### 5/5 — Creative/inventive

*2016-09-12, version 1.12*

Love the gameplay, puzzles, art direction. Sort of a mix between a point-and-click and a platformer (but clever). Get it if you like machinarium, unmechanical.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2016-08-08, version 1.11*

Love the weird look and feel, even weirder storyline, and of course all the shout outs to 80s horror flicks!

### 5/5 — I want more!

*2016-08-08, version 1.12*

Bulb Boy is my favorite! I love the creepy monsters and the game play, graphics were awesome! Please make another game soon guys!

### 5/5 — Awesome game but...

### 4/5 — Fine work, but a bit too short.

*2016-07-27, version 1.11*

I fairly enjoyed the game. It was overall creative and relaxing to play through. I just wish that the game would offer more play time. I purchased it this morning, and it was done before lunch..

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2016-07-27, version 1.11*

### 1/5 — THIS GAME GLITCHES SO MUCH

*2018-05-28, version 1.14*

I CANT GET PASE THE UNDER WATER PART BECAUSE IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO MANEUVER ANYWHERE IVE SPENT AT LEAST 2 HOURS TRYING TO GET IT TO WORK WITH NO LUCK DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A BROKEN GAME!!!

### 1/5 — Underwater bug

*2017-11-20, version 1.14*

I would love to finish the game I just bought, but there is a bug once you reach the underwater level. The back pack won't open when I try to give the snail to the eel to fry it. Please fix this...

### 1/5 — Freezes and crashes

*2017-04-13, version 1.14*

When in the belly of the monster (the red zone), going in for the fourth time you get huge freezes (30 seconds or so) and when you get to the black kidney thing it crashes. My save is right there so I can't get in the game anymore. 

iPad Air 2 here

### 1/5 — Sorry I bought it

*2016-08-18, version 1.12*

This was one of the lamest games I've ever played.  Whoever made this game has a deep obsession with feces and smoking.

### 2/5 — Freezing?!

*2018-06-20, version 1.14*

Freezing on iPad Pro?! Lame

### 3/5 — Fun Game but crashes

*2016-07-31, version 1.11*

I can't finish this game because it is crashing near the end. Otherwise, very fun and unique. Will write a better review if I can ever finish the game.

### 4/5 — 0.o

*2018-03-11, version 1.14*

o.0

### 4/5 — A creepy distraction

*2016-12-30, version 1.14*

I dig this game.... its skewed, a twisted angle. I feel for
Bulb Boy.

### 4/5 — Lags

*2016-08-27, version 1.12*

I love this game but right as I was about to beat the game it threw me off and won't let me back on please please fix it

### 4/5 — A bit too short way too easy

*2016-07-29, version 1.11*

This is a great game but it was over way too quick and most of it was too easy. I love the creepy art, story, and animations etc. it would be nice to be able to replay the whole game afterwards instead of just the "bosses" (at the end, you can find a book in the cabinet on the left that allows you to replay previous parts of the game) overall this is a great title. I just would like to see more.

### 5/5 — BuLb bOY

*2020-02-02, version 1.2*

Really scary game but didn’t give me nightmares lol (I wonder why it didn’t crash on me?)

### 5/5 — Such An Awesome Game

*2019-11-13, version 1.2*

Bulb Boy, is easily one of my all-time favorite iOS games. The amount of creativity and talent that you see on display here is just wonderful I think. I really love the artwork so much, the story is creepy and fun and I think they did such a superb job on the score and sound design as well.

I bought this game when it first came out forever ago and I still enjoy playing it to this day. I only wish that this developer would update the game with some new stories or also come out with some other games as well. Bulbware, is absolutely one of my most favorite game developers ever and I cannot wait to see what they create next. But, even if this is the only game they ever end up making, it's worth it just to have this title to play and see in my opinion.

Many thanks to the developer for this endearing, creepy and fun video game. It's still refreshing to me even after all this time to know that there are ethical and amazing developers like this one who put passion and creativity into a game and just sell it for one fair price. And, like I said, I sincerely hope we get to see some more chapters to Bulb Boy or also some more video games from this studio. 

If you haven't played, Bulb Boy or are on the fence about buying it, I highly recommend this one-of-a-kind game and experience. The artwork and sound design alone are enough to warrant a purchase in my opinion. But, with that you also get a really fun and great story and gameplay as well I think. Plus, I believe the whole concept of a character and family members who are light bulbs 💡, is just so cute, endearing and unique for a video game story. Thanks, again to, Bulbware, and God bless.

### 5/5 — :D amazing, scary, and more amazing and stuff!

*2018-08-04, version 1.14*

I love the potty humor its funny. Especially when fighting the [ SPOILER ] Poop Boss!
Im only 11 yet i still find this game amazing, keep up the great work BulbWare! Also, make a second bulb boy! Where bulb boy has a sister! UR AN AMAZING GUY! ( or girl! )

### 5/5 — IT KEEPS CRASHING!!!

*2017-08-24, version 1.14*

I love this game! I played it through once & loved all of it & hope you make more! However the last 2 times I tried to play it, it froze on me at the end, when the time comes to fight the "eye in the stomach" boss... It turns into a black screen & I can't do anything w/o it closing all together on me! Plz fix it so I can continue supporting your game & recommend it to friends! Playing on my IPhone 5s, last update is 10.1 thx

### 5/5 — So funny, great optimization

*2017-07-10, version 1.14*

I was really impressed by the funny characters and awesome optimization for iPhone 7 Plus big screen. I have a lot of fun playing this game.
One tip: If you got stuck do not use walkthroughs or you won't enjoy it!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2017-06-19, version 1.14*

Great game... Reminded me a little of Limbo in its disturbingness. Great story, both endearing and horrifying, good puzzles. Only issue was a frozen screen (on iOS- never happened before), but that was only once. Recommend!

### 5/5 — Amazing, Unique, Creepy

*2017-04-12, version 1.14*

I don't feel like writing a long review but this was so great. I'm currently stuck on (I'm guessing) is the final boss with chomping teeth. 
   The atmosphere is cute and endearing but soon turns resident evil. I liked the puzzles, not too hard, nothing with a 'grinding' feel.
  It reminded me of tiny thief/botanicula/and horror. 
  I loved it, and the soundtrack added so much atmosphere.

### 5/5 — Sick mobile game !

*2017-02-20, version 1.14*

I don't write many app reviews but this one deserve it! Very underrated game ! I wish there was more continuing episodes of this game to play ! If you love a creepy, comical, puzzler; then this game is for you !!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2017-01-08, version 1.14*

Amazing

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2016-12-23, version 1.14*

Yay
