Dec. 2024

This was surprisingly a fun game has goods visuals, fun gameplay and very unique enemies.

Oct. 2024

Bulb Boy is a cute and short point n' click adventure. The art style is fun and it has a very warm story that can be interpreted in multiple ways. The horror aspect is very light and the difficulty is very easy but it fits the game really well. I loved it!

Oct. 2024

Amazing art, fun puzzles, a bit on the gross side of the horror/halloween spirit but in a good way and just a fun ride in general. The only downsides to this game i'd say is a few puzzles just seem like time wasters where you're waiting to repeat a same action but they don't take up the majority of the game thankfully. After beating it, what I wanted most was what to see what this creator does next. I felt like I wanted more and hoped they'd continue to not only make more games but ones a bit longer and with puzzles a little less time-wasty.

July 2024

Such a twisted, peculiar little game that has sounds and imagery that will stick with you long after you're done with the game. There's just some highly inspiring art being displayed here and the dark, almost unhinged 90s cartoons aesthetic is truly like something out of Cartoon Network's "What a Cartoon Show". On a side note, Bulb Boy very much reminds me of another oddity from the late 90s which I really was fond of called "Nightmare Ned". That interactive kids title was also like a 90s cartoon with childish aesthetics but also very dark undertones and was a very fascinating experience for its time. All in all, if you are into a more simplistic and short point and click game with a very amusing presentation that you will probably remember for a while then I very much recommend Bulb Boy. This could be a very cool game to play with your kid.

March 2024

I enjoyed the overall vibe they were going for, it's kind of like if adventure time was horror. Overall enjoyable and I'm not usually a big fan of point and click adventures.
