DeBlob is back in action, this time for Steam. After years of not playing this game, it is now good to get to back into it. When I first played this game I was into it but not as much as I could have been. It really comes down personally to me enjoying using the PS4 controller over the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. While of course intuitively the Wii remote and nunchuck did work, a classic controller scheme does work better.
DeBlob is an active painting game where you play as the titular character DeBlob. This master of paint is literally a blob of living paint must save the world. The world has gone black and white thanks to the Inky forces of evil, and it is up to DeBlob and a plucky team called the resistance to save the day and return everything to color.
This game is actually a really well designed one, where you paint buildings in different colors by absorbing paint bots. With so many colors to choose from, you can really make the world your own. Of course you don’t always get to choose what color you paint things, but for the most part the world is your canvas. There are challenges to be had too, as you race to beat them using certain colors. Of course the deeper into the game you get, the harder the challenges. Maybe you need to paint half the building red, the middle blue, and the top Purple, and it really adds another layer to the game for those that want to take on the challenges.
The game progresses pretty nicely as you travel around different areas, dodging water, smash the Inky baddies, and painting the town. Every level is decently sized and full of things to do. It is also easy to double back and complete something if you missed it or didn’t feel like doing it at the time.
The music is also great as, the more you play the more songs you get. You could play one level in a Samba style, or Funk. It adds just another layer, no matte rhow small that changes how you feel. With the music changing you can’t really hate on it, you choose the music and you figure out what music works best for the situation. You can even set the music to random and you might be surprised at what the game chooses. It really is surprising that music can change a game so drastically but I think it is part of this game’s charm.
All in all DeBlob is a game worth playing. No matter what system you may play it on, if painting a city to restore it to its former glory sounds fun you may really like this game. So, join the resistance and make things fun again!
You can get DeBlob now, on Steam. Go, paint the city, and make things pretty!
