Ratings and reviews

Tldr: a great, fun game with some flaws. I played bumbo when it was released on pc about a year ago, and I really enjoyed it. I remember thinking that it would make a great mobile port, and here we are. I would recommend it to anyone who likes match three games and/or BoI. There are definitely some bugs, like sometimes when spinning the wheel in the shop I will get the money payout over and over. The $15 price is a little high for a mobile game too, so I would say buy on pc first.

Awesome game, some fixes needed. Haven't played it on PC, but have been looking forward to playing this since release. Biggest issue is the fact that there is no automated save feature for your progress through a run. If you close the app mid-run, or maybe it crashes on you, you lose all progress and you have to start over, so thats kind of annoying. If this can get fixed it'll be a big improvement. The only other bug I've ran into so far the music crashes at times when u minimize the app

Controller support for this would be greatly appreciated. Its hard to see where I am placing a tile because my finger is on it. I've found myself wasting a turn placing something one spot shy of the spot I'm going for. Its already deceptively hard, unless I'm just terrible at it. I don't really see myself playing it anymore unless controller support is added, though. I'd at least stand a little better chance being able to see what I'm doing. It seems fun, just too difficult using my fingers.
