Bulb Boy is his best without his body.The color combination may recall the days of the original Game Boy and Virtual Boy, but it also brings with it the headaches caused by both. It’s a shame then that everything is washed in green or red hues. In many ways, it feels like an ode to Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim, and Hot Topic. Although its obsession with bodily excretions becomes somewhat intolerable, the game generally manages to be unsettling, disgusting, and cute simultaneously. Bulb Boy is absolutely congested with style and character.Apart from the flashbacks, you’re never quite safe. For instance, a memory of a picnic segues into a kitchen fight with a gigantic roasted chicken. These memories, in turn, foreshadow the beasts you will encounter next. To break up the horror sections, Bulb Boy includes flashbacks to happier times between our protagonist and his family. That said, checkpoints are plentiful, so if you get your kicks from killing lightbulbs, you won’t be punished too harshly. Unlike Little Nightmares, death doesn’t chase you down, but if you’re not mindful of the monsters, you may just saunter up to their jaws. Like his human counterparts, our hero dies when eaten, severely battered, or hollowed out by parasitic worms. Our young lightbulb therefore must brave horrors and dangers in order to regain his peaceful life.Įach chapter focuses on a single room/area, and Bulb Boy must collect and use items to slay enemies or progress past a room. This evil has not only filled his home with murderous ghoulies but has kidnapped both his grandfather and his flying dogball. The titular character awakes in the middle of the night to discover some malignant force has infected and warped his house. It’s just a generally disappointing game.īulb Boy is your standard point-and-click adventure involving lightbulbs and copious amounts of snot and poop.
This second playthrough reminded me that I don’t dislike this vividly green adventure. Fortunately, the game is short and simplistic, so I was able to breeze through it. These simple memories don’t make for a great review, so I ventured through Bulb Boy again to reacclimate myself. After a year since my initial playthrough, I could only remember it was short, simplistic, and generally disappointing. Unless I’m consistently revisiting the game, even stellar titles like Gorogoa and Sonic Mania fade from memory like a pink skirt’s color when mistakenly washed with bleach.īulb Boy is a wholly forgettable game. Lately, it’s reminded me that my recollection sucks. This system has worked for the first eight months or so of my website. In my Mario + Rabbids review, I mentioned how I randomly select my next review instead of reviewing my games chronologically because I fear long-term commitment. In my review policy, I claimed I provide more accurate reviews because I won’t write about a game until after I beat it. How Many Bulb Boy Downloads Does It Take to Screw a Person?
