de Blob (Video Game) | comment |
de Blob is a Platform/Puzzle Game developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and published by THQ for the Wii in 2008. It originally started out as a project by a couple of students in Utrecht, The Netherlands, which explains the name of the game and the main antagonist corporation.The premise of the game is that you start out as a clear ball of water, which has to seek out enemies called Paintbots to change colors between red, blue, or yellow, which can also be combined to make new colors. Afterwards, all you have to do is merely touch the item you want to paint for the entire surface to be your current color. As you destroy more Paintbots, you continue to grow in size to a max of 100 "paint points" which are used to paint buildings or destroy enemies. Also, while you are free to paint, there are several missions you have to do before you can proceed to the next area.Initially a lively and colorful city populated by its equally colorful and diverse citizens, the Raydians, Chroma City is suddenly invaded by the I.N.K.T. Corporation. A corporate military dictatorship, I.N.K.T. is led by the villainous Comrade Black and dedicated to the eradication of color through its "War on Color". Chroma City quickly falls to the invading army of Inkies and color draining Leechbots, leaving its landscape barren, its flora withered and its fauna in hiding. The citizens are rounded up and turned into Graydians by encasing them in homogeneous gray prison suits with their only distinguishing feature a barcode on the back of each shell. When the last remaining pocket of resistance, the Color Underground (The Professor, Arty, Biff and Zip), are cornered by I.N.K.T. forces, de Blob appears, rescuing them and embarking on a Color Revolution.There is an iPhone port available.A sequel, de Blob 2, was released late February 2011. Comrade Black is trying to drain all the color from another city on Planet Raydia known as Prisma City, and Blob, his new robotic sidekick Pinky, and the Color Underground have to stop him again. Unlike last time when I.N.K.T. had completely taken over and the Underground had to take everything back, in this one the heroes are more on the offensive, chasing Black down as he keeps coming up with new schemes, though he has still taken over a lot of Prisma City when Blob gets there.The series' IP was purchased by Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) from THQ on Halloween 2014, over three years after the second game was published. In April 2017, the first game was ported to PC via Steam. The second game followed in June. de Blob was then released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in November 2017, while the Nintendo Switch version was released in June 2018.See also the Nintendo franchise Splatoon for the similar premise and concept of ink-spraying creatures spreading colorful ink. | |

Badass Adorable: The heroes. They're all small, rounded creatures, but can absolutely pack a punch if need be. The Color Underground run a successful and highly disruptive resistance movement in both games, Blob is a powerhouse who can crush enemies in an instant and paint over a whole neighborhood in minutes, and Pinky packs enough of a punch in her arm cannons to blow up an entire space station. | |

de Blob (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: I.N.K.T. Corp. The word "inkt" means "ink" in Dutch. The names of both cities ("Chroma" in the first game, "Prisma" in the second game) qualify as well. "Chroma" means colour in Greek, and the Dutch word "prisma" means "prism", which is a crystal or piece of glass that breaks white light into rainbows. And now in the sequel, we have the Blancs. "Blanc" means "white" in French, though the characters appear to pronounce it as "blank" (which in itself is a Meaningful Name). | |

Alien Sky: The original PC game features a relatively normal-looking sky, with the exception of giant, misty rainbows and a grimacing, grinning sun.

Enemy Mine: An interesting and briefcase in the Inky Fabricator chapter of De Blob 2. An accident has created a monstrous, mutated inky monster that apparently hates both vibrant colors and black and white. Being unable to defeat it, the Inkies suggest a truce of sorts: Blob is let into the fabricator to beat the monster, which also lets the Color Underground transform the fabricator. After accomplishing this goal, the usual animosity has returned, with the Inkies also calling Blob a monster. | |

de Blob (Video Game) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Subverted. As the situation in Chroma City rapidly gets out of hand for the I.N.K.T. Corporation, Comrade Black hastily broadcasts some sort of staged peace agreement with a Graydian representative, hoping to win over the populace. However, the Color Underground intercepts the signal and exposes I.N.K.T. as an oppressive bunch of bullies and Blob as a hero. Cut back to the original feed: Black is struggling to throw furniture around the room in a tantrum while one of his aides is strangling the other. | |

Hostile Terraforming | |
de Blob (Video Game) / int_666648a3 | comment |
Hostile Terraforming: Interestingly, neither the Raydians nor the Inkies seem to be able to tolerate the environment that is suitable to the other; A world full of color and lacking ink is downright chaotic for the Inkies (and deprives them of the ink they need to replicate themselves), while the Inky world of black and white is painfully dull and polluted for the Raydians, even more so if they are forced into the suits that impede their movements and are the only known way that the Inkies can generate new ink. So it follows that in the areas that the Inkies take over, they dramatically alter the environment in addition to altering / bleaching buildings. This is often seen in the first console game in the form of massive spills / slicks of ink on the surface of formerly clean water and stunted vegetation. In the second game these effects are much more pronounced - Prisma City has suffered both heavy water and air pollution even before the formal Inky takeover, some buildings / landforms are submerged underground to impede Blob's progress, and perhaps most dramatically of all, the canyon leading to the Inktron Collider (formerly Prisma City's hydroelectric plant) is near-completely submerged in frozen ink. Of course, as Blob makes progress, he alters the landscape in a fashion that is detrimental to the Inkies. | |

Day of the Jackboot: While in the first game, the invasion by I.N.K.T. took place over a single cutscene, in the sequel we get to see how exactly Prisma City's takeover plays out. Papa Blanc, Comrade Black in disguise, runs for president, brainwashes his followers using ink and hypnodiscs, and rigs the election. After becoming president, he immediately implements martial law, imprisons poll workers and political opponents, deploys the military to the city to stop protesters, and replaces the independent PNN news broadcasts with I.N.K.T. propaganda. Blob and Pinky manage to liberate the Senate while the invasion is still taking place, and the State College before civilian protests and uprisings can be quelled, but after that, I.N.K.T.'s takeover is absolute. | |

Black-and-White Morality: Symbolically played with. Black, white, and grey are all evil, and any colour is good. Though generally true, areas liberated from I.N.K.T. do use shades of white, grey, and black in combination with other colors (which is mostly seen on altered billboards). The protagonists are all about allowing maximum expression using all colors, while the antagonists stress adherence to a few hues and styles, lending to the games' overall theme of diversity versus conformity. | |

For one thing, Blob and the city residents seem to be much "blobbier" in design, and don't have their trademark large ears, tan marking around their mouth, or White Bead Eyes. Blob is also fatter in appearance, has legs, and wears shoes. The I.N.K.T. members also received a massive design change too, as they looked much more human-like in the PC game and more like a Men In Black-esque police force than the militaristic soldiers they were eventually made to be. | |

de Blob (Video Game) / int_ab194660 | comment |
Harmful to Touch: Ink, though not as bad as in the first game. Being in contact with pools of ink drains your paint points, while being covered in ink just prevents you from picking up other colors until you wash it off. Fire replaces ink functionally: Touch a flame without protection and Blob will lose his current color and rapidly lose paint points (which double as his life). As usual, the only way to put out the flames is with water. | |

Mickey Mousing: Most of Blob's actions come with a music cue: Progressing through a level slowly ups the tone of the music, bringing it from a simple backbeat to a full-blown jazz tune. Painting things gives off a short solo by an instrument linked to the colour - most often saxophone red, trombone orange, trumpet yellow, electric piano green, bass blue, guitar purple, and turntable brown. Shaking up a landmark adds maracas. Completing a challenge produces a cool riff. Navigating Z-jumps produces a drum-roll which ends with a struck cymbal. Touching bleached cars or buses causes a variety of horn beeps. | |

First-Person Snapshooter: The DS Version of de Blob 2 features Chroma Cameras that need to be activated by pointing the DSi or 3DS system at various colored objects in the real world. Activating all 15 Chroma Cameras will complete the Chroma Crystal, allowing Blob to change color any time without needing color sources or Paintbots. | |

Variable Mix | |
de Blob (Video Game) / int_b06ff73b | comment |
Variable Mix: The music changes in complexity depending on the color in the level. At the beginning where there is little to no color, the music is very minimalistic and dreary, but as you color the setting the music picks up in instrumentation and complexity, so by the end when color is brought back to the level the music is extremely vibrant and expressive. The music goes back to being minimalistic when Blob either comes in contact with ink or lacks any color, and picks up when Blob absorbs color again. | |
