Synopsis :
De Blob (Stylized as de BLOB) is a puzzle-platform game developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and published by THQ for the Wii. Players explore and liberate an alien city from the evil and monochromatic INKT Corporation that has taken over the city and outlawed all colour and fun from daily life. Playing as Blob, players embark on a quest to re-animate the fictional Chroma City and free it from the INKT Corporation by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with colour. Aside from the original version, a cancelled version for the Nintendo DS was being developed by Helixe. The game was originally scheduled for a February 2008 release, but was delayed and then released on 22 September for the Wii. An iOS version of the game developed by Universomo ended up releasing earlier on 8 July the same year. De Blob was released for Windows on 27 April 2017, ported by BlitWorks. Ports of the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One came later on November 14 of the same year. A Nintendo Switch port was released on 26 June 2018. Told through a combination of pre-rendered cinematic sequences and in-game dialog, de Blob tells the story of Chroma City, its invasion by the INKT Corporation and its subsequent liberation by the titular Blob and the Color Underground. Initially a lively and colourful city populated by its equally colourful and diverse citizens, the Raydians, Chroma City is suddenly invaded by the INKT Corporation. An alien corporate military dictatorship, INKT is led by the villainous Comrade Black and dedicated to the eradication of colour through its « War on Color ». Chroma City quickly falls to the invading army of Inkies and colour-draining Leechbots, leaving its landscape barren, its flora withered and its fauna in hiding. The citizens are rounded up and turned into « Graydians », encased in homogeneous gray prison suits distinguished only by a bar code on the back of each shell. The Graydians are forced to serve as both menial labor and as a living resource of ink, the latter of which is mined literally from their sadness. Blob witnesses the takeover of Chroma City from his jungle retreat and goes into action, first rescuing the only remaining pocket of resistance, the Color Underground. Blob joins the group, and under their orders, begins to win back sections of the city and arouse the vicious ire of Comrade Black. In response, Black orders everything from propaganda campaigns to the creation of super soldiers in an attempt to stop Blob, though to no avail. With nearly all of Chroma City in control of the Color Underground, Comrade Black desperately orders all his troops to retreat to his spaceship in Lake Raydia, and attempts to launch all the stolen colour into a black hole where it will be lost forever. However, Blob manages to stowaway onto the spaceship and defeat Black, then detonates a device that devours the spacecraft in a burst of colour and whimsy while escaping on a Hoverboard. With the Raydians finally safe, Blob returns to his jungle retreat, napping on a tree as he was at the story's beginning. A post-credit scene reveals that Comrade Black survived the destruction of his spaceship and is now trapped on a tiny island populated by cute and colourful creatures, much to his chagrin.
