  • Summary: Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer about an ornery mutant blob that, after being held captive in a lab that can only be described as something out of a retro sci-fi movie from the early '50's, escapes into the world and sets out on a path to destroy and consume everything! A follow-up to last year's PlayStation®Network title Tales from Space: About a Blob, Mutant Blobs Attack will contain a wide range of exciting new features and gameplay modes designed exclusively for the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system.

    A delightful comic revenge fantasy of epic proportions.

    Mutant Blobs Attack! isn't a game with many surprises up its sleeve, but within its designed simplicity it contains unbridled joy. It's a game that focuses on being fun first, and succeeds at that ambition.

    Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!!! is a perfect example and a showcase of what you can expect from well-designed, properly-priced downloadable games. Bigger developers may need to take note as well if they want us to pay full retail prices for their titles. Great job DrinkBox Studios!

    Quite possibly the best value on the Vita right now. This is a neat, fun platforming adventure at a great price.

    Agreed with other reviewer, didn't expect too much for $8, then was awesome. Maybe you could say it was too short, but, then again, I payed so much less for this than other games that ended up costing me 50 bucks.... and i had already spent all my money on memory cards. :) Expand
  2. Good game, good price, good graphics... I'm enjoying the slow paced nature of the game, only enviromental enemies, plenty of time to explore, maybe it will change soon enough but I think this people nailed it with the art style and gameplay. Expand
  3. Felt like a cross between Sushi Cat, Katarmi Damacy, the credit sequence to the Pixar film incredibles (sort of.. in art style.. kinda..) and.. well pretty much any modern platformer. There's no huge leaps in innovation in store for you and it's not a particularly challenging game, I imagine most people will breeze through the levels in 2 or 3 moderate sessions.

    But it's a charismatic little beast. The art style is charming, the cut sequences funny and whilst the individual components to the games core mechanics might not be that new, the combination of them was quirky enough to keep me fully entertained the entire time.

    Replay wise, I'd say that the game has a fair bit to offer too, there are hidden collectibles on each level but more importantly, a global score board. In well known games a global score board is usually a bit of a waste of time as there are so many people competing the odds are you wont get anywhere near the top 100. But in mutant blobs (for now at least) the board is not so over saturated that its an impossible task to get down into double digits, offering a nice incentive to really push your skills to the edge.

    When I bought this game it was on sale on Steam and cost me slightly under £3. At that price, you're practically mugging yourself not to buy it.

    What could have made it better?
    ->More levels
    ->Option to play against either your best time's ghost or your nearest best adversary on the score boards ghost.

  4. I gave Mutant Blobs a 7. It's a visually lovely bite size platformer with a few shortcomings but ultimately it is what it says on the box. There's some replay value in finding all of your little mutant blob friends, and of course collecting as many points as you want, there's also leaderboards which I personally don't care for.
    I'll no doubt jump back in every now and then for a bit of mindless fun, but the pretty aesthetics aside, Mutant Blobs is a shallow gaming experience reflected by it's budget price. It is however, a nice showcase of the Vita's software variety.
