The NIGHTMARE was over but this is only the beginning of Bulb Boy’s dark adventures! And this time, it all starts with an empty jam jar...

The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 20 → 0.17/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Everything seems to be just fine... But not for long!

When Grandparaffine sends Bulb Boy to venture into the eerie depths of the basement in a search of a precious jar full of delicious jam, it quickly turns out that this mission will not be as easy as it might seem. And by saying that we don't mean problems such as a missing key to the doors. We talk about navigating through the dark, shadowy corners of the cellar...
Oh, and about facing sticky jelly creatures and their spine-tingling boss that wants Bulb Boy's head for his own. Yeah.

Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is the sequel to the hit and award-winning indie game that combines point & click adventure with horror game. The original visual style of the game is inspired by 90’s cartoons and emphasizes the grotesqueness of the production, full of cute creatures and disgusting details, shown in close-ups.
Solving tricky puzzles and facing jelly monsters will slowly unfold a twisted story full of unpredictable twists and turns. And all this accompanied by original music and mind-scratching sound effects!

fun game, good story line not hard to complete, would recommend
[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31067175///] If you enjoy this review please consider following my Curator page here. [/url] What an unlikely sequel! A few days shy of a decade between releases, Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair was a pleasant surprise to see pop up. Much like the first, Bulb Boy 2 is a breezy point-and-click adventure with minimal inventory management and puzzles that shouldn’t make you rack your brain too much save one or two that I found a bit odd. Given the nearly 10 years between releases, it’s no surprise that this sequel is better looking with a much more vibrant color palette and some more inventive one off gags. I personally enjoy the artistic direction as well, but I can see some people being adverse to some of the grosser imagery. I found it to be a good bit shorter than its predecessor - not a bad thing, but worth noting. There were some moments when the game asks quick movements or reactions by you which I think flies in the face of its slower-paced controls. Luckily, there are not many of these asks. Overall, I enjoyed my single-session time with Bulb Boy 2 and I do love a game that does not overstay its welcome. Hopefully the wait is much shorter for Bulb Boy 3!

Cute and fun, just like their first game from 2015. Jar of Despair is more colorful and less creepy, but still full of creative ideas and bizarre creatures. Worth playing for all adventure game fans, especially those who enjoy Amanita Design’s work. One of the most beautiful games of the year.
A fantastic follow-up to the original. I loved how it keeps the creepy cute art style from the first game but adds more detail and personality to every room. The puzzles feel smarter and more varied, and the jam jar storyline is weird in the best way.
Esse jogo está muito bom, eu estava esperando muito para o 2 depois de 10 anos do 1, as animações estão muito bonitas e divertidas, para quem jogou o 1 , pode jogar esse que ele mantém a mesma pegada de bizarrice, só que agora colorido e ainda mais bonito.
Intresting, funny and weird
Очень приятная игра, всем советую. Игра небольшая, но очень классная)
Bulb Boy is such a cute, yet equally gross point and click game with a lot of heart. All he wants is to be a good boy. Too bad he lives in a deeply cursed house that wants to burn out the light every chance it can get. The game is about 2 hours, a bit short but it was fun. Some puzzles were a bit unintuitive but nothing too frustrating. My only real complaint is the End Boss Battle controls. You have to control Bulb Boy and his dog simultaneously, which is an interesting mechanic, however, you are not able to control both at the same time and there is a lag at times switching back and forth. What makes it worse is that you can control both characters with the mouse but only Bulb boy with the keyboard. You find yourself fighting the controls more than the actual boss. Overall I highly recommend checking out the series for a unique point and click experience.
hehe. me love Bulbboy
