Bloobs Adventure is an idle game with a difference, bringing together adventuring and RPG styled mechanics into a more casual game. Idle games don't often have you do all that much, which is why Bloobs Adventure is a little bit more interesting with a whole world to explore.
More about it: "Watch on as you command your Bloob to seamlessly navigate his way around a sprawling, ever-expanding world automatically. Choose which skills to train, items to create, and enemies to defeat. Push your and your Bloob's skills farther, and become the most powerful force in the the world. Forge your own path, and your own equipment on your way to conquer every boss that stands in your way. Do it on your time, because after all, Bloob will do the hard work for you."

They make a colorful pixel-art game in which you play a magic blob, and the first adjective that comes to their mind about it is "immersive" ?On hot days like these, I can very much relate to feeling like a blob.

You're right, "immersive" means that you can picture yourself as being the character you're playing. Things that would help me achieve that are, for example :
- a humanoid character (or an animal of a species I'm familiar with, like Stray, or yes, even you, Goat Simulator)
- a first or third person view
- a world that is similar to Earth, or similar to an SF or fantasy universe I'm familiar with
- graphics that are somewhat realistic
- a story in which the character experiences problems or events I've lived or at least heard about
I'm not saying I need all these criteria to find a game immersive, far from it actually. But this game matches none !
So I'm back to my initial conclusion : to find this game immersive requires either a lot of imagination, or a lot of drugs.

I don't think that's the only reasonable way to construe "immersive". Arguably, "immersive" could also mean the game gives an experience that can absorb you for some time in the game world, making you forget the outside world. This might not require picturing yourself as the character. So for instance, if a game has a good deal of content and texture that interests you, along with play that engages you, you could become "immersed" in the game even if there is no "character you're playing". I find Civilization immersive, but not because I'm picturing myself as being Rome.To be fair, "immersive" doesn't equate to "realistic"; Though I'm not sure if this particular game would provide that for me personally (I'm not into RPGs), something fantastical and whimsical can easily be immersive and absorbing.
