A Boy and His Blob

i know the mysterious blobby aka a boy and his blob is a classic but this is just a remake well since you know which god forsaken console however this needs to be updated if only if you want multiplayer. however this is just singleplayer sadly. but at least it might resembles older nes/famicom and gameboy ones.

it's a really fun platformer and puzzle game rolled into one- thank god it has infinite lives or this game would be nigh impossible. some of the puzzles are a bit convoluted but they're all doable! good brain teaser with stunning visuals and lovely homey animation!

A great re-imagining of the original game released on the NES.
Charming music and graphics and some neat level design.
Not a very long or difficult game but definitely worth checking out.

For the most part, this is a relaxing puzzle game, however, there are times when I wish at some parts, that there was a better checkpoint system. Most of the time, it's very forgiving, but others place you so far back, that it's a chore to get back to where you last were. Also, If you don't finish and entire level, and decide to quit out, you'd have to start all over from the beginning of said level. Finally, there are some boss fights that don't give you much time to figure out what to do, and I'd have to go to Youtube to see how to defeat them. Probably my poor gaming skills, but I thought I'd forewarn people that might experience the same thing. But the artstyle, the music, and most of the gameplay do make me recommend the game overall. And the price was cheap.

Lots of fun. I remember playing this as a kid on Nintendo. So happy they made a remake. Very chill game. I love it.

I kinda liked it, yes its too simple for a 30 year old gamer but it is one of the games that you can play & chill

DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NOT PLAYED THE ORIGINAL NES VERSION.
A Boy and His Blob is an engaging puzzle-platformer developed by WayForward Technologies™. It is my first time trying a game from this developer, and I loved almost every bit of it. It is by no means a difficult game, but it is not afraid to push you to use your brain, while also rewarding you greatly for doing so. You play as a Boy... and his Blob... Blob can take different shapes based on the jelly beans you are given in each level. The puzzles take full advantage of this system, and upon completing each level, you get a feeling of accomplishment that not a lot of puzzle-platformers can give. You collect treasure chests from each level, and eventually they all combine into viewable concept art, developer footage, and early level design. This is an apt reward given the effort you put in collecting these chests. I was always excited to see what new piece of art or footage I would be awarded upon completing a challenge.
The game does falter with Blob's Artificial Intelligence, or lack thereof... I would not bring it up were it not significant enough to warrant it. Sometimes I would throw a jelly bean and wait longer than is necessary for Blob to come and digest it. Other times, Blob would get stuck to the point of me having to restart the entire level. This does add up and can create a tedious experience if one is not patient enough to deal with it. Assuming this game is targeting a younger demographic, this can be a big issue as children typically don't respond well to this. On this note, I would also add that this is a 13+ game, and not one for anyone younger. The E rating by the ESRB is generous given that some scenes are decently violent. One final gripe revolves around the jarring switch the environmental art takes towards the latter half of the game. Without spoiling much, I was not a big fan of how contrasted The Boy and His Blob looked relative to the environmental art. This is largely an issue with two out of four of the game's worlds, and is a majorly subjective point of contention. This is not to say that the art taken individually was bad; rather, it is to say that the cohesiveness of the art style when it was combined faltered.
Whatever my gripes are, they are no match for my love of the ambitious Boy and his friendly Blob. At its core, I find that it is a game about friendship and tenacity in the face of a great danger. Alone, neither The Boy nor Blob can handle this great danger; only together are they able to overcome it.This is exemplified well when Blob receives its final transformation as a Mech. It can transform into this massive wobbly imitation of a metallic husk, but only with the help of the Boy can it fight with it.
What this game did very well was make me a fan of of both puzzle-platformers and WayForward Technologies™. I am eager to play through their library of games in the near future, and I wholeheartedly recommend this game for anyone considering trying out a puzzle-platforming video game.
