A Boy and His Blob: The Rescue of Princess Blobette is a puzzle game released in 1990 for the Game Boy. Players control a young boy who teams up with a shape-shifting blob to save Princess Blobette from captivity. The gameplay revolves around using the blob's unique ability to transform into various objects by feeding it different flavored jellybeans.
The main objective is to navigate through obstacle-filled levels and solve puzzles by strategically choosing the right blob transformations to progress. The pace is methodical, encouraging thoughtful problem-solving rather than fast reflexes. Each jellybean flavor triggers a specific transformation, such as turning the blob into a ladder or a trampoline, which helps overcome barriers and reach new areas.
One distinctive feature of this game is the reliance on cooperative interaction between the boy and his blob companion, emphasizing creative puzzle-solving. The unusual mechanic of feeding the blob jellybeans to change its form adds a layer of strategy that sets it apart from typical puzzle titles of its time.
