Item Description

Few Wii games began as unlikely a journey as de Blob. The idea started as a student project at the Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands, a small PC game about painting a gray city, before THQ picked it up and Blue Tongue Entertainment rebuilt it from the ground up for Nintendo's console. What emerged in 2008 was one of the freshest platformers of its generation, built on a single joyful idea: paint a city back to life.

Chroma City has fallen to the I.N.K.T. Corporation, whose leader Comrade Black has drained the place of color and turned its residents, the Raydians, into gray, obedient workers. You roll Blob, an amorphous ball of paint and part-time revolutionary, through the streets with the Color Underground resistance cheering you on. Smash into a Paintbot to soak up red, yellow or blue, mix them to create new shades, and splash buildings, trees and citizens as you go. Ink hurts, water rinses you clean, and a flick of the Wii Remote sends Blob bounding up walls and across rooftops.

The masterstroke is the soundtrack. Each color you lay down adds layers to the music, so a quiet district gradually blooms into a full jazzy, funky arrangement as you bring it back to life. It sounds like a gimmick on paper and becomes the reason you keep painting long after a mission's goal is met. Each zone mixes free painting with timed challenges and liberation goals, and split-screen multiplayer modes give a second player a reason to grab a remote.

De Blob was a Wii original, later remastered for modern platforms, and the original release is the version that introduced the world to Blob's colorful revolution. Its cel-shaded contrast between gray streets and the rainbow you leave behind still looks wonderful, and it is the perfect starting point before the sequel, which picks up the fight with Comrade Black.

About the game

de Blob is a 3D platformer where players maneuver their hero, de Blob. Equal parts amorphous blob of paint, struggling artist, revolutionary and juvenile delinquent, de Blob's goal is to replace the drab, lifeless gray coloring that the I.N.K.T. Corporation has imposed on Chroma City and its inhabitants, the Raydians, with a range of vibrant life-giving colors, all the while avoiding and battling the gray-clad forces of the Inkies.
