This game is truly a hidden gem. I never hear people talking about it online but its a really unique platformer with a lot of style.

De Blob is a silent protagonist with an attitude. He’s simple, yet relatable. In a way he’s a lot like 90’s sonic.

The theme of colour and fun breaking through and defeating the sadness and mundane is cute. The cutscenes between the levels are a good touch to motivate the player to free the residents of a life of depression and bring colour to their lives.

But this game lacks in some important aspects. Movement in the air is clunky and since its a platformer this flaw cannot be overlooked. Some levels drag on. Short, focused leves would work way better Than sandboxes that can take a good while to finish.

This franchise never really took off and thats a shame, with just a little bit of extra love it could have been something great. This game has been rereleased on other consoles but without reworking the flaws it’s an outdated game. Without serious fixes and markett, I cant see it becoming a hit.
