For the last few months we’ve been hard at work putting the finishing touches on our upcoming PSN platformer Tales from Space: About a Blob. I’m very excited to announce that the game’s release is now just weeks away! In North America, the game will be released as a PlayStation Plus exclusive on February 1st, with a general release to follow a week later on February 8th.
D+PAD Magazine Writes:
Drinkbox Studios’ Tales from Space: About A Blob got us thinking that there really should be a genre created called ‘Blob ‘em ups’. Through the likes of LocoRoco, A Boy and His Blob, De Blob, Silly Putty, The Maw and many more, the humble, amorphous blobs have achieved a great deal in the world of videogames, never letting a lack of limbs hold them back. The particular blob taking centre stage in About A Blob is a versatile little orange chap who (among other things) can absorb items strewn around 2D platforming worlds and spew them out as lethal weapons. The game as a whole mirrors this ability by absorbing ideas from numerous other games, but does it manage to deliver them out with the same kind of deadly accuracy?
The blob has been a classically misunderstood entity since its introduction in 1950′s low budget cinema. Whether acting as a low level enemy in RPGs or the side kick of a curious young boy, the blob fares just as poorly in gaming. Obviously feeling the plight of the blob a significant cause, the brains behind Drink Box Studios have finally opened up a starring role for the gelatinous journeyman in their latest PSN game Tales from Space: About a Blob.
Hello humanoids. This is Chris Harvey from DrinkBox Studios and I’m happy to be sending you a message from across the Internets. It’s a very proud day for the team here in Toronto, because today marks the general release of our first game, Tales from Space: About a Blob. PSN users in North America can pick up the game today, and European users will see the game released tomorrow.
