I have to say this game looks amazing. I really like the art style. There’s a lot of variety between the levels. The night scene is really cool with the fireflies flying around. I never played the original game and I’m not sure if the gameplay interests me though.
While I love the art style of this game, it looks very straightforward and, dare I say, boring. I loved the original Boy and His Blob for the open exploration and difficulty inherent – not to mention having way more than four jellybeans.
Here’s hoping those were the intro/tutorial levels. I wouldn’t mind a more segmented game, as long as it offered some challenge. This just looks like a cakewalk.
He doesn’t seem to call the blob the same way twice throughout the entire video. That’s pretty good. We won’t here the same 2 second sound bite over and over again.

It looks amazing. I like the way the kid calls out to his blob. It could get really annoying, but at the moment, it’s really charming.

the layout is reminding me of Braid.

I can definitely see the shouts of “BLOB!” getting annoying quick. Perhaps best left with just the whistling but other than that it looks fantastic.
