Raining Blobs

In conclusion, Raining Blobs is a pretty frantic and fun puzzler. Offering a similar satisfactory feel to games like Puzzle Fighter and Puyo Puyo, the core gameplay loop here is good, and the single player scorechaser modes are enjoyable enough to be worth replaying for new scores. However, the competitive aspects of this game don’t flow nearly as well as they should, and I found the puzzle mode to drag on far too long for a game like this. It’s a shame too, since if this had a bit more tweaking to be a more exciting multiplayer game, this could stand as a very addictive puzzler just like what inspired it, but as it stands now, only the single player aspects succeed in that regard.

    • “The various modes cover all the standard game types (arcade, endless...) and the puzzle mode flows really well, making smart use of the game's mechanics.”

    • “However, there is no joy from the visuals and gameplay.”
    • “My only real complaint is that there isn't much in the visuals department.”

  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's "story mode," referred to as Tournament, is criticized for being underdeveloped and lacking depth, with minimal dialogue and character differentiation. While it features basic narrative elements and unlocks rewards upon completion, the overall presentation fails to engage players or showcase character personalities effectively.

    • “The mode I haven't yet addressed, tournament mode, would more accurately be called story mode, based on the opening and ending scenes, and how you progress against all the other characters.”
    • “However, though it puts up the general presentation of a story, all that really carries it is some trash talk.”
    • “It's not like it's difficult programming-wise to flesh out the personalities of the characters you make, or add more exposition so we have any idea what's going on in the story.”
