Cute game but definitely for kids. Not my kind of game but well made. Be sure to check controller settings and compatibility in Steam settings as it's a bit outdated now.

I first played this back on the Wii and it's the same game. This is an adorable puzzle platformer and isn't too hard or obtuse for the most part, though Challenge Level 4-2 can cause troubles (Hint: the ladder goes down if the platform is above you and the cannon can blow up exploding enemies if they touch it right). It's not the best game ever or overly long at 40 regular levels and 40 challenge levels, but you get to hug the blob. You get to hug the blob. :3 BTW, the devs originally required you to hug the blob periodically to keep the blob's mood up, but that didn't test well, so they just left the hugs in because cuteness.

This is a fantastic remake of the almost-but-not-quite classic for the NES. The original Boy and His Blob was, despite it's cutesy appearance, super punishing, often requiring pixel perfect platforming despite sluggish movement. Sometimes, you could do everything right, only to call your blob over and have him push you into the water or a bed of spikes! Still, the game was unique for the time, and managed to sell enough to get a sequel on game boy. Fast forward 20 or so years later, and we get a remake from WayForward, who were clearly fans of the original. This is the rare kind of remake that actually understood the appeal of the first game, and gave it a new, beautiful coat of paint. Rather than one continuous level, the game is broken up into mini-levels, but across multiple worlds. I have mixed feelings about this change, as well as the inability to use all the collected jellybeans at any time; instead you are limited to only those jellybeans that will be useful in the level. It's obvious that this game was made for kids, and you will notice plenty of hand-holding in the earlier levels. However, the difficulty does start to ramp up toward the end of the first world, so fans of the original probably won't be bored. This version of the game also gets extra points for the charming presentation; it's nothing groundbreaking compared to the NES version, but is just so much more user friendly overall (with the possible exception of the boss rooms). If you have any nostalgia at all for the original game, or just want a breezy platformer to kill some time, I'd definitely recommend checking this out.
