How it feels

A cute but frantic pixel-platformer where every death is a fast-paced lesson, demanding quick reflexes and perseverance through colorful, linear levels.

What players say

Players compare Bumballon to the barrel sections of Donkey Kong Country. The controls are simple, often just one button, but the game is fast and unforgiving with no checkpoints or easy modes. Players split on the later levels, some say a space ship mechanic hurts the flow. Reviews note it is short, under 2 hours, and a good value at its low price.
