unlabelledView post →The Game Boy Advance reboot of A Boy and His Blob was never released, but this amazingly stupid box art was! 🤣
unlabelledView post →35 years ago, Ultraman was on Mean Machines. Not the best game, but it was a cool cover for sure! Top reviews: Mega Drive Wrestle War 88% and Block Out 91%, NES Solstice 85% and A Boy and His Blob 91%, SNES F-Zero 90%, and Game Boy Boulder Dash 90%. A very good month for games!
unlabelledView post →Did you know there are two versions of Casper for the SNES? There's the English version, which is a BAD A Boy and His Blob clone, while the Japanese version is a much more interesting isometric puzzle-adventure game.

unlabelledView post →HOLD ON JUST A DAMN MINUTE so Kemco stole this game and reskinned it as Mickey Mouse IV/The Real Ghostbusters/Garfield Labyrinth on the Game Boy, i knew that, but whoever drew the box art for the Japanese releases of A Boy and His Blob ALSO clearly ripped off its box art?? why this of all games???
unlabelledView post →A Boy and His Blob ($3.99) - a re-imagining of the original game that is much, much, MUCH easier to make sense of, just pick up and play, and charming as hell all the way through. WayForward does a great job in making something grand for kids and their parents. store.steampowered.com/app/281200/A...
unlabelledView post →So I swiped A Boy and His Blob on the Nintendo eShop while it was still on sale. Still a solid and effortlessly charming puzzle game, though I noticed a few render/lighting issues in this port. Also crashed on me twice in the same level. I did get this amusing glitch during the second boss at least
unlabelledView post →it's also worth noting that the game has a "Poor" rating on GameFAQs and was made by shovelware developer Skyworks Technologies, who were also responsible for the cancelled DS A Boy and His Blob game from Majesco, which is a whole other amalgamation of nightmares

unlabelledView post →I decided to travel back in time with @polykillpodcast.bsky.social to 1989 for time travel month and #justbeatit Little Nemo(1990). Oops. It was a happy accident. Along with A Boy and His Blob this game has lived rent-free in my head since I was a small child. I’m so pleased to finally see its end.
unlabelledView post →When @pixelturkey.com was playing A Boy and His Blob for the NES I had the thought of what would happen if you had BeanBoozled jellybeans. In the Game Boy game, The Rescue of Princess Blobette, the blob can knock you off cliffs. Very rude. #MARU #DANKART
unlabelledView post →Random Game of the Day Day 79 - A Boy and His Blob A fun platform/puzzle game with probably one of the most unique mechanics. A blob that can transform into certain items based on what jellybeans you feed it. Absolutely adore this game, even though it can be frustrating and confusing at times
unlabelledView post →JALECOlle Famicom Ver. game #10: Fushigi na Blobby: Blobonia no Kiki! that is, Jaleco's Famicom loc of A Boy and His Blob, which has a different player-character sprite and some other, mostly superficial changes (icymi, these releases offer EN subs for FC games & JP subs for NES games)
unlabelledView post →So I just realized I've owned a copy of A Boy and His Blob for NES for almost 10 years and I've never progressed at all. WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME?! HOW DO I PROGRESS? WHY DON'T THE KETCHUP JELLY BEANS CHANGE THE BLOB'S FORM LIKE ALL THE OTHERS DO? HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO ENTER THE CAVE? IT TOOK ME 2 YEARS TO REALIZE I COULD USE THE JELLY BEANS THAT TURN BLOB INTO A HOLE IN THE FLOOR TO GET INTO THE CAVE! WHY??? #ABoyAndHisBlob #NES #RetroGaming #80s #Nintendo #Gaming
unlabelledView post →I've been playing A Boy and His Blob on NES. This game was designed by video game legends David Crane and Garry Kitchen. It's an incredible game. Here's my version of the boy. #gameart #videogame #nes #aboyandhisblob #pixelart
unlabelledView post →I played through The Violinist of Hameln twice, both because I enjoyed it tremendously and because I wanted to see if a 1CC would change anything (it does not). Really charming game that reminded me a lot of WayForward’s remake of A Boy and His Blob. Highly recommended.

unlabelledView post →We all remember the NES classic A Boy and His Blob. Not everyone remembers there was a reboot in the mid 2000s on 360 and Wii. It was a fun game. Not open ended. Level based. But it also had a dedicated Hug Blob button. More games need a Hug Blob button.
unlabelledView post →Random Game of the Day Day 91 - A Boy and His Blob One of the most surprising releases we got on the Wii was a full on reboot of a cult classic NES game. I immediately fell in love with the hand drawn art work and got the game almost as soon as it released. I really want a sequel to this game

unlabelledView post →Oh shit, A Boy and His Blob just awoken young me. What an awesome concept and fun game. Thanks for the memory!
unlabelledView post →25. A Boy and His Blob This puzzle adventure game had a really neat hook and was ahead of its time in some ways. Its execution was pretty frustrating, though, given that you didn't have direct control of the blob and sometimes needed to line it up pixel-perfect to complete a puzzle. Still neat tho.
unlabelledView post →(6/) #7: Haunted Castle HD Remake Like WayForward’s stab at A Boy and His Blob and M2’s earlier take on Castlevania The Adventure, a somewhat terrible game has been remade into something that’s incredibly fun to play. I’ll take something like this over a remake of a good game any day of the week.
unlabelledView post →A Boy and His Blob on various Nintendo consoles What started as an obscure open world adventure turned into an outright puzzle game. Regardless of the version, A Bit and His Blob has always focused around platforming and how to get from point A to point B. It's not the destination, it's the journey

Fast gameplay really takes the jellybean.., I mean cake for the most interesting official codes.

unlabelledView post →I finally put the two classic A Boy And His Blob games to bed after 33 years. As a kid I could beat the NES game but this is the first time I did perfect treasure runs on both games. And yes, I save scummed. These games demand pixel perfect precision that they just can’t handle. Lots of retries!

unlabelledView post →Listen... I'm gonna blow your mind. In my mind, A Boy and His Blob is like a slow, clunky Zelda game. Think about it this way, all the items and abilities you have to collect are just like the beans, but way easier to remember. The puzzles are more fun. Ever realize that? 😂

unlabelledView post →I remember buying both of these used from Kmart. Never saw the used section prior or after. Zelda II was different from the previous game but A Boy And His Blob was beyond DIFFERENT. I am a fan of learning with challenge but not learning through trial and error. #Nintendo #nostalgia
