A Boy and His Blob

Date played: August 15th
Platform: PS4

I had time to play a few levels of this charming puzzle platformer, in the third world. Of the three levels we played, two featured a new jelly bean, granting the wonderful canon ability. This allows the boy to jump inside Blob, then shoot himself out at high speeds, rolled up in a ball that can destroy certain walls.
Yay!

It creates some really interesting puzzles, as I had to find the right angle to bounce the boy off a wall into the destructible elements. A few of the chests evaded us though, which means we have a few undiscovered secret levels left to find at some point later. One of my favorite scenes was at the end of one level, where other Blobs joined in the celebration, it was just cute.
