myself) wished games could better represent moving cartoons. This game is a wish like that realized. It is HARD and I haven’t brain-muscled my way through it entirely, although I’ll pick it up again here and there.
