Wii classic...Or cult classic. Or niche thing hardly anybody noticed, is finally available for archiving!

I remember it had a cool little musical idea where each colour added a new instrument to the backing track of the level as you painted everything in funky hues. Very pleasant and relaxing. Is it badass enough? Does it age well? Does anybody remember it had a sequel? Does anybody care?
On an unrelated note, i just found a button in the most unintuitive place inside my shirt. What kind of madman designed this contraption??

It only took nine years, but the 2009 Wii platformer de Blob has finally received a PC release.
Available now on Steam and GOG for ?13.49 / $14.99 (a 25 per cent discount available through 4th May), this looks like a fairly straightforward updated port of the 3D platformer about a colourful blob painting a monochrome town.
The PC port was developed by Blitworks, who handled ports for Fez, Broken Age, Axiom Verge, Invisible, Inc., and more.
We recommended de Blob upon its initial launch on Wii. "It's got 'Destined For Cult Status' written all over it," said former Eurogamer editor Kristan Reed in his 2008 de Blob review.
Back in 2014 publisher Nordic Games acquired the de Blob IP from its original now defunct publisher, THQ. At the time Nordic Games teased that it would do something with the license, but all things de Blob went dark for a few years there. In that time Nordic Games renamed itself THQ Nordic because it could and it would stay in line with the properties it had acquired.
