✨ BLOBANDCONQUER ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about blobAndConquer — yeah that's the manual name, it's the Blob Wars: Blob And Conquer situation and it lives in section 6 of the manual, which is the games section, iykyk 💖

🌈 NAME 🌈

blobAndConquer — it's a 3D platform shooting game. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

blobAndConquer [OPTION]

literally just run it, optionally with some flags, slay ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, plot time, and it's giving dramatic 😭

Galdov got defeated (apparently, key word apparently), and the Fire, Time, Space and Reality Crystals got reclaimed. and you'd think that's a wrap, right? wrong. because for the Blobs, the battle was only just beginning. 🙈

Bob — yes, Bob, our main character, our icon, our king 👑 — had already rescued so many Blobs and fought so many battles. but now? now he has an ever bigger task ahead of him. the Blobs' homeworld is still absolutely littered with alien forces, and Bob once again makes it his whole personality to lead the counter attack. and here's the thing: even without Galdov, the aliens are still extremely well organised. like, annoyingly organised. ngl it's a problem. 💀

They're Ready. Will You Be?

^(the game said that. not me. but fr fr, are you? 🫶)
