INTRODUCTION
In a galaxy far, far away—well, not that far, but you get the idea—there’s the kingdom of Blobolonia, currently under the iron thumb of a despotic Emperor. An alien blob, seeking help to free his home, crash-lands on Earth and befriends a young boy. Together, they embark on a daring mission to liberate Blobolonia from its oppressive ruler. This captivating story is the backbone of the Wii game “A Boy and His Blob.”
THE MAGICAL JELLYBEANS AND THEIR SHAPE-SHIFTING POWERS
In this charming escapade, developed from David Crane’s Nintendo game, you’ll control an unnamed young boy who teams up with a shape-shifting blob from Blobolonia. The blob’s metamorphic abilities are activated by gobbling down different types of jellybeans. It’s a punny world where a “punch” jellybean turns your blobby pal into a hole in the ground, and an “apple” jellybean transforms him into a jack, lifting you to greater heights. No, you’re not hallucinating—this is just the whimsical universe the game embraces. Have you ever dreamt of hopping on a “tangerine trampoline” or drifting away with a “pear parachute”? The food puns are as abundant in this game as the imaginative possibilities.
TREASURE HUNT AND BONUS UNLOCKS
Now, what’s an adventure without some buried treasure? Each level of the game has three treasure chests for the eagle-eyed explorer. Find all three, and you’ll unlock a bonus level! These aren’t your run-of-the-mill stages; they’re Challenge Levels that test your wits and skills. Want to impress your friends? Unlock exclusive goodies like concept art, movie clips, and new gaming modes by conquering these levels. Your blob will thank you with a jiggly dance. Probably.
EMBRACING THE CHALLENGE: SPECIAL LEVELS
About those Challenge Levels: they’re a different beast altogether. Often centered around exploiting a single jellybean-induced ability, these stages up the ante in complexity and head-scratching situations. It’s like solving a Rubik’s Cube while juggling—only more fun and less frustrating. Whether you’re testing your skill with a “licorice ladder” or something even more outlandish, the Challenge Levels make this game the brain-teaser you didn’t know you needed.
A PEEK INTO EXCLUSIVE GIFTS
Now, you might wonder, what exclusive gifts can you unlock? Apart from the personal satisfaction of demonstrating your gaming prowess, you’ll gain access to concept art that lets you peek behind the scenes. Imagine hanging a framed piece of Blobolonia’s aesthetic on your wall! That’s right, make all your visitors jealous! There are also movie clips that give you an insight into the game’s development and extra modes that will keep you glued to your console longer than you’d like to admit.
