What players say
This is truly one of the best games I had a chance to play - once I had played it as a child and now I replayed it once again as an adult - and I enjoyed it even more! Music makes you truly focused on the story, mechanics of the game are making it truly enjoyable. The design is very specific, along the music it creates a world I will always love! My favourite song is "Music to Eat Cows by".

I breezed through this silly platformer in a couple of days and had a great time doing so. The gameplay is not hugely challenging but it is a lot of fun, and there's lots of humour along the way. If you can get this on sale then it's an absolute steal.
Really captures that retro feel. A reflection on our recent past, very different than now, culture changes so quickly. Many aspects of a culture are deeply personal and subconscious, similar to what art does to your brain without you thinking about it. This little nugget lives up to the hype. Art design is top notch, levels are quick and satisfying, a blobby good time.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
About the game
A sci-fi puzzle-platformer of cataclysmic proportions! Evolve from a tiny captive into a world-eating giant. Use your mutant blob powers to devour the pathetic humans and all of civilization!
