Released in 1990 for the NES, Fushigi na Blobby – Blobania no Kiki is the Japanese version of the classic puzzle-platformer A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia. The game follows a young boy who teams up with an alien blob to save the planet Blobolonia from an evil emperor. Instead of direct combat, players must navigate intricate caverns and hazards by feeding the blob different flavored jellybeans, causing it to transform into essential tools like ladders and trampolines.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore the world and solve environmental puzzles using the blob’s transformations. Use the Arrow keys to move and climb. Press Shift to cycle through your inventory of jellybeans, and press Z to toss the selected flavor for the blob to eat. Press X to whistle, calling the blob back to your side, and press Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Learn the flavors: Each jellybean triggers a specific transformation. For example, Licorice turns the blob into a ladder, Tangerine makes a trampoline, and Vanilla creates an umbrella.
- Use the whistle: If you accidentally leave your blob behind or need to quickly cancel a transformation to move on, whistling will instantly summon him back to you.
- Conserve special beans: You have a limited supply of certain jellybeans, like the Apple (Jack) and Root Beer (Rocket) flavors. Use them only when absolutely necessary to progress.
