The Story
When the distant world of Blobolonia is threatened by an evil
and frightening emperor, one of its denizens, a being known as a
blob, makes the world-changing decision to stand up for what is
right. This brings about his journey to Earth in search of help
for his world. Here he discovers two unexpected things, the
friendship and loyalty of a young boy and an overwhelming love
for jellybeans of various flavors. Both will prove important
before this adventure is through. Help the blob dethrone the evil
emperor that's terrorizing Blobolonia and establish a friendship
with the blob that will last a lifetime.

. A Boy and his Blob is a side-scrolling platformer that teams
the player up with the game's namesake amorphous blob as you
navigate 80 game levels that make up the dangerous terrain of
Blobolonia and take on the baddies and bosses that are
terrorizing it. Your main weapon in this is the power of the Blob
to transform himself into a variety of useful forms. There are 15
of these, and all are initiated by specifically flavored
jellybeans. Just a few of the flavor/forms that can be expected
are Caramel Cannon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, Licorice Ladder, Apple
Jack and Tangerine Trampoline. During gameplay the Blob's
transformative powers are balanced by the relative weakness and
limited movement of the boy, but it's through his hands, and the
jellybeans he tosses, that the powers of the Blob reach their
height.
Key Game Features

hand-drawn and animated presentation designed exclusively for

beans such as the all-new Caramel Cannon and Bubble Gum Bouncer
and classic beans like the Licorice Ladder, Apple Jack and

Citadel in four breathtaking worlds featuring 40 levels filled
