Teenage Blob
A downloadable split album for Windows and macOS
Half game. Half album. All awesome! A colourful art-punk adventure towards the best night of your life in a unique split release from Team Lazerbeam and The Superweaks!
The Superweaks recorded six new songs. Team Lazerbeam made six new games. We tied everything together into one tale of bands, butts and bootleg battlet0adz.
You’re an amorphous teen and you’re about to see your favourite band, tonight is going to be the greatest night of your life! There’s just one problem: before the gig you want to buy some new boots, and before you can do that you’re gonna need to work your butt off!
- A unique music/ game hybrid!
- 6 radical Superweaks songs & 6 genre-busting Team Lazerbeam games!
- Combines elements of dating sims, RPGs, rhythm games & arcade classics!
- Hand-crafted with love and teenage punk rock dreams
PLEASE NOTE: Just like an EP, this is a short game that takes about [30 minutes] to finish but like any good album, can be enjoyed again.
Track List:
1 New Year: Melt out of bed, pull yourself into whatever solid form you can muster and craft your unique rebellious look. Will you sass your parents or be a respectful teen?
2 Paperperson: Grab your bike and hit the streets, it’s time to deliver some slammin’ sandwiches! Your boss doesn’t want you to feed the neighborhood dogs, but they’re so damn cute!
3 Guitar Zero: Head to the mall, put on your dorky uniform and sell some guitars! Rock out and stay in time, just ignore the cool mallrats making fun of you.
4 Tony Dork: Slip into your frogsuit and get ready to shred! Chain tricks, clear gaps and collect bananas! Only YOU can cheer people up with the power of high fives.
5 Ghoststep: You’ve got your boots and you made it to the gig! Enjoy crowd-surfing in “the second most realistic moshing simulator ever made”!
6 The Deepest Blues: Return home after the greatest night of your life, fall asleep and dream.
Hold Up, What’s a Split?
The split album is a long running DIY indie/punk tradition, 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.

Hi, I just finished going through it...OMG this is just a brilliant and unique idea! I don't know if you were the first doing this kind of split release but definitely you shouldn't be the last! Infinite thumbs up!!!
Thanks so much for this comment. It really means so much hearing from people that Blob resonated with. And from On3 Ey3d W1lly now?! Honored to have a legendary pirate join the Blob Mob. Thanks again!
Even if not everything here was necessarily my kind of game, I still really enjoyed my time with this one and thought it was quite a good paring.
Hi! Thanks so much for playing, and for taking the time to leave a comment. Glad to hear you had a good time with our Blob!
Fun Game overall and worth the price of admission
Thanks for getting your blob on!
This is the most rad game I have played in years
Ah, thanks so much for this comment! So glad to hear that!
I love this game so much, the album has been on repeat ever since I played. WOW
Hey! Thank you so much for this message! Means so much to us to know our Blob was enjoyed by cool people!
I'm interested in buying the limited edition, but I'm wondering. Do you guys ship worldwide? And if that's the case, how much extra money would I have to pay for delivery outside the U.S.?
Hi! Thanks so much for the interest in becoming an Ultimate Blob!
We totally can ship outside the US. Happy to say Ultimate Editions have gone out to people in a list of countries including Japan, The UK, Poland, Mexico, Philipines and France.
Are you on twitter or Discord? Wanna link up with us on there and we can find out where you are and if there would be any extra shipping costs to get you your blob?

This is honestly my favourite game i played in the last five years, the sheer amount of love, passion, and creativity that is put into this short but powerfull experience is insane!
Playing this game brought me back to mundane memories of happiness throughout my life, moments that i don't think of a lot but moments of pure happiness! I absolutely adored every last second of this game and i know i will pick it up in a couple days and enjoy it just as much!
Thank you guys so much for making this, it means a lot to me!
(PS: Can't wait to buy the record when i get my salary! <3)
Tiiiim! Sorry for the very late reply, but just wanna say thank you so very much for playing, and for your incredibly kind words!

Hi SAQ!
Thanks so much for taking the time to pass on this encouraging comment - we really appreciate it!
First, I was able to experience the joys of true love (and birthing of 17 children) through Wrestling With your Emotions. And now, I can finally understand what it's like to leave the house and get a job! What a wonderful time. (I also learned what it's like to have a spiritual awakening mid-recording, so thank you for giving me this incredible moment in time, captured forever) :{) You do good stuff.
Haha! Best comment for the best video!
We just sent you our sincerest thanks and high fives on youtube. You're awesome - please play all our games forever!
Don't gotta tell me twice! ;{D
Got a copy a couple of weeks ago and LOVED IT! Decided to buy it today for a friend for his brithday. Highly recommend, also these are awesome lads and buy and play their other games.
Abiiiiiii! Thank you so very much! You're too awesome!
