- Teenage Blob turns 3! - 15 August 2023
Guess which crowd-surfing, sandwich-slinging, high-five-delivering blob just turned 3! Teenage Blob! It's absolutely wild that this little punk game is already 3 years old! It feels like just yesterday that we were animating Blob's little butt pedaling around on his BMX, but here we are, 3 years later! To celebrate this occasion we're running a blobtastic birthday sale! To mark it's 3rd anniversary, Teenage Blob (and the Special Edition DLC) are both discounted by 53%. We always knew Teenage Blob was an exceptionally weird offering. 3 years after it launched, people are still confused about the idea of a game band and a music band joining forces to create a split release. It's pretty safe to say that another 3 years from now, this will probably still be the case. We don't know if this kind of fringe release will ever find a huge audience, but there's 2 things we do know: 1) We truly bel…
