Story

This is a story about a boy. Like many boys of the 21st century, this boy has a friend from outer space. For this boy, his friend is a blob from the planet, Blobonia. Blob loves jelly beans. Coconut, cola, strawberry, licorice, and more, blob will eat them, and when he does, he turns into amazing things, like ladders, walls, bridges, and even a hummingbird! Together, the boy and his blob must defeat the evil emperor of Blobonia.

Overview

A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobonia is a side-scrolling platformer in which you and your friend Blob (full name Blobert) travel together on earth and on Blobonia in a quest to defeat the evil emperor.

Blobert can change into several different items when he is fed jelly beans. A licorice jelly bean, for instance, will change Blobert into a ladder, a honey jelly bean will turn him into a hummingbird. The list is as follows:

Licorice - Ladder - Climb to high places
Strawberry - Bridge - Walk across gaps
Coconut - Coconut - Roll the coconut; the camera follows and you get a "sneak peek"
Cola - Bubble - Get inside to float safely underwater
Cinnamon - Blowtorch - Burn webs
Apple - Jack - Lifts up objects
Vanilla - Umbrella - Fall slowly or protect yourself from falling objects
Tangerine - Trampoline - Jump very high
Root Beer - Rocket - Get on and move between worlds
Honey - Hummingbird - Blob will be able to fly to you
Punch - Hole - Fall through to get to new places
Lime - Key - Unlock doors
Orange - Vitablaster! - Shoot vitamins at enemies
Ketchup - You'll have to find this one out yourself...

The boy must make use of all of these jelly beans, collect diamonds and treasure, and defeat the final boss on Blobonia, the emperor, by using vitamins. The emperor has a sweet tooth to the extent that vitamins are fatal.
