Bubbaruka!

I hate this game! This is a great game don't get me wrong! but sometimes there's bugs like Having the items even though you haven't collected them yet The game casually freezing, but thank god for keep inventory lmao The boss fight (imo tho, maybe im just bad) (SPOILER) I will blame my incompetence on not being able to parry/reflect the attacks on the boss fight (onaga's) and yes, while writing this review I haven't beaten Onaga and I think It will take me a year to do so. I wish there was a way to attack other than parrying/reflecting the balls or whatever

I don't recommend exclusively because this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrifies me. If you're a fan of horror games then give it a shot, but if you aren't stay FAR away.

Fun, cute, charming, and legitimately quite distressing at times! Bubbaruka is a game that saw what it was expected to be and went above and beyond those expectations purely for the love of telling a good story.

bom demais e bem feito

I didn't want to leave a review for Bubbaruka until i had experienced the post-game, as i felt i had nothing to add which had already been stated by other reviews. But, to reiterate, Bubbaruka is a fantastically atmospheric game. The puzzles are consistently varied, each of the game's three areas feel distinct, and all the graphics and interfaces you'll see were custom-made the the creator. This helps greatly to create a wonderfully immersive experience, with no default-engine assets (also considering at heart this is an RPG-maker title makes it worthy of massive props). You can really tell the effort and passion the creator has put into the game. I discovered Bubbaruka through ManlyBadassHero's playthrough of the demo, and later found out the game had been in development since 2017/18? Even since that video earlier this year, so much refinement has gone into the game's area layout, assets, GUI and pacing. I would like to add that Bubbaruka knows it doesn't need to be "breaking new ground" in the terms of video games to be great, it provides its concepts and then puts them together in ways that break up and keep playing interesting, as well as making sense within the story, and are just so entertaining. Like [spoiler] the brown note entity 'creature' getting mad in the true ending when you delete the image of their face, and causing the entire game window to pulse? Not only is it a fascinating and creative use of a seemingly redundant engine feature, it fits so well within the universe of the game. [/spoiler] Without spoiling the story of the game, Bubbaruka's is captivating and presented in a way which draws you deeper into it. I have already touched on pacing, but it really is well done. There are three main gameplay segments in the game, accompanied by the three 'Bubbies' who you guide through them. [spoiler] The first, Tomo's, keeps the feel of a seemingly unfinished children's game while sowing the seed of another presence and introducing the existence of the in-universe creators of Bubbaruka, including some the key employees of Kodemu and the sense that something is wrong beyond conflict between colleagues. The second area, Miboo's provides more information about Kodemu and the events which occurred surrounding the release of Bubbaruka, while steadily building the horror of an entity which is actively tormenting the trapped characters of the game who have been brought to life by its presence, as well as warping the minds and bodies of the real people unfortunate enough to see its face. The final area of the game, Flou's, brings home the creature's presence of fear and provides the story of Onaga, who was first afflicted. This builds to the final climax of creature's reveal, and the final battle with a distorted Onaga, who assumedly by creatures own eldritch power has been woven into the game. You then get either the good or bad ending depending on whether you unlocked the vaults and backtracked to delete creature's face. The use of the flesh material that makes creature only in the final sequence really adds to setting it apart from the main spooks throughout the game, helping to place it on a whole other level to the rest of the entities and really selling it as 'the big bad'. Also in relation to story, i do appreciate that Bubbaruka knows what it is, eventually providing answers to its main questions to give a highly satisfying conclusion, leaving just a little amount unknown to keep you interested afterwards in the back of your mind. The fate of Akarai? How did the picture get in Onaga's book? Questions which don't have especially much relevance to the core plot, but are fun to consider as fans. There is mystery, but its not frustrating or poorly thought out. Its also nice that in-game and real world explanations mesh in a way which works. The game paces itself and lures you deeper because, its a game, and the game paces itself and lures you deeper because, creature wants you interested so it can show you its face and continue to spread. The general idea can be placed under the 'possessed game' genre, but like i said, Bubbaruka knows that providing concepts well with great execution is what makes a good game, not just providing new concepts. [/spoiler] For final thoughts, the sound design is also nice and helps keep with the theme, and the post-game update provides more content for you to explore and create a happier ending if you want to. Its nice that the game could easily end when it does, and that the post-game doesn't feel out of place either. In terms of length, while checking every note and exploring every area, playing through and getting both the bad then the good ending takes around 7-9 hours. Its a short game, so its nice that the post game content is there for those who want more. In regards to the developer, the whole thing was made by a one-person studio, and the developer is very helpful at quickly responding to bug reports and fixing errors. Its $4.99/£3.99, and you could get it on sale, but its full of heart and is a wonderful game which you won't soon forget.

It's great! Especially for one man dev making this on RPG Maker. Rather lengthy for only being $5, story is interesting, legit terrifying at times, and with some tinkering with the controller settings it's also playable on Steam Deck! However, it does have quite the number of bugs here and there which the dev though is at least trying to fix, even almost four years after the game initially came out, which is some real commitment there ngl. Worth the full $5 Also Tomo best Bubby.

An absolute gem that I enjoyed playing start to finish (though it's important to note that there's a post-game which seems to be quite sizeable, though I haven't started to scratch the surface). The story is, despite being a horror game, feels cosy - it reminds me of classic creepypastas like Godzilla NES. Scary, and heartwarmingly cheesy. Fun to see all the details come together, and all of the optional notes you can read to figure out what happened, and why this is all happening. It's just an excellent game, and is super affordable - give it a chance if you get the inkling!

哇多么好的游戏啊
