Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a charming combination of side-scroller and platformer that balances out its lack in difficulty and very short length with its humor, appealing story and fluid gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the great twist on visuals and gameplay, there literally is zero challege to them other than "how fast can you complete it" with no fail states.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The platforming was smooth for me; I used a controller and was never frustrated with controls/response.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With such an easy difficulty and a cartoony interface, younger players may find the best experience with this game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The levels are really varied and it makes a good effort to introduce new mechanics and new ways to play the levels as the story progresses.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Bright colors and a bouncy soundtrack layer the game into being a cartoon-like experience.
