New Gamer Nation:
WayForward first released A Boy and his Blob on the Wii way back in 2009 and despite it taking 7 years for the game to hit PC and other consoles this reimagining of the NES classic is a great puzzle platformer that tells a simple yet heart-warming tale that is well worth diving into either for its friendly charm or even just for that feeling of nostalgia.
A Boy and his Blob is a 2D puzzle platformer that tells a minimalistic tale about a blob from Blobonia that flees to earth in order to seek a hero worthy enough to help save his world from an evil emperor. Teaming up with a boy from earth, the two will work together to save Blobonia once and for all. Spanning across four different worlds, Boy and his Blob will form a strong friendship and make their way through diverse locations during their quest.
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "I really enjoyed my time with A Boy and His Blob. I definitely understand now why this adorable little game won the hearts of so many. It might not being the most challenging game on the market, but it’s still a lot of fun. The levels are all very brief, which makes it an ideal game for the Switch. It’s the perfect game to pick up and play on-the-go."
"Today, publisher of retro-and-modern games Ziggurat Interactive announced that the unique and cherished classic puzzle platformer “A Boy and His Blob“, is coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop today." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
