  If you enjoy fun puzzlers, definitely check it out. The game is a freemium title, so expect to be prompted to make in app purchases for items when you run out. It’s not too pushy though and you can get plenty of gameplay out of it without the need to open your wallet.

  In a sea of matching games, few feel simultaneously as rewarding and as respectful of a player's skill as Rise of the Blobs. It may be soft and jiggly on the outside, but it's hard as nails underneath.

  That frustrating difficulty is also the game’s greatest asset, as it drives players to jump back into another round of tap and swipe mayhem. Variety comes in the great mix of play styles (marathon, timed, etc.) and stages, each of whom bring new types of fruit with different entertaining abilities. All told, however, Rise of the Blobs is about the constant pursuit of that satisfying burst of fruit. Like Jell-O.

  My one complaint about Rise of the Blobs is that when the difficulty ramps up it ramps up hard, even after the update. Once Mal starts to chuck fruit at warp speed it’s extremely tough not to get overwhelmed. At least not without a coconut bomb or two. Even with the difficulty Rise of the Blobs is still plenty of fun. So much so that losing typically ends up being just another excuse to play again. Or maybe get Mal a new hat.

  Otherwise this is a fine piece of work - well presented, packed with unlockables and incredibly moreish. Most importantly, it's a freemium game that doesn't force you to spend to get anywhere. And that, along with all those satisfying squelches, chimes and pops, will be music to anyone's ears.

  So if you like endless puzzle games, Rise of the Blobs is worth a look. The idea is familiar thanks to its obvious inspiration, but changed significantly enough to be entirely its own. Add to that enjoyable visuals and sound, and not having too heavy handed a push towards in-app purchases, and you have a game that should keep its intended audience entertained.
