Familiar territory.

Anyone even remotely familiar with game franchises like Puyo Pop and Tetris will feel right at home with Raining Blobs. It’s a puzzle game in which you need to match up coloured globules that fall down the screen in order to wipe them from the board, scoring combos and points in the process. That’s more or less all there is to it.

This means that you can effectively build up potential combos by ensuring the starred blobs remain separate, before eventually clearing the whole bunch in one fell swoop.
