Blip and Blop

Action

Overview

Blip and Blop delivers chaotic 2D shooter fun with a delightfully irreverent twist, pitting players against parodies of beloved childhood icons in explosive battles. This co-op enabled romp earns consistent praise for its over-the-top action and dark humor, though its punishing difficulty curve and technical limitations create noticeable friction. The core experience shines brightest when played with a partner, transforming frustration into shared triumph against waves of whimsical foes.

Go around shooting smurfs, carebares, and other "childish" characters.

Satirical Carnage That Hits the Mark

The game's greatest strength lies in its audacious premise and execution. Players blast through colorful levels filled with twisted versions of nostalgic characters, creating a darkly humorous contrast between cutesy visuals and visceral violence. Blood splatters, bodies fly, and explosions paint the screen in a satisfying ballet of destruction that never takes itself seriously. This deliberate absurdity becomes a consistent source of entertainment, especially during co-op sessions where coordinated attacks against rainbow-colored foes create memorable moments. The cathartic release of mowing down saccharine enemies with high-tech weaponry strikes a perfect balance between shock value and genuine fun.

Brutal Challenge Demands Perfect Coordination

Where Blip and Blop stumbles is in its relentless difficulty. The challenge frequently crosses from exhilarating to exhausting, with sparse checkpoints and limited recovery options. Multiple reviewers specifically call out the need for more health pickups, extra lives, or "cowbombs" (presumably a powerful explosive) to alleviate punishing sections. This becomes especially apparent during solo play, where the absence of a partner turns later levels into grueling endurance tests. While the tough-as-nails approach will satisfy masochistic players, it creates accessibility barriers that prevent the chaotic fun from reaching its full potential.

They should have thrown in some 1ups and/or more cow-bombs.

Weapon Variety and Technical Constraints

The arsenal offers six distinct firearms ranging from standard shotguns to futuristic energy weapons, providing tactical diversity during firefights. However, this selection feels insufficient against the game's escalating challenges, with players craving more tools to experiment with. Technically, the presentation shows its limitations through occasionally choppy character animations and background elements. These visual hiccups don't ruin the experience but remind players they're engaging with a modest production rather than a polished AAA title. The substantial download size also gets mentioned, though most agree the content justifies the wait.

Cooperative Chemistry Saves the Day

Blip and Blop truly finds its rhythm in two-player mode. The shared struggle against overwhelming odds transforms frustration into camaraderie, with coordinated tactics and revives creating emergent storytelling moments. Having a partner mitigates some difficulty spikes through clever teamwork, making the chaos more manageable and enjoyable. This social dimension elevates the experience beyond its technical limitations, creating the kind of laugh-filled, controller-gripping sessions that define great couch co-op games. It's here that the game's personality shines brightest, turning what could be a repetitive shooter into a shared adventure.

Blip and Blop is a great 2D shooter game. Along your adventure you will come accross some weird creatures you will have to kill, as _well as some creatures that resemble other well known characters. There are six weapons available, from a simple shotgun to some hi tech weaponry. This game can be played as a single or 2 player game. Although this is a rather big download, it is highly recommended.

The problems are: 1) The difficulty is a... "female dog" 2) The graphics are fair but not great - choppiness in the characters and the backround. Rating overall is a 8.5 out of 10.

Blip and Blop is a great game, with a good challange and fun gameplay. Go around shooting smurfs, carebares, and other "childish" characters. Though the gameplay is violent (blood, carnage, corpses, and others more easy seen, not said), that's what makes it fun. Not really recommended for those below teen because of what is said above and for language. What I dislike about the game is that there are not enough weapons to get and the challange is really hard. There should be more health or more lives or more cowbombs. If you're up for a good challange, grab a friend and start fragging!
