About Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a sci‑fi puzzle‑platformer created by Drinkbox Studios, the team behind Guacamelee!. Players control an ill‑tempered blob that expands by devouring objects, growing from a captive size to a world‑eating giant. The game offers 24 main levels with retro‑50s inspired settings and five top‑down bonus stages, plus a suite of mutant powers such as magnetism, telekinesis and rocket boosting.
01 / THE GUIDE
Growth Mechanics
The core loop revolves around swallowing anything the blob touches, which causes it to increase in size. This growth is described as “mind‑boggling” and allows the player to become massive enough to dominate the environment.
The blob can jump, slam, roll and rocket through the air, and these movement options are presented alongside its growth.
- Observe how size changes affect your ability to reach higher platforms.
- Experiment with different objects to see how quickly the blob expands.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mutant Abilities
The blob gains several distinct powers: magnetism to pull metal, telekinesis to move objects, and a rocket boost for aerial travel. These abilities are highlighted as “freakish” and integral to solving puzzles.
Each ability interacts with the environment, letting the player push, pull, or lift obstacles as part of the platforming challenges.
- Combine magnetism with telekinesis to manipulate multiple metal objects.
- Use rocket boosting to cross large gaps after growing large enough.

Level Structure
The game features 24 primary levels set in varied retro‑50s inspired environments, providing a range of visual themes and platforming scenarios. Additionally, five top‑down bonus levels offer a different perspective.
Each level is designed to test the blob’s growth and abilities, encouraging players to adapt their strategy as they become larger.
- Treat bonus levels as opportunities to practice abilities without the pressure of size growth.
- Notice how environmental design changes between the main and top‑down stages.
