A Boy and His Blob is a Platforming game available on the Wii.

A Boy and His Blob is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Frugal Gamer review Wed, 14 Oct 2009

A Boy and his Blob may sound like a rather unusual name for a game, but it represents an NES classic that rewrote the platform game handbook. A Boy and his Blob returns here on the Nintendo Wii console with a whole new bag of tricks, quite literally. The player has a bag of Jelly beans which they feed to the amorphous Blob-friend and watch him transform into useful objects to solve puzzles and escape danger. Action, puzzles and cartoon graphics combine to offer another unique experience on the Nintendo Wii.

A Boy and his Blob on the Wii creates the same mix of platforming and puzzles as it did back in the 80's on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). But rather than the intricate mind bending of other adventure titles, here the emphasis is on sheer variety. Hundreds of different flavoured jelly beans can be fed to the Blob and turn him into a range of different objects - from trampolines to ladders to holes in the fabric of reality - really! It is this wide variety of options that lets players use their imagination to solve the platforming conundrums and progress.
