Play Blob, The Online

You ooze around as a pixelated blob, swallowing smaller blobs to grow while bigger ones hunt you—simple, janky, and weirdly tense for something made of squares.

Game Overview

So, Blob, The is this weird little Atari 2600 homebrew where you play as, well, a blob. Not gonna lie, the controls take a second to click—you basically ooze around absorbing smaller blobs to grow, while avoiding bigger ones that can eat you. It’s got that classic Atari jank where everything’s squares and beeps, but somehow that just makes the whole "horror blob" thing creepier.

What’s cool is how it turns something so simple into this oddly tense survival game. One minute you’re slowly expanding, feeling unstoppable, and the next you’re cornered by a massive enemy blob and desperately trying to squeeze through a gap. The Halloween vibe is all in the premise—no fancy graphics needed.

Definitely more of a novelty than a deep experience, but if you’ve got a soft spot for retro oddities, it’s a fun five-minute distraction. Just don’t expect it to overstay its welcome.
