A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is a fantastic little puzzle game designed by David Crane and developed by Imagineering for Absolute Entertainment. You play as a young boy accompanied by his alien friend Blobert. Blobert has the ability to change into different things based on the flavour of jelly beans he eats. It’s a bit janky, but still a unique concept that’s reasonably well executed.

I spent way too much time in this game with little clue as to what I was doing. Turns out you can beat it in under 10 minutes.

The Rescue of Princess Blobette is the second game in the Boy and His Blob series, and the final one developed by Absolute Entertainment. The series would be reimagined many years later on the Wii by WayForward Technologies.
