De Blob Wiki

Uptown is the second district of Chroma City and the second level of de Blob. It is the first introduction to the Inky, Leechbots, the INKT Police Station, as well as the first meeting between Blob and Bif. Another new mechanic included is the Z-Jump, able to take Blob to areas hard to reach by normal routes.

Story

After liberating Last Resort from INKT, the Colour Underground head to Uptown in order to target the major landmark in the area: the INKT Propaganda Centre. Once a entertainment district, INKT now run it as their financial and banking sector.

With colour being detected in the previous area, the corporation decided to use Inkies to patrol the streets of Chroma City. Even though they stepped up the security in this district, the defence was relatively light. The Propaganda Centre was defended by a small patrol of Leechbots within a walled - off section, separated from the rest of East Uptown.

Sectors in Uptown

There are three sectors in this area. The Propaganda Center acts as its own sector due to a sector gate.

Sector 1: West Uptown:

Sector 1 has three separate areas: the docks, the upper entertainment and a few low - lying islands near the foundations of the Uptown Bridge and Statue of Inky.

Uptown Docks:

The docks has some small shops and a vehicle with some megaphones near the ramp. It's blocked by a fence to the right and cliffs to the left. About seven INKT Patrol boats are stationed at the docks with two sailboats in the background. There is a small sand hill near the propaganda vehicle and another near the shop at the back corner.

Entertainment Level:

The main area of Sector 1. Here, the buildings vary from small to tall and blocks of buildings used to serve different purposes. For example, the long block of buildings opposite the INKT Tax Office used to have the latest street fashion; the block next to the propaganda tower in the park was a collection of coffee shops and beauty salons. Within said park, there is also the Bank of INKT, with buildings to its side, trees adjacent to the park and a fountain (containing a transformation engine) in the centre. East of the park is where the majority of the tall blocks are, towering with billboards over the park. Cliffs and more tall buildings surround the north and east. Another propaganda tower is next to the wall in the west opposite the block formerly containing music bars and dance halls. Next to it, there is a dual lane highway coming from a tunnel and heading towards the bridge.

In total, there are two Office landmarks and two propaganda towers in this sector.

Uptown Bridge (West) & Statue Foundations:

There's not much here except for some small islands and beached sailboats.

Sector 2: Bridge and East Uptown:

Uptown Bridge is a arch bridge connecting both parks of Uptown together and has a transformation engine on the deck. To the left and just before the gate, the Statue of Inky (based on the Statue of Liberty in New York) stands, symbolising INKT dominance in Chroma City. Underneath the bridge there are some islands and platforms, with an Z-jump to get back up onto the deck. Three more jumps are on the bridge deck; one near the gate (acts as a tutorial, and is also the one that takes Blob to the highest point on the level), another to a small platform on one of the eastern anchors, and the last one leads to the Police Station. The elevated highway then curves south, before going down and into another tunnel.

The western half is dominated by tall towers across East Uptown and all across the south until the first propaganda tower. From there, it's just blocks of small buildings - some were camping stores and some were simply covered in darkness by the highway. The western and northern sections have a drop to the waters so caution is advised. As the highways curves to the right, the Police Station for Uptown is just over it with the roads here surrounding the station. In front of the station is a transformation engine for a park. In the north, there is the INKT Stock Market, formerly a theatre, with a fountain in front and in the back as well. Another block of buildings and there is the final propaganda tower in this level, being guarded by Inkies.

In total, there are two propaganda towers, one office, and one police station.

Sector 3: INKT Propaganda Center

The final sector just has the major landmark and introduces the Leechbots. The exit pool is at the back surrounded by cliffs.
