The game’s action thus revolves around aiming Bob’s jump to get up to higher ground, bouncing off of zombies’ heads, flying into power-ups that will periodically refresh, and flapping his arms wildly to exhibit what little control he can to prolong his life and the current run. Aside from being motivated to get as high as score as you can the majority of the motivation in single-player mode is just to unlock new stages for greater challenge by topping a target score. Probably a bit more engaging, and helping keep the title viable longer, is the local mutliplayer mode where you can try to outlast each other and bound around for power-ups to try to best each other. Budget titles like this are tough to score. It’s not a particularly badly-made game, and its production values, while simple, are reasonable. The nature of the action is at least distinctive, but that’s as much a strength as it is a liability, since your enjoyment hinges on whether you appreciate the game’s only real mechanic, or whether you can then find a few friends who’ll enjoy it with you. This leaves Bouncy Bob in a tough spot in a competitive space on the Switch and you should definitely review your options before making a commitment.
