It's fast! It's loud! It's weird as hell! Teenage Blob is not your average video game. A hybrid split release from Cape Town "game-band" [url=https://www.teamlazerbeam.com/]Team Lazerbeam[/url] and Philly "music-band" [url=https://thesuperweaks.bandcamp.com/]The Superweaks[/url], Teenage Blob is a truly unique beast.

How the heck does this thing play? What're each of the tracks about? What kind of weirdos would make something like this? We're here to answer these questions, and offering future blobs a glimpse of what they can expect from Teenage Blob! [previewyoutube=fUFaNIL4e_4;full][/previewyoutube] [u][b] Who the heck are you folks?![/b][/u] We're a group of friends from opposite ends of the world! From our respective cities, we're a pair of bands that live to make art that's immediate, accessible and fun while being deeply heartfelt and personal at the same time. [b]Hi, from Team Lazerbeam! [/b] Out of Cape Town, South Africa! We’re a 3-piece game-band that create short, weird, cute games. Our past releases include the underground hits Wrestling With Emotions and Snow Cones 1 & 2. We've spent the past 5 years making lovingly crafted, experiences that bring joy & subvert expectations. [b]Meet our besties, The Superweaks![/b] From Philladelphia USA, The Superweaks are a shapeshifting supergroup, led by the songwriting, producing, hard-rocking polymaths Chris Baglivo & Evan Bernard. Touring & recording with a rotating cast of friends from other bands, the power-pop power-duo, write sweet songs about sad stuff.

It’s a collaborative release featuring songs by two or more bands. Typically each band takes a side of the record/tape, although some splits have seen bands alternating between tracks, remixing/ covering each other’s songs, or even joining forces to record new ones. [u][b] How Does Teenage Blob Work?[/b][/u] As a hybrid game/ music release, picking up Teenage Blob gets you a collection of 6 songs, and 6 games. The songs come as individual high quality audio files, and the games are wrapped up into a larger meta-game, creating a single, non-linear, playable experience. Each “track” in Teenage Blob is a series of genre-hopping mini-games, perfectly timed to their corresponding song! All six of the tracks combined tell a single story of bands, butts and bootleg battle toads!

From start to finish you'll be presented with radically different mechanics and systems, designed to encourage player expression, and provide a steady stream of opportunities for righteous wins or hilarious mishaps.
