Blender Bros is a action-packed adventure game set in a world where humans and Animalmen coexist. The peaceful balance is threatened by the Zooligans, an anti-human group seeking to destroy humanity and claim the galaxy for themselves. It's up to Blender, the leader of the Cosmo Keepers, to save the day using his unique abilities and the powers of the Mini Bros.
The gameplay in Blender Bros is diverse and exciting, featuring platform jumping, boss battles, and racing modes. Players can control Blender as he floats around levels using his large ears, whacks enemies with a hammer, and climbs ropes or pogo-hops across obstacles. Levels require players to collect keys to prevent the world from exploding.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-platformer, players control Blender, a heroic dog-animalman tasked with restoring universal peace against the intergalactic Zooligan gang. As the Cosmo Keepers support your mission, you navigate through diverse planetary levels, solving environmental puzzles and battling unique hybrid bosses to liberate worlds from Buffer-Kong's tyranny.
Story
Lore
After the population of animalmen surpassed humans, an anti-human gang called the Zooligans emerged to fight against them. The leader of the Zooligans was Buffer-Kong, a cross-animalman created by humans.
Humans viewed this as a crisis and consulted with peaceful animalmen. They agreed to establish the Cosmo Keepers to fight the Zooligans and restore peace to the universe.

ZOOLIGANS VS. COSMO KEEPERS
A few hundred years have passed since human beings settled their lives in the Universe. Humans carried out the Animalman Project to control the population of human beings and animals. They thought that with the execution of the project, human beings and animalmen could help each other to coexist peacefully.
SELECT STAGE
This is the departure point to each planet and level. You can also check on the condition of each planet here.
