BY AMIT BARAN ROY | de blob was a 2008 Wii Platformer Puzzle game developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment. The game was all about a blob, who was responsible for exploring the monochromatic Chroma city, reanimating and restoring color to the grey city that was captured by the evil INKT Corporation who took away all color and fun from the daily life of people of the city.

THQ Nordic have recently announced that they are bringing back the Colorful Wii Platformer to the PCs next month, apparently on April 27th. Though the exact date is still not confirmed on the Steam Page. Players can now race their way to rescue the black and white city by splattering paints all over the INKT property bringing back life into the citizens of Chroma city. The game’s description reads, ‘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.’

Apart from the Single Player campaign, de Blob will consist of 8 multiplayer modes for up to 4 players. The multiplayer mode is a local splitscreen version where the ‘Paint Match’ type requires you to paint as many buildings as possible and also steal points from opponents by repainting the buildings that they have covered. ‘Blob on the Run’ type is a kind of Capture the Flag where only one blob can paint and is pursued by opponents who attempt to slam him into submission. ‘Blob Race’ is a time limited race to paint the maximum number of buildings while stopping your opponents from doing the same.

de Blob PC version will most likely be a direct port of the Wii version, though the screenshots looks more sharper and of higher resolution. More details will be revealed in PAX East in Boston next weekend. Check out the system requirements below.
