About de Blob: Revolution

In de Blob: Revolution, the citizens of Prisma City are trapped
as Graydians by the evil I.N.K.T. Corporation. As de Blob, players must
draw or tap the screen in order to help free these Graydians by finding
the best possible route within the maze of each building. There are
three types of buildings in the game that players can choose from,
including the Rescue Building, where players try to free as many
Graydians as possible with no time limit and no threat from the I.N.K.T.
Corporation; the Speed Rescue Building, where players aim to free the
Graydians and receive a bonus for rescuing them quickly; and the
I.N.K.T. Chase Building, where players have a limited time to attempt to
free the Graydians before the I.N.K.T. agents enter the property and
seize de Blob. Players can unlock new game features as well by
increasing their ranking in three ways: A green ranking is awarded for
freeing most of the Graydians in a particular maze; a blue ranking is
given for rapidly freeing the Graydians; and, an orange ranking is
awarded for freeing the Graydians in the buildings with the more
challenging mazes.
