Not sure why they made a game called Tales From Space: About A Blob about an alien blob that eats things to become a bigger blob and made the focus of the gameplay "frustrating physics-based precision platforming through spikes and lasers like the later levels of LittleBigPlanet" instead of "rolling around and eating things", but to be fair on the dev team, they immediately realized their mistake and course-corrected in the sequel.

Just play Mutant Blobs Attack instead.
