How it feels

A frantic race against time as you guide a falling boy using suction cups to stick to walls and avoid traps.

What players say

Players are split on Boom Buddy. Some enjoy it as a simple reflex-testing arcade game, but many call it repetitive and say the traps feel unfair. The suction mechanic is a common complaint for being clunky. Several reviewers also warn that it looks and plays like a mobile game and is not worth the full price.
