Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a gift. Its at first simplistic presentation belies a work of thought, care, and empathy. It satisfies those looking for quality in exploration, combat, and writing, while tying all elements together to focus the experience on communicating its message.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass moved me in a way that a game hasn't in many years. It's as though Ozymy reached into my childhood and created a game that appeals to me on every level. Its beautifully written characters, surprisingly robust combat system, and satisfying exploration make it worth the price of admission. Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a quirky, hilarious, emotional experience that simply shouldn't be missed.

Absolute fantastic game, RPG Maker devs are known to be releasing a lot of gems, and this one is one of them. The music is funky, the story is touching, the combat is dynamic, the battle backgrounds are so alive, abstract, and creative. This game was an incredible experience, an experience that i loved instantly, i keeped listening to the soundtracks and making references to this game since i played it for the first time. Plus, it's funny the amount of times i saw "fresh" written on something and trought "LOL, Jimmy reference".

At 15 dollars and a little bit of elbow grease to get it working, Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is one of the most enjoyable and affordable RPG experiences in recent memory.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a fantastic RPG that has every right to stand right next to the classics that inspired it, and especially the SNES gem known as Earthbound. It's funny, weirdly heart-warming and melancholic at the same time, and, believe it or not, very spooky. Apart from those who resent turn-based battles, or don't have the patience to do some heavy grinding, most are definitely advised to try this out.
Ultimately, Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is a touching personal story wrapped in good jokes and functional graphics. It won’t win over anyone who’s opposed to grinding or dislikes traditional turn-based battles, but pixel RPG purists should find something to enjoy. Customizing Jimmy personalizes battles while supporting the game’s thematic concerns, while using new powers to explore keeps the old brainmeat flexing. The music’s pretty good too.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass is an amazing RPG filled with unique battle mechanics, funky music, charming and flesh-out characters, and a story that will keep you at the edge of your seat. It is clear that there was a lot of love poured into this game. A must-play for fans of games such as Yume Nikki, OFF, and the MOTHER series.

Best turn-based RPG I've played in a long time! Great story, great game play, great characters, and great music, just everything about this game is great! Has almost 60 hours worth of content. I can't recommend it enough! If you are a fan rpgs like Earthbound, you will love this game.
