    The game has a certain charm to it that makes it so enjoyable to play, it expands on what the game was on NES but at the same time it is easier to get into the game for people who never played the original game.

    A Boy and His Blob looks like a gently welcoming adventure, and when it's not precisely and nothing more than that, it's easy to get annoyed. While some people may have no problem reconciling the look with the gameplay, for me, unfortunately, the disconnect is just too much for me to overcome.

    A Boy and His Blob is a beautiful and heart-warming game with a classic 2D platformer feel. The game is not particularly long and most of the puzzles are not particularly challenging but its charm and beauty make it a worthwhile experience. The boss fights are fun and some of the challenge levels will keep you busy for a while.
