Is It Any Good?
A game inspired by the BP oil spill may not sound like a good time, but BLOBSTER resists the urge to be preachy and focuses instead on fun. It's not a perfect game, but it ticks off enough checkmarks to be worth your time. The graphics are cute and draw you in. The puzzles are challenging, but not too difficult, and it even gives clever nods to the kings of the genre -- Angry Birds and Doodle Jump. The lack of a musical soundtrack is a bit curious, though. And the storyline feels forced, even though most players will skip right past it to start playing. There's plenty of variety among the levels and there are 40 to enjoy.
