de Blob, known as Blob: Colorful na Kibou in Japan, is a 2008 platform-puzzle video game
that allows players to explore and liberate an alien city from the
evil, monochromatic INKT Corporation that has taken over the city and
outlawed all color and fun from daily life. Playing as de Blob, gamers will embark on a quest to re-animate the fictional place
of Chroma City (a parody of Manhattan), and bring character back to the
oppressed, by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with
color.
The player—Blob—starts out as a ball of clear "water". De Blob is
free to roll around and collect paint from Paintbots in the three colors
of red, yellow and blue, which can be combined into orange, green,
purple, and brown. de Blob then merely has to touch a building,
lamppost, billboard, or other object for the entire surface of said
object to be smeared in his current color. As he colors the city, the
game's soundtrack, featuring live bands which recorded slow and fast
versions of each "lick" (each hit), gradually adds more instrumentation
as well as an additional "layer" of sound corresponding to de Blob's
current colour—being red usually adds a saxophone solo to the music, for
example.
As de Blob collects paint, his size increases to a maximum of 100; each
object he paints costs a paint point, as does attacking enemies. de
Blob can get rid of his colour with water.
