The graphics in the game are a mix of retro pixel art that some players find charming and colorful, while others criticize it as outdated and simplistic, lacking substantial quality improvements despite resolution options. The visuals are described as cute and fitting for the game's style, but overall, they are considered mediocre and limited in scope.
- “The graphics are very nice, colorful, and cute.”
- “Detailed pixel graphic.”
- “Blubblub: Quest of the Blob has a very cutesy art style, but that doesn't mean this game is easy.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”

The story of "Blubblub: Quest of the Blob" features a cutesy and cheesy narrative complemented by childish dialogue, which may appeal to some players despite its simplicity. While the game is primarily focused on its challenging platforming mechanics, the overall style and coherence of the story contribute to its charm as an indie title.
- “Blubblub: Quest of the Blob is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.”
- “Though the appeal of the cutesy look, cheesy story, and childish dialogue are a matter of personal preference, its overall style is coherent and well put together.”
- “Blubblub: Quest of the Blob is a humble little platformer with a few rough edges.”

The gameplay offers a surprising amount of variation across its six levels and boss fights, though it can be brutally challenging due to poor tutorialization and homing projectiles. Players must master jump mechanics to progress, but the fast respawn system and well-placed checkpoints help maintain motivation despite the initial difficulty. Overall, the game balances its cute appearance with a tough platforming experience that rewards persistence.
- “If the game charged money, I probably wouldn't have rated it. The art is great, and it has a surprising amount of gameplay variation with no specific platforming being reused. There are some problems; however, despite the cute appearance, the game can be brutally difficult. This isn't bad in itself, but due to poor tutorializing and homing bullets, you just have to hope you can cheekily knock into a platform before they catch up with you. Since the death respawn is very fast, this isn't too big a deal.”
- “This game will punish you over and over until you learn the jump mechanics, which you will need to master to avoid the homing needles.”
- “Luckily, the well-placed checkpoints make it easy to stay motivated, learn the mechanics, and overcome difficult sections.”

- “This game will punish you over and over until you learn the jump mechanics, which you will need to learn to avoid the homing needles.”
- “With the innocent look in mind, the platforming gameplay is surprisingly hard to get into initially.”

- “Standard music fits the graphics and style of the game, but probably won't get stuck in your head.”
- “The music fits the graphics and style of the game, but it's not memorable enough to get stuck in your head.”
- “While the soundtrack complements the gameplay, it lacks the catchiness that would make it truly stand out.”
- “The background music is standard and serves its purpose, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression.”
