This was an old NES game that you either loved or hated. I loved it, simply because it was one of the stupidest premises I've ever seen.

You play the game as a boy with a pet (alien?) blob that you feed jelly beans. Whenever you give it a jelly bean, it changes shape. Different flavors do different things, like cinnamon, I think, made it into a flamethrower. I know some people who still have all the flavors' purposes memorized. XD

It was also one of the hardest games in the world, which was why people would hate it. You had to guess when to use certain jelly beans, and there'd be points where nothing at all would seem to work. Farthest I've seen anyone get was to a point where there were red things dropping off of a conveyor belt. If they touched you, you died. Tried just about everything and it didn't work.

Discuss. :D

Yeah I liked that game. I liked giving the blob then beans to turn into a rocket ship. I thought it was hard and hilarious. I still have it too.

Blank space is good :)

I think I played this! I don't remember when though.

I hate guessing the flavours

Hehehe Coconut=Coconut

I havn't gotten very far, I have no idea where far is, I got on the rocket, went left 20-30 screens, came to a part I couldn't get by, don't know what though...

Was it where there were all those (I think) red enemies that moved in different directions? Some'd just go up and down, some'd do more complex things. For those, you just turn the blob into a coconut and roll it 'til you find a blank screen. Then you stop and whistle him back. All the enemies'll be gone then. <3s.

You can roll the Coconut? And yes that might be the place. I can't figure out what half of the powers actually DO. I know what they are, but not how to use them...

I don't have the game myself (Gotta go yard sale shopping in the spring, assuming I've some cash by then), so I don't know how you make it roll, but you can. Aren't too many buttons, so I'd say you can figure it out. Same goes to all the other flavors. :D Also, some things, like the hole, only work in certain places. So if it's not working in one place, it might work elsewhere.

Ah, okay then.
