Benny The Blob

[b]5/10[/b] Sliding puzzle game for speedrunners. [b]What is it:[/b] A sliding game, you play as the titular Benny, a green blob, sliding in one of the four directions until an obstacle stops him.

However, it's worth noting that the game is actively being updated, which bodes well for future enhancements. For those seeking a puzzle game that challenges the brain and is easy to dive into, Benny the Blob is definitely worth a try.

Best game i ever played it was fun Too you should play it it so so fun

Decent, fun little indie game but unpolished and short for the price tag.

Titular Benny will go down as one of the most iconic video game protagonists of May 2024.
