About A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection
TROUBLE ON BLOBOLONIA™
Team up with an extraterrestrial lifeform named Blobert (affectionately known as Blob) to save Blob’s home planet! The evil emperor of Blobolonia™ is threatening to rule the planet with his army of minions. Thwart his plans for total conquest while forging an unbreakable bond by using the power of jelly beans!
Find hidden treasures across Blobolonia™ by discovering new secrets and gathering enough resources to buy new jellies. These tasty treats will give Blob the power to undergo miraculous transformations and help you save the world together. Sounds like a daunting task, right? Not with Blob by your side!
Try different jellybean flavors to see what effect they have on Blob. Overcome obstacles by transforming Blob into the right tool for the job! This shape-shifting ability becomes their ultimate weapon, enabling them to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges. With enough jellybeans and flavors, the possibilities are endless!
THE RESCUE OF PRINCESS BLOBETTE
Join the boy and his extraordinary companion, Blob, as they embark on a quest to save the beloved Princess Blobette from the clutches of the wicked Antagonistic Alchemist, who harbors grand ambitions of becoming Emperor of Blob’s home planet, Blobolonia™. But our heroes won't let that happen.
Imprisoned within the tower of the Royal Castle, the fate of Princess Blobette hangs in the balance, and it's up to you to ensure her freedom. But the Alchemist has laid a suite of treacherous traps to impede the boy and Blob’s progress. Join our dynamic duo as they encounter secret rooms, clever traps, and dangerous obstacles in the labyrinthine depths of the castle.
Fortunately, the Alchemist remains oblivious to our heroes’ hidden advantage—feeding Blob different flavors of jelly beans can transform him into various shapes. Armed with this knowledge, unlocking the tower's door becomes a mere trifle for our heroes, provided the right jelly bean is at hand. Blob’s ability to magically transform shapes will help this intrepid pair get past almost anything the Alchemist can conjure up!
FEATURES OF THIS RETRO COLLECTION: Includes US and Japanese versions of both games. Music Player. Enjoy the original soundtrack of both games. Use save states in the game for the first time! No need to start over from the beginning each time. Our new launcher gives players different aesthetic options and filters to enjoy the game!

I have mixed feelings about this, as I love the games themselves, but I can't in good conscience give this collection a positive review. First up, the positives: Both the Japanese and US versions of both games, meaning you can play as both designs of the boy, there's a sound test, save states and the usual retro games collection options of toggleable CRT filters, borders and resizeable gameplay window. Additionally, there is one more positive: Steam achievements. This, however, is where it ends. Firstly, this is just an emulator, which would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that the vast majority of assets other than the emulators themselves is unencrypted. This allows for some further investigation where we can see some particularly lazy parts of this collection. For example, there are a number of, albeit empty files referencing LRG's previous Steam game, the Jurassic Park collection, as well as referencing emulation support for GBA, GBC and SNES ROMs. Additionally, the files contain borders for gameplay sizes which the collection doesn't actually support. This gets us to our next topic, settings. Despite what I mentioned earlier, this game has next to no settings. Borders, …58 found this helpful
