Out of all the Playstation Vita launch titles, the best one of them all is a?PSN-only?2D platformer. Yes, a small $8 downloadable game manages to beat out?every other launch title and even though it is likely destined to become this year?s Rayman: Origins (a great game that won?t get as much attention as it deserves), the world is a little better for it existing.
Because the?story revolves around a tiny mutant blob escaping a test facility and going into the world, you will visit many varied locations such as homes, spaceships, the moon, and even an army base. The goal is to reach the end of the level safely, all while gobbling up everything in sight to get big enough to?eat a cork blocking your path. This may sound very similar to the crazy Katamari?Damacy series, but in actuality, Tales From Space takes the growth mechanic and makes it its own, creating a unique and memorable experience.
The 2D worlds of Mutant Blobs Attack are filled with many well-thought-out environments and great platforming segments. Besides the ?eating everything in sight??to advance portions, you will have certain levels that turn you into a rocket powered blob. By doing this, you can float around in very?expansive areas, dodging lasers and consuming helicopters that are trying to kill you. The developers really hit the nail on the head when it came to balancing the gameplay on the ground, compared with that in the air. Whenever you start to get bored with one, you?re immediately switched to the other with the game throwing new tough challenges at you.
Adding even more depth to the gameplay is the use of magnetism. Many objects within the game will glow purple and you can either attract yourself to the metal, or repel yourself. For example, you may need to be propelled through a narrow corridor and have to dodge spikes by repelling?or magnetizing against the walls. These sections are extremely tense and help to create one of the best 2D games in recent history.
One thing that could hurt the game is having too few, or too many levels, having a game that drags on. Even?though the game?features just?24 levels?that can be beaten in? 3-4 hours, it is the perfect length. The game doesn?t overstay its welcome and manages to stay fresh throughout. I may have been left wanting more once the credits rolled after one of the greatest final levels in history (I won?t ruin it, but let?s say that if this was the ending to Mass Effect 3, Shepard would have failed miserably), but that definitely wasn?t because I felt that the game hadn?t offered enough in terms of gameplay, and this is mainly due to the addition of bonus levels.
Throughout each of the 6 worlds, there are 6 levels (one is mandatory) that use the tilt functionality of the PlayStation Vita. In these levels, you?ll be placed in an enclosed area and must reach the end. On your journey to the finish line, you?ll have to dodge?numerous black?holes, capture blobs hidden in the world, or eat tanks and cows that get in your way. Even though I did die more than I would have liked, the game?s checkpoint system is so well done that you?ll be put back almost exactly before you died, cutting down on any frustration associated with death.
