![]() ![]() There are over 20 levels in the game and each one has you sliding, slamming, and crashing your way through things, but eventually, you will need to evolve! Evolve Blob, Evolve!Īs you would expect from a puzzle platformer, Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack has some neat abilities and upgrades that you can take advantage of as you play. It becomes so much fun to keep plowing over stuff and adding it to your mass. The more he rolls over and eats, the bigger and stronger he will become. The blog controls very well and is easy to move around. The core gameplay of Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is the kind of thing that is easy to pick up and play, but hard to master. I also love how clear, clean, and bright all of the visuals are and the animations of the blob and the path of destruction that he goes on is truly amazing stuff and is sure to be something you get a massive kick out of. It is like a 1950s sci-fi movie that you are playing through. ![]() Form the zany presentation, the music, the way people talk, and more. I already talked about how Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack has a B-Movie style, but man is it done so well. One day, our blog manages to escape and as you would expect, he is mad as hell and out for revenge! It is fun stuff and I had a huge smile on my face the whole time! Embracing Its B-Movie Roots We play as this alien blog from space that has been held captive by scientists and experimented on. I am sure most people have heard about this game over the years, but for those that have not, I hope to convince you to give this epic game a try, trust me, you will not regret it! The Blob!Ī huge part of the reason Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack appeals to me so much is the B-Movie style of it all. So far I have this on PS3, Nintendo Switch and I recently picked it up on PC as well so I feel like I am more than qualified to talk about this game. Graphics: >= 256 MB, Shader Model 3.I love Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack so much that I have it on three systems! This is just such a fun puzzle platformer and one of the very best of this genre actually.Though he bears similarities to the main character in Tales from Space: About a Blob, the mutant blob is not the same character. The cutscenes are cartoonish and tongue-in-cheek in nature, featuring gibberish voice acting and exaggerated character motions and facial expressions. ![]() The story is told through the perspective of the humans, through faux-television reports and newspaper articles, showing their attempts to neutralize the mutant threat. The protagonist is an irate, genetically created and mutated blob who seeks revenge on the scientists (and the society) who forced him into numerous dangerous experiments. Players can tilt the Vita in order to control the blob in these sections- some levels mimic a wooden labyrinth, while others are deliberately retro. The game features bonus levels, each with a different theme, and each utilizing the Vita's gyroscope. The rear touchpad is used to boost the blob during the zero gravity areas, though this is an optional control use. For example, players can move certain platforms closer to the blob's proximity, or they can spin a non-functioning spiral fan in order to blow food & objects for the blob to absorb, objects that were unreachable beforehand. Certain checkpoints in the game place the blob in zero gravity areas, allowing him to propel himself like a rocket, complete with a turbo booster.Ĭertain areas of the level have gates, platforms and other objects that can be manipulated using the touchscreen capabilities on the Vita. Each checkpoint forces the blob to grow to a specific target height in order to absorb larger items and to get to the next section of gameplay (much like in the Katamari series). The blob can make use of a ground stomp feature and is able to both attract himself to and repel himself off magnetic surfaces, in order to reach new heights and platforms in the level. As in About a Blob, the main conceit is to absorb objects in order to gain power and grow in size as to better traverse the platforming levels. ![]() Absorbing objects is automatic, unlike in About a Blob, and the blob moves at a much higher speed than the blobs did in the original game, which eliminates the use of the turbo/run button. Player controls a mutated Blob who has the standard platformer controls. The game was originally released for the PlayStation Vita with a follow up release on the PC on August 15th 2012. Mutant Blobs Attack is a puzzle platformer that takes place in the universe of DrinkBox Studios' first title of About a Blob, though it is not a direct sequel, but a stand-alone follow-up. ![]()
