de Blob is based on the PC game of the same name, designed by nine students studying Game Design & Development at Utrecht University’s School of the Arts in the Netherlands. (The "de" in the title is nothing more than "the" in Dutch.) When the students started creating the concept, Utrecht was being rebuilt and the principal task for creating the game was to convey how the railroad station area of Utrecht would look in 10 years. The city of Utrecht later adopted the character of de Blob as its mascot. And, now the game is being developed by THQ’s Australia-based studio, Blue Tongue Entertainment.
In the Wii version, you control the movement of de Blob primarily with the analog stick on the nunchuck. The game takes advantage of motion-sensitive controls by striking the Wii remote in any direction to jump. The player must also shake the Wii remote when certain enemies attack you. The game features a lock-on mechanic as well. This is used for attacking enemies, collecting paint, and jumping to special platforms that allow the player to jump higher by locking on to other platforms.
In the Wii version, there are ten unique worlds in Chroma City. Each world consists of an extremely large main level and two shorter levels. All the levels are timed. In the main levels, there are dozens of challenges to complete.
There are four main types of challenges. The most important is the landmark challenge type. By completing challenges you get more points, more challenges, and are rewarded with more time.
Various pickups are available in each level. The player can not only pick up extra time and lives, but more ways to revitalize the environment as well. Styles, when picked up, add different designs to what de Blob is painting. Transform Engines, when hit, change a once glum area, into a booming and colorful one.
Finally, a paint tanker makes de Blob invincible for a short period of time.
Mix and match colors to paint the world in this puzzle platformer from THQ.

Gameplay
All versions of de Blob feature a protagonist as a blob of paint who must restore color to the environment. As de Blob moves through the expansive levels, he absorbs paint canisters which allows de Blob to splatter paint onto buildings, cars, and more by touching them. Platforming is required to paint difficult to access areas.
