Blob From Space

About

With this game we try to challenge the player to finish the entire game with only 3 continues. There are no save points so you have to make the entire run in one go. If you have friends (Or the internet) you can share cheat codes to skip some levels, but don't forget you will not get the maximum amount of points and maybe not able to unlock certain achievements using cheat codes. The choice is you…

The gameplay has been widely criticized for its lackluster level design, poor mechanics, and frustrating controls, leading to a repetitive and unenjoyable experience. Despite a unique transformation mechanic, it fails to elevate the overall blandness, with many players expressing their dissatisfaction and recommending against purchasing the game.

- “The gameplay is okay, as far as platformers go, but unappealing graphics and repetitive music make it really hard to want to play it for a long period of time.”
- “This is a game made for the nicest of the nicest people in our society; this game will make them swear at the screen and maybe even punch a hole through their screen after 15 minutes of playing. The game was designed to make you angrier than a bull with red contact lenses.”
- “The settings also don't work; basically, the only two features that work are 'play game' and 'quit.' Everything else just sort of does nothing, which is just the icing on the cake of this game's horrible design. Speaking of horrible design, I'll end off on the horrible transformation mechanic.”
- “Sloppy controls, missing basic features, poorly thought out mechanics.”
- “The graphics are awful, the gameplay mechanics are unenjoyable, and the fact that you can die three times and then get a game over is unbelievable.”
