Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack

The developers were kind enough to provide me with a free Steam key on first release so I feel it only decent to report back that Mutant Blob is highly enjoyable and very well polished. I had absolutely no resolution or game pad issues with this title and I would liken it to a side-scrolling Katamari Damacy (sans the awesome J-Pop soundtrack of course) delivered through charmingly cute and funny characters. The blob you play as is definitely not evil and entitled to the revenge he exacts through the duration of the game. The artist's 'Ren & Stimpy Like' 50's retro art is also very well done.

i always wanted to be a blob that eats anything. now i finally can live that dream.

DrinkBox Studios managed to create something really creative and fun.

It's a combination of Elasto Mania and Katamari Damacy. I liked the game, especially in the beginning but then it got to insta-death grinding. It is not the most difficult game and my thumb injury prevents me from using a gamepad, but the levels are wee bit too long and the "puzzles" focus too much on navigating instadeath laser mazes. If you can get it for cheap – and euro or two – worth a try!

The game looks great and sounds great, but for a platformer it has terrible controls. The use of a 3 key mouse is expected and the integration of the mouse is done in a way that makes the game play too difficult to be fun.
