THQ Wireless has announced that an iPhone version of the de Blob video game franchise is now available for download worldwide on iTunes for $2.99 and will soon be available for the iPad. A puzzle-action maze game with more than 4,000 unique levels, de Blob: Revolution provides players with hours of pick-up and play, brain teasing fun and brings back to center stage the colorful, paint-splattering character, de Blob.
“de Blob has a huge fan following across both core and casual gamers, and this new mobile game is just one of the many ways in which we will be further extending this brand and bringing the humorous, paint-splattering character to life,” said Adam Comiskey, Vice President of THQ Wireless. “We are excited to bring back the de Blob franchise to our wireless portfolio as an all-new mobile game that delivers even more fun and entertaining play features than before.”
In de Blob: Revolution, the citizens of Prisma City are trapped as Graydians by the evil I.N.K.T. Corporation. As de Blob, players must draw or tap the screen in order to help free these Graydians by finding the best possible route within the maze of each building. There are three types of buildings in the game that players can choose from, including the Rescue Building, where players try to free as many Graydians as possible with no time limit and no threat from the I.N.K.T. Corporation; the Speed Rescue Building, where players aim to free the Graydians and receive a bonus for rescuing them quickly; and the I.N.K.T. Chase Building, where players have a limited time to attempt to free the Graydians before the I.N.K.T. agents enter the property and seize de Blob. Players can unlock new game features as well by increasing their ranking in three ways: A green ranking is awarded for freeing most of the Graydians in a particular maze; a blue ranking is given for rapidly freeing the Graydians; and, an orange ranking is awarded for freeing the Graydians in the buildings with the more challenging mazes.
