Never figured it out. Just spent ten minutes trying to remember what this game was called. childhood frustration. I did think it was a cool concept. But I think (hope) I was just too young (didn't speak English either).
While this sequel to the classic A Boy and His Blob on the NES has only ever been released on the Game Boy, it's absolutely worth the attention of anyone that enjoyed the original. It's extraordinarily difficult at first, but you really can't beat the fun of exploring strange places with a jellybean-hungry xenomorph!
THIS GAME I remember it was so hard! Plus I didn't speak english back then. Anyone used the rocket right from the beggining? It sent you aaaall the way across the game to crash and die beside the blobette's cage XD
Exactly the same for me xD No english, no idea - Lime = Key, then Rocket -> Death xD Seeing this gameplay, my 7 year old me would've never ever finished this game, no way, these puzzles, throwing a wrench, climbing, all the patience thats needed, the cluncy controls, just impossible. He didn't even use the rocket xD
@@johnleorid Yes. And seeing him just casually throw a mint jellybean ***Into The Fire (!!!)*** to put it out instead of feeding it to the blob made me kinda angry. Like. WTF. The whole game is supposed to be figuring what to feed the blob, not throwing beans into the fuckin fire.
I played only once, probably at a Friends's, when I was a kid and this game got stuck with me forever. Until today (I'm 41 ok?!) that I saw It in one of these USB-consoles with more than 1000 games. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I've been trying to find the name since I was 9-10 years old
i probably played this game more than any other game boy game back in the day. i never could beat it but i always got a little bit further or found something new.
I couldn't get ANYWHERE in this game when I first had it. How are you supposed to know you can just fall through that part of the stage with hole? What? What's even the point of the rootbeer rocket? From what I've seen it only even works in one screen.
2 years ago i tried to find it. Today i stumbled upon it after trying to find it again by watching literally an hour of a video in a all games for the Gameboy list... Cheese.. I played this where i was like... 4 or 5... I'm 28 now.
I can't believe how close I actually was to beating this game as a kid now that I've looked this up. I always got a little farther every time but never quite managed to figure out the ending
Was Down+Select not carried over from the NES version? Also could you still slowly descend from large distances with the Cola bubble, like in the NES version? Having only played the original NES version, I’m just assuming that both of these techniques could have saved some time (and jellybeans) in some spots.
It was difficult for me at the beginning like most people, I had to learn what effect each jellybean had and several times Blob ended up pushing me to my death due to falls, I had to force him to position at certain points with other Jellybeans to overcome obstacles, I think that was the most tedious part of the game, but in general it was entertaining.
Whoever made this game was on crack. One tiny mistake and it's game over (whistle while hommingbird on wrong spot, ghost moves out of position while you're on higher ground, etc)
its funny that the game is really the blob using you to find its queen and not that the avatar is finding a queen. So a let down that the boy gets nothing out of it, the blob could be more appreciative to the boy giving treasure or something of value to the boy but no dialogue between the two characters, makes for a let down on the end. the princess falling to the ground when bottom of cage released. oh my thought there was going to be a splat! there were floor segments that looked like something was beneath - I recall trying to punch holes to get there. I never solved the thing, thanks so much for the playthrough. there were other beans that were not used- why? red hearings?
@@jethrotannis5673 The whole point of the game is to feed the jellybeans to the blob. How the hell were we supposed to know to throw them at random shit as well? Especially when the blob would literally move to catch the beans.
I mean. It IS solvable. Not gonna say I didn't just try to use the rootbeer rocket though. I barely got past the coconut switch machine though and tossed it as a kid. Went back to Final Fantasy and said "Screw this shit" to old Blobbo.

To me as a child this was the most frustrating video game experience.
AMEN. Took me 7 years to figure out the jellybean part 😅
I was just running back and forth in that same room for years lol.
Agree

this game is just try and (t)error.....
Lol yea a friend gave me this game and yea was the shi*iest game I played

@@Koratato I'm happy for you, it's always a frustrating nightmare to find stuff from your childhood from a few vague memories
Same haha. This game was such a mystery to me. I always came back to it but barely understood anything.
This video is bringing back traumatic memories of how frustrating it was. Also, coconut = coconut. Incredible game design
God, that music is so ear-piercing.
This game gave me anger issues!
I used to love getting on the rocket and crashing into the opposite tower. I love that they included that useless red herring!
This game is the sensational sequel to A Boy and His Blob, winner of a Parents' Choice 1990 Approval!
Whaaaaaaat.....mint extinguishes lamps?.........young kid mind blown
Exactly my thoughts 😆 ... how in the hell were you supposed to find that out. This game is insane.
My incredulous reaction to that also. I was like "You gotta be kidding me. This guy just throwing jellybeans into the fire instead of at Blob."

I had this game, was an wonderful discover.
Did you play the NES or Wii game? They were both really good too.
There is a secret in this game that I never figured out what it is for either.
You used the mint to turn him into ice, then slide off the map.
Such memories, this one was a difficult mother.. I beat it it was awesomw
2 years ago i tried to find it. Today i stumbled upon it after trying to find it again by watching literally an hour of a video in a all games for the Gameboy list... Cheese.. I played this where i was like... 4 or 5... I'm 28 now.
Mmmmmh! Enfin retrouvé... Warning backroom! Les puristes seront 😅
I loved this game when I was little. We didn't have different flavours on jelly beans in Sweden back then, just cola.
Just remember, little kids playing this were supposed to be able to figure this nonsensical shit out.
I'm 35 and couldn't figure out the first fucking screen
@@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials I was frustrated as shit as a young child trying to play this too. This game really fucks with you.
I keep stumbling into the most bizarre game boy games.
That was awesome.👍
I can't believe how close I actually was to beating this game as a kid now that I've looked this up. I always got a little farther every time but never quite managed to figure out the ending
I used ketchup to bring the blob to me not honey.
I NEVER understood the connection between the Strawberry jelly beans and the bridge...
+TrueSolunar I never did either

Probably. This isn't a speedrun though, just a playthrough.

well, you actually can complain to him twitter.com/pitfallcreator
what do you mean "whistle while hummingbird on wrong spot"? If you're that desperate to get the "ghost" back, use ketchup.
I loved this game!
i played this but never bet the game
keep up the good work
Great game. Lame ending. I also always wondered why, if we were on an alien planet of blobs then why were all the suits of armour human-shaped?
I was like 7 when I first got this game. Like many people have said I got a little farther each time but never could figure out the ending.
Does Mint do anything to the blob or is it just fr putting out fires?
In my memory the blob hate mint and just go away
another cute game but not really interested in finding the end. It was a change of pace from other games I played.
I got this used, without any instructions and it was so frustrating playing it without knowing what to do, how to do it and why.

This game is very similar to the NES version of A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia
Cool play through. Do you have any plans to play classics like Pokemon or Final Fantasy?
Jose Mendez Probably not Pokémon, but I do have plans for the FF games.
Juan Sanchez, orgullo Latinoamericano
Man, this game its so similar to the Pitfall games, maybe is that David Crane was the main designer.
Holy fucking nostalgia
Is that an actual game boy or a really top notch emulator filter?
It's a retroarch shader
I still prefer the first game. This game looks very difficult.
This game looked like NES.
Mint puts out the fire!?!? Kinda garbage is that. I was so stumped by this as a child. Sure. Throw a jellybean into the fire.
If only I knew mint put out fire. I literally could have beat the game… never could figure out how to get past that cauldron…
@@jethrotannis5673 The whole point of the game is to feed the jellybeans to the blob. How the hell were we supposed to know to throw them at random shit as well? Especially when the blob would literally move to catch the beans.
Am I the only one that crashed the game by using a ladder on top of the tower? 😁
American Version Morty
Japanese Version Ness
I gave it a try but its really boring. Maybe I am too old for it.
I have a deep nostalgia for the NES game, but I can admit these games were trash. High on concept, garbage execution. I still need to try the Wii one.
Damn
it was the worst game of Game Boy.
Do you know dragon's lair
I mean. It IS solvable. Not gonna say I didn't just try to use the rootbeer rocket though. I barely got past the coconut switch machine though and tossed it as a kid. Went back to Final Fantasy and said "Screw this shit" to old Blobbo.
Cursed game design
the worst and most annoying soundtrack of all times.
Damn
