Bunnyrama is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game looks like a platformer, but just like it's not a PC game, it's not a platformer either. It's an unusual form factor, the best way to describe it is a side-view Sokoban, where you pick up giant rabbits (the blocks) and place them. You can't jump, you can just climb over them, so gameplay involves solving the Sokoban levels by placing the blocks in the right place so you can reach the exit on each level. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. Because this is a mobile app, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the iPhones that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate handicaps and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was an afterthought for the iPhone developers who are to blame for this. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for mobile phones forces upon a game. Once more, mobile devs have made gaming worse for everyone. I didn't spend thousands on building a gaming rig just so I could pretend it's an iPhone. You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Bunnyrama has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for completing the first level, and only around 7 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. On Steam, this is $3, on app stores, it's about $1. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a cheap mobile game just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. Because this is a mobile app, is priced to insult and gouge PC gamers, and because of the other defects, it's impossible to recommend. Just who do they think we are?
