60 of 71 · most liked firstGumboy - Crazy Adventures earns my first negative review. Campaign: Let's get started, the protagonist known as Gumboy is a ball (most likely made of gum) that can transform into different shapes by collecting different in game items. There are different story sections of the game: Tutorial, Magic Forest, Bean World, Summer Meadow, Underground, and Caves. Each section is about equal in length except Underground which only has three levels. The tutorials offer a system which allows you to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I must say I am quite surprised by so many negative reviews. To me this little game is pure genius. There's something about it you just can't put your finger on... something strange, hard to define. The premise is utterly simple - roll left or right - but the game keeps adding new possibilities every level. And it doesn't make a fuzz about it. "Here's something completely new, it's there, who cares". The mechanics and physics are spot on and the game explores them brilliantly. Visually it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful scenarios and very interesting gameplay with simple controls, grab this game when it's on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is beautiful. It has a magical atmosphere seldom found in videogames - close to Samorost or Machinarium (mood, not gameplay!) but still its own thing. Gameplay is fun too. Whimsical, love it. Makes you feel in touch with nature. Should be more aknowledged.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your goal in "Gumboy - Crazy Adventures", is to score points by getting as many diamonds (at least I think they are diamonds) as you can. At the start of the game you are a ball, which can roll around but if you pick specific powerups you can transform into something else which can either fly or bounce. Gumboy looks pretty nice and it's not that bad of a game but the gameplay will only enjoy you for a short while. I can't recommend buying this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad, however it's not worth more than a few bucks either. also rember this game came out in 2006.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will be honest. I have absolustely no idea what this game is about. I spent almost an hour on the first level and I still canot proceed. It's a platformer with horrendous controls, and gamepad support. Don't even attempt to play it with keyboard and mice. I'm going to park this in the "Do not want to finish" pile of my log. Stay away guys!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Игра очень красивая и красочная. Всё.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very poor game with horrible controls. Definitely don't buy this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was included in a bundle I got, so I only paid $.25 for it, thankfully. The only positive I have to sa about this game is that the artstyle is beautiful. That aside, the gameplay is terrible. Getting Gumboy to jump is nearly impossible, the physics are annoying. Don't even get me started on the sound effects. I only played it for maybe 10 minutes before getting so frustrated that I uninstalled it. I wouldn't recommend this game even if someone gave it to you for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even tought it's cheap don't buy not worth the time. Maybe kids will like it...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let the totally awful name put you off. This is a lovely little... erm... platformer I guess but it's based around a rolling thing that has different properties in different situations and doing various strange tasks. A vastly underated game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What did I just play? Honestly, the game isn't even worth trying. Its levels are constructed in dim-witted ways. The controls are very buggy and the lack of reason behind the game just gets boring. I will admit though that Gumboy does have interesting aspects in the backgrounds and settings that it displays, as well as the different forms that Gumboy can take on his adventures. But overall the game just stunk. I wouldn't play this again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so boring and the random jibberish being said is stupid
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some kind of expansion for a mediocre physics platformer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HELP I CAN'T EXIT OUT OF THE GAME.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wasn't expecting this game to be good. Now that ive played it I can say, Its not that bad! Its has a really nice art style, some cool and unique power-ups, and some pleasant music. HOWEVER. Its very slow, the controls are very special to say the least and the game itself gets a bit repetetive. 6/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game when I was a kid and it was a blast. Still as awesome today!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really beautifull, with an art touch in the design of the levels, but controls are a bit uncomfortable. It's really worth playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not half bad. This rolling platformer provides a small variety of constantly changing character transformations that makes it fun and entertaining in small doses. The price is right.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controls just like real gum You know. You just walk to a store...And...You buy gum
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very underrated game. The game suffers from hard to understand physics (you bounce all over the place and bop over the smallest edges) making tight jumps hard to pull off (and there are plenty of those). However, the game is not that long, has outstanding visuals, and in short bursts is quite fun. You can see the imagination oozing from the design of the game, and for 5€ (or less), this is a game that no one should miss.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst acid trip of my life, play rock of ages instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pro: Fun graphics Demo Low system specs Con: Controls kinda suck Music really sucks Level design is nconsistent (from easy to next to impossible to easy) Repetitive & borning really fast No cards or achieves Overall: 5/10 +1 looks, +2 demo, -1 no cards or achieves, -1 repetitive, -2 controls = 4/10 A fun way to kill an hour or two but $5.50 for 2 hours may or may not be a deal. Grab when on sale only.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No. Some levels are unbeatable and you have to be perfect and move along top of level in dark with no direction. Not worth the dollar I spent on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has me rolling with the laughter of a MILLION elephants riding unicycles with the three blind mice who just got off an acid trip this game is sponsored in part by boxes and PATRIC FREAKING STAR buy this game if you want to live the high life of comedy and moments where you question your own existance in the universe
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terribad. I got this for free and want a refund. Thank yaw.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is pointless as ♥♥♥♥, wasted my money and time just spining around and grabing as many useless ♥♥♥♥ i could find and giving cocaine to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ elf scratching his balls, the main character has obvius homosexual tendences and is high as ♥♥♥♥, the music just starts ranmdomly and of course the controls are worst than a pedophile. to the people who developed this game, ♥♥♥♥ you. please dont ever make a game in your lives, mankind will thank you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/BQzuso2jI3g Ultimately the character/camera/controls of this bouncy platformer are insufficient to meet a player's expectations for a satisfying play experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →more like dumbboy - crazy let me go kill myself
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is not a bad game. I would give it 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gumboy: Crazy Adventures is a physics-driven platform game developed and published by CINEMAX, s.r.o. that takes a highly imaginative approach to the genre. Instead of controlling a traditional hero armed with weapons or special attacks, players guide a living ball-shaped creature through a collection of colorful fantasy worlds filled with puzzles, environmental hazards, and momentum-based challenges. The game's greatest strength lies in its willingness to build an entire adventure around…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, this game is kind of clunky and it feels a little aged. It's kind of a physics-based puzzle platformer, like those that were popular before or during the early days of the indie games boom. If you are really into this type of games, maybe you'll find some fun. But the unpredictable controls and kind of boring progression can turn this game into frustration quickly. Even though I didn't complete it, it was better than I expected and there is fun if you can find it. Otherwise, don't waste…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't even really know why this is in my library or where I got it, and I definitely don't know what it is. Being serious, though, this is a really low-quality physics "platformer" where you just use frustrating controls to roll around and collect little gems. Definitely miss this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was made for children, i could read the entire game design from the second level, and it managed to be WORSE than Nightsky and Gish. Even thought it is more detailed and beautiful than those two, it still feels like it came out of a game template maker or something. The mouth sound effects the character makes was bad. The movement is too floaty. And it is just bad in general, i do not recommend it. Nightsky is more challenging, and Gish has more grip and feels better than this. Go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dear god this game is unplayable, literally, I can't beat this one level because it's missing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ upgrades, next time, made a better game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Baby sitting tool !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its not worth your money at full price.sure its an old game but still nice looking.outher wise i played it pressing right or left key letting the game complete it self,or arrow show me where to go .In a puzzle game i don'T think there's place for help this obvious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not the worst game, but it's completely unappealing. On the occasions where I've played it, when there's literally nothing else I feel like playing, I have somewhat enjoyed myself, but you can do so much better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty bad game. I can tell at least some effort went into this on the programming side though, and that's a shame. On the face of it, its a simple ball rolling into hole puzzle game but tries to be more than it is by inventing names for well esatblished mechanics (power ups are luciferoids and stars and junk) certain number of points required before you can leave the incredibly simple levels, controls are clunky and bogged down at best frustratingly fast and floaty at worst. not worth the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont listent to negative review bchting about things that didnt matter back in 2006! they clearly dont know how to review a game this old they dont know their normie game standards make no sense for this game its just a gem ahead of its time (not our time) enjoy the vibe enjoy the art and atmosphere if you cant enjoy art this game aint for u cuz its too simple as intended to be enjoyed with its simplecity
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I will readily admit this game has some issues, I did find it a fun little casual physics game. Unfortunately it's really dated and either doesn't support controllers or doesn't like mine. I also had issues with multi-monitor and 4K display throwing it for a bit of a loop, but a quick change to 1920x1080 fullscreen fixed it. I still recommend the game because I did find it enjoyable to mess around and learn the physics and how to navigate the levels, but it very much shows its age and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →achievs? cards? GOOD GAME ? yup, it doesnt have anythin
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun challenging game for kids, although I'm pretty the developers were on acid or something cause this game is a real trip. You play as a ball that rolls, trying to collect all the gems and exit the stage, so it's like a Sonic the Hedgehog game for children. Gumboy: Crazy Features comes with this game (I believe) and it's a tutorial/explanation of the games features. So I would check that out first shortly before playing the actual game. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring as can be. Seems to rely on luck more so then skill. Many of the obstacles are more annoying then challenging. Stay away.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a fan. Kids lost interest in moments, and I also followed suit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game if u are alone at home
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game its great for passing time,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For what it is: it's fun. This is the sort of game you'd probably find on Kongregate or other Flash-hosting websites, but bigger and prettier. It's worth what I paid for it (I believe $2 or so?) as a simple, somewhat challenging little oddity.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh wow. I've read that controls in this game are bad, but I wanted to see if they aren't just tricky in some way. Visually this game is ok, enviroment was made by mixture of different painting methods, and was actually pleasant to look at. Unfortunately, that is were the good things end. Controls are indeed horrendous, movement of the ball is often unpredictable, the way different ball versions work is not really well explained in-game, there are several places where you can get stuck in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the love child of Farcry 4 and TF2, The multiplayer is very balenced and coherent allowing for the player to easily get stuck into the wepon/leveling system and enjoy the experiance. The story is just immersive with fantastic charecter development, beautiful graphics and amazing level design creating a sence of presance and over all feel for the game world. I R8 8/8 M8 would £152 again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst game I have played in a long time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aside from the final room this game is really nice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You move around, get points... and.. Well that's the gist. It looks nice enough, but the controls are not great. I get that it is an exploration of physics, but it really lacks substance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Damn it, clicking EXIT was never this annoying!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s pretty much Tomb Raider without boobs…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly otherworldly game play experience
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sure there's a good game in here somewhere, but I can't find it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My gambling addict friend said if I post a review and it gets 150 likes and 50 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer, some vodka and 1 kg of lemon So im just gonna leave this here. Мой друг-игроман сказал, что если я опубликую отзыв и он наберет 150 лайков и 50 наград, он купит мне ящик пива, немного водки и 1 кг лимона, так что я просто оставлю это здесь.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Frustrating camera and controls in an already sub-par physics platformer package.
