250k is a good....start. I hope that this game exhibits legs and gets more sales, both here and worldwide.

Umm Kai De Blob came out in September so I would guesstimate that De Blob did 500k or more in the US.

I thought the 250k figure was Lifetime-to-date?

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #103 on:** January 27, 2009, 01:54:34 PM »

250 K seems a bit low for a game that was released in September. Even if they are estimates they do put the game at at least 350 K or more, if you count worldwide sales.

Well, yeah, 250k is US-only.

Drudging up this old topic, but I finally got to play this game. I gave it to my brother for Christmas. I really like the multiplayer portion of the game. If you have some good players it can get really competitive. Too bad its only split screen though.

I really need to pick this one back up, it's a great game. I can't remember why I stopped playing it, I might've gotten another game I wanted to try or something. I've not tried out the multiplayer mode though.

I stopped playing it when one level took about an hour and a half to beat, but I had to quit before I could finish it. Then gaming ADD struck and I moved to something else. I'm going to finish it, though. I really love the whole experience. If anyone hasn't picked this up already, it's down to $20 now. It's well worth the money to pick it up. I'm hoping THQ makes a sequel for this.

A sequel would be great, but I have severe doubts. How well did this game sell anyway?
Though I guess the real question, at least for the publisher, is if the game turned a profit. I'm sure there are ways the game could be improved, so I hope it happens. But I'm certainly not expecting anything.

Kairon · « **Reply #109 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:42:36 PM »

Last I heard, THQ had shipped somewhere around 700k copies worldwide. But that was ages ago.

Stratos · « **Reply #110 on:** January 04, 2010, 07:15:43 PM »

A also hear that THQ was pleased with the sales of the game.

This reminds me I need to finish it as well.

I've only played the multi with two people, I could see 4-player being a blast, though.

Yay a sequel! I love love love this game and return to it every few months. I think the music has much to do with my love. I listen to the soundtrack constantly. Its great pop-funk. Its also made me a big fan of The Bamboos. I hope they get The Bamboos to do the sequel's music (and they give them proper credit this time!)

EDIT - I'm listening to the soundtrack RIGHT NOW!!!

I just started it and I have to agree. The music sets the perfect mood for the game.

So glad this sequel is confirmed, now all we need is confirmation that Blue Tongue will be handling this again.

Mop it up · « **Reply #115 on:** February 04, 2010, 07:08:38 PM »

I'm actually kind of surprised to hear there is a sequel in the works, I wasn't sure if the game sold well enough for that. One thing I hope they add to the sequel is mid-level save points! Either that, or make the levels smaller, similar to the bonus levels in the first game.

This reminds me, I still need to finish this game. And I agree that the music is excellent, it's infectiously catchy.

I agree with Johnny, at first it was cool, then it was like a chore.

Stratos · « **Reply #117 on:** February 05, 2010, 04:06:09 AM »

Even a mid-point save state would be nice so I could freeze my progress to come back to at a later date.

The game sold over 700k if I recall, Mop it up.

One thing I'd like to see in the sequel is creative use of Wii controls. This game uses a flick of the Wiimote to jump, which is pretty pointless, though I'm not sure if a game like this can really use motions. It'd be neat if you could use the pointer to draw on buildings, and maybe earn points based on how complex the picture is, or something.

If flicking the Remote at different velocities actually mean throwing blob around with different speeds and varying physics, it might work.

Mop it up · « **Reply #121 on:** February 06, 2010, 09:04:24 PM »

That's an interesting idea, but I wonder how feasible it is.

And I really hope they don't tack on words like "Party" and "Bash," that's a good way to kill a sequel...

Wouldn't that be "splash party"?
