Bob Was Hungry

Bob Was Hungry is a tiny comic puzzle game in name and in spirit, and that smallness is the point: it sounds built for people who want a quick gag wrapped around a simple objective. By our assessment, its strength would be the directness of the setup, because a game with a joke premise needs to get to the punchline fast and keep the mechanics readable. The limit is also built in: if the joke is not your thing, there is not much else to lean on. In practice, this kind of game tends to move fast, ask little, and get by on clean feedback rather than depth. It sits among short indie oddities more than among big systems-driven games. Bob Was Hungry works best as a compact diversion, not as something that promises a long afterlife.
