Tales From Space: About A Blob

About

Tales From Space: About A Blob casts you as a gelatinous alien on a mission to conquer planets through puzzles and platforming. Navigate side-scrolling levels filled with traps and obstacles while juggling physics-based challenges. Team up with a friend for split-screen co-op where each player controls a Blob with distinct abilities. The retro monster-movie visuals give everything a pulpy B-movie vibe with neon-drenched environments and squishy animations. The game stands out for its clever use of co-op mechanics where Blobs can combine shapes or work around physics to solve puzzles. Though released in 2011 it maintains a cult following with 78% on Metacritic and 4.1/5 stars on user reviews. While the campaign is short at 5-7 hours the local co-op and lighthearted tone keep it re-playable for casual sessions.
