Bob Came In Pieces

Posted by Amy Baldry,

Meet Bob, he’s happy in his work, in fact he loves it and his employers love him the perfect employee and with a great work attendance like his it’s a shock when he makes his usual commute to work one morning and ends up crash landing in a strange place due to some strange meteor hitting him. Yep, it�s Earth, you may have wondered why Bob didn’t look like your average office worker but that’s because Bob isn’t from Earth himself and now he’s in a right pickle due to crashing his spaceship and the parts scattering all over the world.

This is where we, the gamers, come in to lend a helping hand in exchange for learning the basics and mechanics of his craft we get to navigate Bob and his ship through the array of locations and puzzles set before us over ground and underground you will need to find all the missing components and add and detach them to your ship to enable you to progress through the scrolling left to right levels. The puzzles themselves are pretty obvious but its where you decide to put your attachments that �decide how you solve them in the end. Adding the wrong part in the wrong place can affect the way your ship moves and steers showing off the games notable physics system. This can give the game play itself that little extra difficulty

As well as the great story line and puzzles which can range from levers, swings and roundabouts to stacks of boxes to smash through all of it looks astonishingly good. It is all in 2d but the foreground and background work well together giving the game depth and that 3-d feel to it. The music has a certain nostalgic indie feel to it reminding you of games that you may have once recognised from the late 80’s to early 90’s with a modern twist of course. The controls itself are pretty simple with arrow keys as movement and using the mouse to attach different ship parts, you can’t go wrong.
