As if there wasn't already a broad selection of ace platformers on the DS, there could be another on the way soon. To date, South Peak Interactive's Mr. Slime has only received a release in Germany, but this inventive little platform game looks to be heading for North America also, after GameStop listed it for a release on April 1st.
In the title, players negotiate levels by grabbing and stretching the eponymous hero's arms, so that he can grab onto conveniently placed dots that litter the environments. The above video made us feel warm and fuzzy for three reasons:
- Mr. Slime seems to be quite like a combination of Lemmings and LocoRoco.
- Plainly, this game would only be possible on the DS.
- History shows that blob-centric games almost always = win. Just look at the evidence. A Boy and His Blob? de Blob? The aforementioned LocoRoco? Win, win, win.

Just look at the evidence upon the DS itself: Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime. Granted, it's not a platformer per se, but it's about a blob and it's = win.

Does that mean World of Goo for the Wii will = win too? Or does the game have to actually have the word "blob" in it's title?

It will indeed, TD! We don't discriminate when it comes to game-based blobs!
