Battle against massive tank battalions, speedy I.N.K.T. racers and elite Inky soldiers on your quest to free the citizens of Chroma City. Avoid hot plates, electric shocks and inky turrets to create your own path to the impenetrable I.N.K.T. Fortress. Just remember that the struggle to reclaim Chroma City is to be fought on your terms. Remix the city in your own image using custom paints, patterns and soundtracks. Super-size your blob to attack larger and stronger enemies. Join the Color Revolutionaries to refine your skills while making a mess. The race to rescue Chroma City has just begun, and only de Blob can save the world from a black-and-white future.
de Blob is a 3D platformer where players maneuver their hero, de Blob. Equal parts amorphous blob of paint, struggling artist, revolutionary and juvenile delinquent, de Blob's goal is to replace the drab, lifeless gray coloring that the I.N.K.T. Corporation has imposed on Chroma City and its inhabitants, the Raydians, with a range of vibrant life-giving colors, all the while avoiding and battling the gray-clad forces of the Inkies.
Players must acquire paint and hurl de Blob at the buildings, walls, statues, roads and skies above Chroma City. As de Blob bounces around, adding color wherever he lands, his supply of paint is depleted and he begins to dry out. As this happens players must collect more paint and rehydrate in pools and in front of hydrants scattered across the city. As the game starts access is limited to the colors red, blue and yellow, but these can be blended to create a number of other colors. Being able to create and apply these colors becomes important as Chroma City and its inhabitants come to life, and de Blob makes contact with a range of other characters known as the 'Color Revolutionaries' and receives an increasing amount of missions that charge him with splattering color all over town. Success at these mission gains the player point which drives the game forward, eventually leading to a direct assault on Comrade Black's I.N.K.T. fortress guarded by elite Inky soldiers and massive ink turrets.
de Blob features both a deep story-driven singleplayer mode where players get to dig into the Raydian's struggle against all-powerful I.N.K.T. Corporation, as well as a diverse range of multiplayer options. These multiplayer campaigns support up to four players, come with street and sewer maps and include four player split-screen functionality.

Imperfect but underrated I have a history with De Blob - I played De Blob 2 on PS3 as a kid, and realising it and its predecessor were on Steam I got them both and played through them. They make for a sadly forgotten and underrated duology in the 3D platformer genre. Focussing on De Blob 1, its main selling point is really the soundtrack, and the sense of progression you get as you restore lifeless greyscale cityscapes to bursting with life, colour and music. Looking back on what you achieved at the end of each level is really gratifying. The side characters are lovable and I love their gibberish voice acting, and the funny cutscenes between each level are a real treat to watch. As you paint, the soundtrack also adapts to your actions, becoming more complex and triumphant over time. Each colour you paint with also chimes in with its own instrument! Revisiting De Blob as an adult in the middle of the tumultuous times of the mid-2020s is also rewarding, as the punk themes of the people rising up against an oppressive corporate government went straight over my head as a kid and I really appreciate a children's video game being willing to tell that kind of story.

Controls are too awkward for me and can't be changed. It sucks cause I loved playing it on the Wii. I Found out too late that Steam support ignores requests for refunds if you have a VPN -_- it was only $5 and some change, but still irritating
BANGER ass wii game and the port is...good?!
Super easy to trigger points of no return with no warnings that will screw up your run and cause you to waste over an hour of your time.
de Blob is a colorful and imaginative platforming adventure developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment, with the PC version handled by BlitWorks and published by THQ Nordic. Originally introduced on the Nintendo Wii before arriving on modern platforms, the game continues to stand out thanks to its distinctive concept and joyful execution. Rather than emphasizing combat or survival, it revolves around restoring life to a city that has been drained of its color by an authoritarian force. The result is an experience that celebrates creativity, exploration, and optimism while delivering an entertaining blend of platforming and environmental puzzles that remains refreshing even years after its original debut. The story follows Blob, an unlikely hero made entirely of living paint, as he battles the oppressive I.N.K.T. Corporation and its leader, Comrade Black. Chroma City has been reduced to a lifeless grayscale metropolis where individuality and expression have been erased. Blob's mission is to reverse that destruction by bringing vibrant colors back to buildings, streets, landmarks, and the city's citizens. Although the narrative is straightforward, it succeeds because it reinforces the g…
Better on the Wii for controls but still an amazing game. DO NOT TOUCH THE MOUSE while playing.
