Enjoy a colorful, imaginative, free game
The Blob (De Blob in Dutch) is probably one of the most original games you've ever seen. It's even more amazing when you learn the story behind it: apparently, The Blob was developed as a course project by a group of nine students at the Utrecht School of Arts, in just four months.
Their main goal was to depict the physics of movement in a realistic way and believe me, they must have got an A for this.
The game itself is simple: you control Blob, a round shaped alien who crashed with his space ship on Earth and is being chased by the police.
Blob's mission consists on painting certain buildings with a given color, which you get from other characters spread all over the map.
Controls are a bit chaotic at the beginning.
You move Blob just with the mouse, but it takes a while until you get used to speed and movement. Also, once you're done coloring the buildings, that's pretty much all about it, although there's a secondary goal to keep you amused: collect the 50 coins that have been hidden all around the city.

fun but frustrating as well.
My son loves this game! it's challenging but no overly so, and it is creative as well. However the controls are a bit difficult at times, there is no "save" option so you can continue games, and the menus lack mouse pointers so it's hard to know what you're choosing at times. Still, my son is looking forward to blob 2 for his ds! More
