A Boy and His blob takes place in two very different worlds. The first world lies in the caverns deep beneath the streets of the city in which the boy lives. The second world is on the planet Blobolonia, where Blob is from. 

In the boy's world (Earth) you'll search for hidden treasures, giant diamonds, bags of extra jellybeans and more. The more treasures you find, the more vitamins you can purchase to fight the evil emperor on Blobolonia. The display "TR" at the top of the screen tells you how many treasures are left to be found. Finding your way through the underground caverns won't be easy. There are many dangerous turns - and tumbles. As well as deadly enemies. So it may be wise to keep a map of where you've been - and what's there. 

In the Blob's world (Blobolonia) you'll find orchards, farms, a candy factory and the dangerous home of the evil emperor. You'll also find the sparkling peppermint candies - invaluable when it comes to creating extra lives. To get from the Earth to Blobolonia (or vice versa), the boy must employ a special type of transportation. And unless he's armed with a VitaBlaster and a good supply of vitamins for ammunition, he'll be quite helpless on Blobolonia. Though the boy's world and the Blob's world may appear to be very different, they do have one thing in common: constant surprises!  

Seen on the screen Once you press the Start button, you will see most of the following information across the top or bottom of the screen. What's not there now will be added as the game progresses.:

From left to right and  top to bottom.

*Number of treasures left to find vitamins left number of peppermints collected 
*Lives left
*Jjellybean flavor selected

There are fourteen different  flavors of jellybeans.  You'll start the game with twelve jellybean flavors. And throughout your adventure you'll be able to pick up a couple more. In the beginning you'll have to experiment to see what shape each flavor makes. But you'll quickly find you have them memorized. Because each flavor name corresponds somehow to the shape it creates - either in the sound of the word or in its meaning. Here is the list of flavors you'll find:

-Licorice
-Apple
-Ketchup 
-Strawberry
-Vanilla
-Grape 
-Coconut 
-Tangerine 
-Punch 
-Cola 
-Root Beer 
-Orange 
-Cinnamon 
-Honey 
-Lime 
 There is one jellybean flavor that Blob detests: KETCHUP! In fact, if he accidentally ate one, he'd be petrified. 

* Collector's corner Throughout your adventures, both on earth and in Blobolonia, you'll be constantly collecting things. Treasures and diamonds to raise your money stash. Jellybean bags to increase your jellybean stash. Vitamins to operate your VitaBlaster. And peppermints for a special bonus.
