Item Description

There is a button in A Boy and His Blob that does nothing but hug your friend. It does not open a door or solve a puzzle, it just makes the boy wrap his arms around the blob, and that small touch sums up why WayForward's 2009 reimagining of the NES cult favorite won so many players over.

The premise comes from David Crane's 1989 original. A friendly blob from the planet Blobolonia crash-lands on Earth seeking help against an evil emperor, and finds a young boy instead. The boy carries a bag of jellybeans, and each flavor transforms the blob into something new: a ladder for climbing, a hole for dropping through floors, a trampoline for reaching high ledges, a heavy anvil for smashing through obstacles and more. Every stage becomes a puzzle about which jellybean to use, where and when, and the blob follows along like a loyal pet, ready to change shape whenever the boy calls.

WayForward rebuilt the game in lush, hand-drawn 2D art with smooth, storybook animation that brings real warmth to the friendship at its center. The journey moves from moonlit woods on Earth into stranger territory on Blobolonia, and it tells its story almost entirely through animation and atmosphere rather than dialogue. Hidden treasure chests in the levels unlock tougher challenge stages for players who want their brains stretched further.

It is a thoughtful, gentle puzzle-platformer that earned warm reviews and a reputation as a Wii hidden gem, and a lovely game to play alongside a younger gamer who is just learning the ropes. It also takes one of the NES's oddest ideas and finally gives it the art, controls and heart it always deserved.
