I will remember this game and especially Bulb Boy as a character till end of my life. Other two abilities if we can call it like that is: he is his own source of light and he can survive any electrical shocks. Without this ability, the Bulb Boy would be just a normal character/hero in the game, even though he is very funny, adorable, nice, without that ability he would be boring. Anna had telekinesis powers and that really changed the gameplay and pace of the game, Bulb Boy doesn’t have telekinesis, but he has ability to unscrew his head and throw it or jump on other objects, well mainly on other bodies: knight armor, fish or just move by rolling your head. Ability of the Bulb Boy made solving puzzles certainly easier and I must compare abilities of the Bulb Boy with Anna from Anna’s Quest. In two hours you can’t really solve so many puzzles, maybe if they made it harder, maybe I would played this game a little bit more. I’ve managed to finish the game in 112 minutes, so under the two hours. Problems with them are that there aren’t many of them and most of them are very easy, generally speaking, they are easy to solve. There are no riddles in this game, but puzzles, yeah. The most important element in adventure games is the story and on the second place are puzzles and riddles. One interesting fact about adventure games is that Anna’s Quest was my first review for this website since the reactivation of the PCGN. Later I saw some gameplay video and I said to myself: “I need to try this game, no matter that I don’t like this type of games so much,” and I am glad that I tried it and played it. To be straight and honest with you guys I don’t fancy this genre and I rarely play adventure games, but this game got my interest first of all, because of the amazing graphics, well the art style to be more accurate. Bulb Boy is a horror point and click adventure game. As you can see, the game’s story is pretty much standard as in other hundred or thousand games. At the same time you wake up from the nightmare and you hear how your grandfather is screaming, shouting. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, black sphere (the shadows) enter your house and takeaway your grandfather. You are the Bulb Boy and you are living in a house with your grandfather in a peaceful life. Maybe we can say in the end that story is very special, but only, because of the way how it’s been told. The story of the game isn’t anything special (standard story), but the way how is the game telling you and how the game is leading you through the story and the game itself is just superb and beautiful. Don’t think that this game is perfect, but it’s a real example of what can do one indie developer with (probably) small budget. Such an amazing and beautiful game, but yet, such a short game.Īt the same time I am very happy, satisfied and very sad, because I’ve never thought I would be playing game like this. Then you ask me why? Well, when someone says that sentence, by that he means that all good or beautiful things are short and they will end sooner or later, but they mostly last very short. If someone ask me how would you describe Bulb Boy in one sentence, my answer would be: “All good/beautiful things comes to an end”.
