Ratings and reviews

With my old phone, this used to be a go-to app for some fun puzzle solving, boss fighting and "turn-based" combat. Now however, it's just a waste of a bunch of space in my phone, it doesn't even launch on newer systems it seems. I loved Binding of Isaac so much, to see Bumbo go down as an unrunnable app for almost no reason it seems.

Same twisted feel that I loved about Binding of Isaac, but a whole different style of game play. The combat system definitely takes a bit to get used to and wouldn't be bad except that its a huge pain in the ass trying to rotate the pieces on screen. Little icons+fat fingers creates huge blind spots and as soon as you remove your finger it locks in the move. Dont know how to fix the issue aside from maybe manually locking in a move but it definitely hurts the experience

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
