When I was a kid, I bought a wooden labyrinth. I ended up not liking it much as I wasn’t great at it and it was always the same. The Blobs, a game I see as similar to labyrinth, is much, much better (not to mention cheaper).
This maze game is much more than an avoid-the-holes game. While there are holes in some levels, there are also moving spikes, shooters, trap doors, fans, and more to avoid, all while trying to obtain the three stars of each level and while trying to keep your blob in one piece. Surprisingly the game does not become overly difficult. Parts of the game (fans for example) are frustrating, but it’s a good kind of challenge. There is a good difficulty progression along with a good balance of obstacles.
In this game there are 120 levels across 6 worlds. Some games may become tiring or boring after a while but this game does not. After finishing a level for the first time I immediately press next level.
Each world is dramatically different. Each level is also usually significantly different than the one before it. This is good. You never know what the next level will be like. The only time that the level design is troublesome is when wooden floors look like they have holes that you can fall through.
Besides this, though, the game is excellent. It’s a very unique and entertaining spin on the old (and more boring) game called Labyrinth.
Update: We have just heard from the creators that a free 12 level trial is due out next week on the App Store.
Quick Take
Value:High.
Would I Buy Again:Definitely.
Learning Curve:Low.
Who Is It For:Anyone who likes casual gaming.
What I Like:It?s very unique and very engaging.
What I Don't Like:Several wooden-themed levels look as if they have additional hole obstacles. Game Center is not present.
Final Statement:I don?t like labyrinth, I imagine goo isn?t too much fun, but together these two things are great.
Help Brother Blob in his search for his lost family by travelling through six different terrains, from the heavily wooded “Secret Forest” to the harsh conditions of “Metal Defence”.
Move Brother Blob by tilting the world around and sliding Brother Blob towards the exits in each level. His fluid like body can squeeze through tight gaps and he can even split into separate pieces.
Blob moves in a very unique way, can you master the skills necessary to guide him in his mission?
Here’s a taste of what’s in store;
? 120 Levels across six different zones
? Unique meta-ball physics used to animate Blob
? Pick up bonus stars in each level
? Avoid spikes, holes, trap doors and firing cannons.
? Resist blowing fans
? Spin around in roundabouts
? Flick switches to open doors
? Unlock exits by solving sequence puzzles

Can you save all the Blobs and bring sanity back to their little world?
? New update coming! ?
We fixed a memory issue that affected the intro video on some devices, this is fixed in the next version.
