Awards are trophies that are collected by painting and completing missions. They are more prevalent in de Blob more than de Blob 2. In the first game, there are a total of 10 awards per level. Acquiring these awards can also give you trophies on your console.
List of Awards in de Blob[]
There are a total of 100 awards achievable in de Blob (10 levels has 10 awards)
% Painted:[]
This is simply for painting everything in a level. The game will notify you when you reach 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. In most levels, this is easy to achieve as you can head back to all the other sectors. However, for levels 9 and 10 (i.e. Ministry of Ink and Lake Raydia respectively), it quickly becomes the most difficult award to achieve - simply because of no - backtracking.
Challenges:[]
Dotted around the levels are Colour Underground quests. These can range from racing between two points, painting certain blocks or defeating Inkies. Completing some quests unlocks another set of quests for you to complete. When completed, it rewards you with colour energy and time.
Time:[]
This award requires you to complete the level (by leaving through the exit pool; excluding Lake Raydia) in a certain amount of time. It is recommended to do this on a second playthrough of a level so you know the layout already and can complete it quickly.
Styles:[]
Scattered throughout a level, each one adds a new design to every building you paint. Some can be hidden, and some are easy to see.
Trees:[]
Paint all the trees in a level. They are not shown on the compass, so make sure to check everywhere for these. Transformation Engines can also paint some trees, provided that they are within range.
Landmarks:[]
Transform all the landmarks within a level. With the exception of the water pump protecting the Ministry of Ink, the colour silos and ship engines in Lake Raydia, they are always accompanied by a challenge from the Professor.
Billboards:[]
Paint all the billboards in a level. Some are part of a quest, while most are done through free roam. They can be found on buildings or walls.
Transforms:[]
Raise enough colour energy to unlock these engines. They can paint trees and clear hazards within its range.
Raydians:[]
Paint a block to release eight Graydians. Liberate each group to get a time pickup. Some can be spotted individually or in ships. Like trees, they do not appear on the compass, so look everywhere!
Blimp:[]
Excluding Lake Raydia, the Blimp is unlocked by activating a particular transformation engine in each level. The Blimp follows a pre-determined course in every level - so if you miss it once, just wait for it to come back.

List of Awards in de Blob 2[]
Unlike de Blob, the sequel only has three awards per level. However, each are ranked - meaning that you can get either Bronze, Silver, or Gold.
Environment[]
This is simply achieved by painting all the trees in the level. Once the main and bonus quests are done, use your compass to find the rest.
Clean Up[]
Smash and/or use Charge Attack to destroy crates and anything else destructible. Compass does not work when you're in landmarks or underground; so you would need to be on the lookout.
Liberation[]
Rescue all of the Graydians found in the levels. Again, you can use the compass when you've accomplished all of the quests. Prismans do not count towards the Liberation Award. Make sure to look everywhere as well.
