For the level from de Blob 2 (DS), see Chroma City (level).
Chroma City is the main setting for de Blob and certain levels in de Blob 2 (DS) and is one of the most colourful cities on Raydia.
de Blob[]
When the INKT Corporation invaded Raydia, it's leader Comrade Black made Chroma City his hub for local industry and main area for the Inky armies. He also made a section of the city the spot for the construction of the Ministry Of Ink. The city was completely drained of colour by the corporation with its Leechbots, and its waters were polluted with ink. The Raydian citizens were converted into Graydian slaves.
When Blob saw what the Inkies were doing to the city he sprung into action and with the help of the Colour Underground slowly took back the city. Cornered at the Ministry, Comrade Black ordered his troops to load the stolen colour onto his spaceship and took off. Blob managed to sneak onboard and released the silos containing the stolen colour that fell back onto Raydia. Blob then battled Comrade Black's robot and defeated it. He activated one final Transformation Engine that blew up the ship with an explosion of colour and converted Chroma City and Raydia back into a colourful place. Chroma City celebrated long into the night it's victory against the INKT Corporation.
de Blob 2 (DS)[]
Trouble came to Chroma City once more, this time in the form of the mutated Inky 'De Blot'. Once again Chroma City was bleached and Inky soldiers imprisoned the citizens, including the city's Mayor. Blot planned on launching and blowing up a rocket full of ink over Chroma City. However Blob sabotaged the rocket by filling it up with colour energy instead. He then defeated Blot, and whilst he was knocked out, tied Blot up to his own rocket. The rocket takes off and blows up (destroying De Blot with it) and rains down colour energy onto the city.
Districts within Chroma City[]
- Last Resort: The first district visited by Blob. In this place there is a hotel district and the Paintbot Transmitter, the first major landmark of the game.
- Uptown : This part has one big landmark at the end, but the main one seems to be the Uptown Bridge. Next to it there is the Statue of Inky. This place is marked by the good quality music.
- Downtown: This is where Chroma City Hall is located. This place has got a sport theme on landmarks, squares, etc.
- Chroma Dam : This district became very polluted with ink by the Inkies. Before this, the dam had many giant fish, and was the powerhouse for the city.
- Guggentraz Island: The home of many of Chroma City's artists. The Art Gallery was converted into a prison to house these artists.
- The Docklands: Chroma City's port, where Black was sending colour to his ship docked out on the lake. The major landmark here, the Uplink Tower, transmitted messages to Black's HQ about the colour operation.
- Hanging Gardens: Sacred home of the Raydians. The main landmark here is a huge hanging garden that has been converted into an Ink Treatment Plant, well defended by INKT.
- Chroma City Fun Park: Raydians used to have fun, but INKT made it into a factory and used its attraction to harvest ink from the sadness of graydians.
- Ministry of Ink: INKT's HQ in the city. A fortress well - defended by troops and traps. The ministry itself has a forcefield generator.
- Lake Raydia: A huge lake in the centre of the city where INKT had parked its spaceship before the Comrade ordered his troops to retreat. The spaceship was equipped with silos that contained the city's stolen colour. Blob boarded the ship here and destroyed the ship with the final transform engine after defeating Comrade Black.
- Chroma Ghetto: This area of the city is only seen in De Blob 2 (DS) and is split into five different areas.
Trivia[]
