Which prompts have you tried? I have no idea which prompts to even input to get unrecognizable blobs intentionally.
Spent all evening yesterday having fun as me and my friends tried all sorts of inputs, including pretty specific/obscure ones (but we also did plenty of rather vague and generic inputs as well). Not even once we got unrecognizable blobs. Sometimes we got results that were more on the van gogh side rather than the realism side, but not even once we got something that was unrecognizable.
Even without knowing the prompt, you could tell "oh this looks like a human dressed in a suit with a weird body shape, as he is standing bent over, with a giant person in a dark dress from behind a desk across, everyone is from the waist up, all looking like a very stylized drawing", despite the prompt itself being something like "courtroom sketch of a man getting sued".
To anyone who wants to see something I personally found extremely interesting, try a prompt like "Google streetview of XYZ", with XYZ being something absolutely difficult to even imagine visually or vague, like "Godzilla" or "statue".
I tried "a boy standing in front of a house", then "a girl standing in front of a house". Both results would make good surrealist paintings, but they weren't even close to what I would expect from the regular DALL-E images I've seen.
Oh, if you were expecting something like the images produced by the original DALL-E, then I totally agree with you, DALL-E Mini doesn't get even close to that level.
My guess is that it is be due to the combination of it being a "DALL-E Lite" model overall and (most significantly) only running for ~150 iterations max (using the website linked in the OP). ~150 iterations is way too few iterations to get something approaching the type of images you've seen from the original DALL-E
