Comics Bob

Comics Bob is a new puzzle game from the ICON Games company. A funny story about the difficult life of cavemen will brighten up your evenings. Go with Bob on an adventure, overcome obstacles, fight saber-toothed tigers, and conquer the heart of your beloved. To win, you need intuition, not logic, so most of your decisions will be completely absurd.

Crazy Prehistoric World

The game is an addicting side-view puzzle. Although it has all the prehistoric-era trappings like leopard loincloths, dinosaurs, and stone houses, there are also a lot of absurd things here. That's the genius of the game. Bob always has pepper spray on hand to fend off animals, wields a gas burner for cooking meat, and attempts to scatter the clouds with a hairdryer. His Girlf is even cooler: she carries a rocket, dynamite, a pickaxe, and a couple of gray mice with her. Together, they like to eat steaks and sushi and drink wine.

By and large, the whole game is reduced to the fact that you should choose one of the two proposed answers, having encountered an obstacle. But in such a crazy world, there can be no logical solutions to a problem. For example, it would seem worth using a ladder to get out of a pit, but not in this game. Your character uses a frog like a balloon and rises on it to the surface. A creepy ghost in a cave can turn into a beautiful lady if given a bouquet, not a torch. And when it seems to you that you have understood the logic and decided to provide the most absurd answers, the game offers you even more tricky situations with ridiculous options you would never have thought of.

Comics Bob Mechanics

While playing, simply select one of the two options provided based on the circumstances. Your character moves and interacts with the world around them independently. Each level consists of 2-3 puzzle stages. If you answer incorrectly at the last point, you'll have to replay the level completely. It can be a little annoying, considering how slow the characters are. But at the end of each episode, you can enjoy Bob and his girl's funny dances.

It is the most simple game that does not require any special skills from you. There is no task list, map, or character customization options. Just walk forward to a fun soundtrack and complete absurd tasks. Despite the developers' efforts to introduce new levels, Comics Bob generally lacks substantial replayability. It is not difficult to remember your answers so that you can go through the game again in a matter of minutes. Over time, similar tasks and a bit monotonous soundtrack can get boring.
