Bubblegum Bandit

Best game I've ever played

an elegant well designed and just fun platformer.

A puzzle-platformer with enough struggle to make it feel like a challenge as you flip yourself upside down into electrical wires or accidentally bring enemies you were escaping along with you.

Yerçekimi manipülasyonu ve sakızın gücüyle Bubblegum Bandit ortalığı kasıp kavuruyor ve intikam alıyor! Kötü robotlardan çalın ve gemilerini havaya uçurun!

找到每关的珍珠（？）后，在倒计时结束前回到起点。 用泡泡糖枪把敌人粘在地上~而且主角随时可以选择倒立着移动。 共22关，每关长度舒适。解救前21关中所有的船员后，才能玩最后一关。 收集要素（船员）位置的设置都比较顺路，没有特别需要绕远路去收集的。赞。 还挺适合放空大脑的。除了最后有几关用门限制了逃脱路线，基本都是原路返回就可以~ 【是否使用泡泡枪】对于游戏难度影响非常大。 静止不动的时候按填弹按钮可以恢复子弹，也就是无限子弹！ 我一开始没看教程和设置，全靠游戏场景里的按钮介绍，根本不知道子弹可以填充哈哈，只用6颗子弹过关还挺难的。一旦发现子弹无限之后，感觉难度在4/10这样的。 唯一想要吐槽的点：最后两关才出现的箱子。 当离它较近（比如肩并肩这样的）进行翻转重力，容易被判定压死。更宽松一点就好啦！

7/10, enjoyed the free experience. Here's some thoughts. Pros: Unique idea with the bubblegum and sticking enemies and blocks using it, (mostly) easy to understand goals, fun to use the bubblegum. Cons: Collectibles don't feel all that special & some are even in the main path, physics can get weird sometimes especially with the blocks, blocks should've been implemented earlier in the game. Overall fun experience and a good free Steam game, hope you guys make another game.

Bubblegum Bandit is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This platformer is driven almost completely by the gravity inversion mechanism that dozens of other platformers have already done, but much better than this. At least the paper-cutout looking "art" isn't pixelcrap. That doesn't mean it's good, though... there's reasons why this was such a failure. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
