Underwhelming despite solid presentation
It had all the premise to be either a great interactive fiction and/or beautiful puzzle platformer. Sadly both it's mechanics and narrative are heavily underbaked. The latter is pretty much absent, aside from "cute characters overcome some obstacles" -- so initial charm starts to drain rapidly after a few levels. And the design of everything is just all over the place. Any puzzle or movement challenge utilizes the transformations of the titular blob -- but this miriad of mechanics shuffled and rearranged throughout the levels without any sense of progression and learning curve. Clunky UI makes a lot of interactions unpleasant, especially boss fights. Most of the level design feels rather slapdash, with the addition of the occasional pathfinding and collision glitches. Overall it's playable and at least can deliver some fun. But ultimately it's a major overhaul away from a definitively good game.
