Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack goes officially on sale today on PSN Stores! Not only are we cheap (the price of a really expensive Starbucks) but apparently people actually LIKE the game!
Check out what our friends over at IGN and Just Push Start thought.
In celebration we’re also releasing the opening cinematic for all to see! A little insight into why our main character has a slight beef to pick with the world. Giddy up!!!
That crazy Blob has been at it some more over on Twitter.. We’re not sure how he’s able to use a keyboard?
In case you’ve been missing it, here are some of the things the Blob has been up to over the past couple of weeks:
Make sure to follow the Blob on Twitter @MutantBlob for all the latest updates!
Hey y’all. This is Steph, the Art Director on Mutant Blobs Attack.
At DrinkBox Studios, we try our best to make more than just the gameplay as fun as possible. So, along with the unquestionably satisfying laughs of rolling up and eating terrified humans, we give players the extra treat of sweet sweet comedy candy to keep them full on their blobby adventure.
Puns!
Love ‘em or hate ‘em; nobody can deny the appeal of a well placed, groan-inducing pun. Here are a few BLOBvious examples of the incredibly sophisticated humor in our game:
Video game references!
If you pay close attention (and know a thing or two about them vidya games) you might just spot several ingeniously clever references strewn about the blob’s world. Of course there’s everyone’s favorite “ALL YOUR BEER ARE BELONG TO US.” visible right at the beginning of the game:
But what other side-splitting shenanigans await those brave enough to chew their way through the meat of the game? Being the meta nerds that we are, we weren’t content with just more bad great puns, so we upped our game by making most of the video game jokes FOOD related. Thus echoing the theme of the blob’s unquenchable hunger…. as well as highlighting the multi-layered genius of DrinkBox’s unforgettable comedy styling.
A few tasty examples:
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! by Dejobaan Games
Superbrother’s Sword & Sworcery
Critter Crunch by Capy Games
And Yet it Moves by Broken Rules
They Bleed Pixels by Spooky Squid Games
N+ by Metanet Software
Now this last one isn’t food related, but who doesn’t enjoy a playable mini-game inspired by the O.G. hand-held? 
Internet memes!
Last, but not least, we have teh interwebs! An abundant source of free comedy, captioned cat pictures, and videos of idiots hurting themselves since 1993. See if you can get these examples of comedy gold:
If you get this last one, you REALLY know your memes!
Hey everyone! We are excited to finally share the official trailer for Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack with you all. You can check it out below:
We tried to pack in as much awesome as we could into both the game and the trailer. Let us know what you think!
Hi all, Graham here.
We were lucky enough to secure special guest MEGASHAUN to write and record the end credits song for Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. Shaun makes a brief cameo in the game as a reporter on the street, where he accidentally gets in the Blob’s path.
The song gives an often overlooked human side of the events that unfold in the game. Told from the perspective of a remorseful scientist, the song describes his feelings as he watches the Blob go on its destructive rampage.
Make sure to check out MEGASHAUN’s Bandcamp page for the song HERE, where you can download high quality versions of this track, as well as some awesome additional remixes.
With development finally over, the Blob has taken some time off and is out exploring the world. In case you’ve been missing it, the Blob been sharing images of his adventures on Twitter @MutantBlob. Here’s a summary of the images from the last week:
Hey all, Graham here.
We ran a competition at PAX Prime last year where people competed on two of the levels from Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack for a chance to get their likeness put into the game. Competition was fierce near the end with the top competitors continually knocking each other out of first place.
Final Scores
With development over, we wanted to share the final results of this with everyone.
In first place for the Moon level, we had gamer and overall nice-guy who went by the handle “Geems”.
In first place on the Desert level, we had PAX neighbor, and gaming virtuoso “PWG”, aka Andy Nguyen, associate producer on Monaco.
The runners up on each of the two levels were friends of the studio “Chris” and “Eeease” (aka Eric) from PSNStores.com. The competition was so close and with first place changing hands so many times we really wanted to include these guys in the game as well.
Thanks again to everyone who came out to see us at PAX. Keep a lookout for these guys in the early levels of Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, coming soon to a Vita near you!
We thought it would be fun to share and old elevator pitch video that we made awhile back for Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack (coming soon to a PlayStation Vita near you!).
Maybe we take things a bit too literally because we filmed this video in a freight elevator. For safety reasons the elevator was not moving (the last inspection was in 2006).
The video introduces the main character of Mutant Blobs Attack, and gives an overview of the type of gameplay to expect, along with some old game footage. Check it out:
Regarding the quality, only the latest in recording technology (iPhone 4), and editing technology (Windows Movie Maker) was used for the making of this pitch video.
For all the latest updates for the game (and more!) Make sure to follow us on Twitter @MutantBlob and @DrinkboxStudios, and like us on Facebook!
Hey everyone, Graham here.
In case you missed it last week, some new details have been released for Mutant Blobs Attack. Check out the full press release HERE, and keep your eyes open for lots of cool new info coming out over the next few weeks.
Hopefully you’ve all had a delicious belly full holidays, we certainly have. But apparently there is a game to finish?
Just wanted to give a holla to Curtis over at PSNStores who kindly gave Tales from Space: About a Blob a nod as one of his PSN GOTY picks for 2011. w00t.
