Blob the Klex offers players a heartwarming jump’n run adventure that captivates with its lovingly crafted design, creative puzzles and unique protagonist – Klex the cat. The colourful cel-shaded look, combined with detailed level design, makes the game a real highlight that delights with its playful charm and technical sophistication.
The focus is on the procedurally animated movement of the cat, which gives the game organic, fluid controls and allows players to interact with cat-like behaviours. Klex explores an imaginative world stylistically inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli. Exploration is the main focus: without any time pressure, you roam lovingly designed landscapes, jump over obstacles and solve creative puzzles that are perfectly tailored to the animal protagonist.
The level design is particularly impressive, not only visually appealing but also cleverly thought out in terms of gameplay mechanics. Each environment feels unique and encourages experimentation. Even if you don’t succeed in a section straight away, it’s simply a joy to let Klex run through the world again and again.
The game ends with a clearly defined conclusion and leaves you with a warm feeling, while at the same time arousing curiosity about what will happen next with Klex. Blob the Klex proves that a well-thought-out concept, coherent design and a charming protagonist are enough to create an all-round compelling gaming experience.
