Bod Blob is a great platform puzzler. Behind its attractive facade lies one very demanding puzzle game. You control Bod, at least that it is what I think his name is. He is the cute little green guy with big eyes. Old bod can push blocks around, light dynamite, and throw the occasional switch. In order to complete a level, you must

• destroy all the gray blocks,
• collect all the stars, and
  
• move every yellow block to a sparkling location.

To destroy a gray block, you can either push a block over an edge into the water or blow it up with dynamite. You have be careful to not blow yourself up, get hit with a red bullet, or fall into the water. This all sounds simple enough, but the levels are quite challenging.



While this is a wonderful game, I do have some minor complaints. Some of the levels require careful timing and quick fingers. Also, you have to complete each level before moving on to the next. I got stuck on a couple and found it a little aggravating. And, I wish they had included a level editor. Don't let any of this for keeping you from playing this game. Oh, one last thing, the blocks sometimes hide the placement of ladders.

All of the instructions and menus are in Polish A nice change for all us English-only folks. Here is a site to translate a word or two into English.

The url given in the instructions for Buziol Games (http://www.buziol-games.prv.pl/) does not seem to be working these days. You can get the game from a number of other sources: Caiman Free Games, Acid-Play, or PC Gaming.

Let me give you a couple of hints. You do not have to destroy the blue blocks in order to complete a level. With dynamite, you can blow up some other items such as the switch. Lastly, by hitting the switch twice quickly, you can release only one block.
