de Blob was developed by Blue Tongue for the Wii and a cancelled version for the Nintendo DS was being made by the now-shut down developer Helixe, whose former employees have since formed DoubleTap Games. Both were published by THQ. The game was originally scheduled for a February 2008 release, but it was delayed and then released on September 22, 2008 for the Wii. A version of the game for iOS was released on July 8, 2008. THQ has also released a Windows Phone 7 version of de Blob.
