A fun and exciting story.
Bulb Boy is a wonderful addition to the Switch, especially if you’re looking for something a little more unusual.

Very unique, heartwarming and fun to play. A hidden gem in the indie games. Paid at purchase time 9.99, I would have been comfortable paying much more than that. It is a shorter game, but it has re-playability (limited). Overall, for price and game content, hell of a deal.

Bulb Boy excels in the horrifyingly twisted world that it inhabits, delivering an unworldly experience that will linger in your memory long after you see it through to completion. Illuminatingly unique, it proves to be yet another Nintendo eShop release that is not to be missed.

Bulb Boy makes itself at home on the Switch to give us a spooky puzzler to play at home or on the go.
Bulb Boy won’t stay in your memories forever; it is a relatively small game that shouldn’t take too long to complete, but whilst it lasts it offers nicely designed puzzles and an underlying humour that offers a different experience. It is clearly lovingly put-together and refreshingly manages to make horror cute and fun, rather than taking itself seriously. Bulb Boy didn’t take our breath away and isn’t revolutionary, but its appeal comes in the form of its characters, craziness and toilet humour – a deadly combination that deserves to be played.
Bulb Boy’s uniqueness is outstanding, offering a very stylish and charismatic game that blends creepiness and cuteness in a creative way. While it's also true that you won’t be in this bright little boy’s shoes for too long, the glimpse of his world will be more than worth the walk.
Overall, Bulb Boy is a solid title on Nintendo Switch. If you’re looking for a horror-based point and click adventure and are on a budget, definitely pick it up when you get the chance.
Bulb Boy certainly has an intriguing visual concept, but lays it on a bit thick with the weird and wacky side of things later on without really explaining why, or even bothering to draw everything together into a cohesive package. Rather than being an extremely smart point-and-click adventure with mind-bending puzzles and a clever-but-creepy storyline, it instead strings together a handful of simple scenarios that do not hold the attention for long, and barely offer any challenge - unless awkward controls and long re-loads count. To top it off, there is barely any story to tickle gamers' imaginations, and then it finishes in about an hour, which for its price makes it hard to recommend.
Such a unique little game... Its dark, its ugly (in a good way), its creepy and I really wish it could be longer or/and they would make a sequel. Delicious.

A game about an irreverent character going through a gross world. The story is fun and the artwork very pretty, but the duration of the game is very short.

This game is a good point&click kind of horror game that made me smile. It's not a hard game, but it's a game that makes you laugh a little from time to time. I bought it on a sale and it did get me surprised. Bulb Boy has nice graphics and decent plot(maybe graphics are a bit too green, but it's not that bad. It won't annoy you with such a length ****). Also, boss battles are fun!

Bulb boy. Played - 2 hours
Paid - £3.59. Score - 4/10
I bought bulbboy on recommendation and was quickly annoyed. I liked the aesthetic but quickly found myself stumped by a puzzle. A recurrent problem with the more ‘artful’ indie puzzle adventure games. What I could interact with wasn’t obvious or sometimes was unresponsive. It didn’t feel like I had misunderstood the puzzles more that the level design made it look like certain elements wouldn’t be interactive, or that two interactive elements where too close together for the touch screen. It didn’t feel like overcoming a puzzle, moreso poor design. The tone of the game does make up for some of the shortcomings, but bulbboy does lack a lot of fun and innovation that other puzzle solving games have and is ultimately very short. Whilst animations are rewarding and original, after beating the game I found myself quickly forgetting it. 4/10

Belos gráficos, trilha sonora interessante, jogabilidade simples. MAS, os quebra-cabeças são muito simples e o jogo é RIDICULAMENTE PEQUENO, SEM NEM SEQUER EXTRAS. Até jogo de smartphone tem mais conteúdo. Decepção gastar 9 dólares nisso. Bem feito, porém em uma hora você termina o jogo. Sensação de ter jogado dinheiro fora.
