Bob Came in Pieces Reviews

A cute little game. Controls are a little ackward, and the gameplay is a little boring. It isn't totally bad. If you're looking for a cheap casual game, this is for you. If you're looking for a challenge or a exciting gameplay, just skip it.

This game is ingenious! One of the best physics based games ever. People that don't like it, they just don't get physics. Go play some LOL.

Actually kind of cool, you fly around in a little spaceship, adding various parts to your thing to solve all these physics based puzzles. Surprisingly well made for such a no-name kind of title. But it's a game for kiddies. Pretty boring for mature gamers such as myself.

Belated review. This indie physics-based puzzle game is pretty fun. Your goal is to navigate a spaceship to the end of a level. Sure, it sounds easy enough, but there are always obstacles in your way. The main hook of the gameplay is mixing and matching parts on your spaceship in order to solve physics-based puzzles in each level (pushing and pulling objects, smashing through things, etc). I found the controls to be a bit touchy at times and wasn't a huge fan of the ship-building interface, but overall, there's not much bad to say about this game. Just go into it without any grand expectations. It's pretty laid back and is a nice way to kill a few hours. There are also a number of advanced levels available, in addition to the main story chapters, for those looking for a bit more challenge.

I don't recommend this. Most of the play time goes to putting your ship together for one 15 second puzzle, then spending another 5 minutes rebuilding it to make it past the next. Then again, it's probably more of a kid's "stick round peg into round hole" game.

Bob Came in Pieces is a lovely, casual physics-based puzzle game that features a story mode with 14 chapters where you main goal is to collect all the missing ship parts you have lost during a crash with a meteor. To solve the puzzles you have to combine certain parts and attach them to one of the 8 sockets on your ship. Additionally the game features 10+1 really challenging and cool VR missions (heavily inspired by the VR missions in Metal Gear Solid) where you have to solve some really crazy puzzles with a pre-defined set of ship parts. In both the adventure and the VR mode the timer can be toggled on/off so it's up to you if you play the game the casual way and explore the levels or go for gold and try to beat the clock to get a silver or gold medal and the respective Steam achievement. The replayability depends on whether you're into time-attack or not. Either way i can highly recommend this game so make sure to get it (when it's on sale)!

Pretty neat little game from the start of the last decade. Definitely what I'd call rough around the edges, but quite a nice bit of fun if you wanna put the time into it. There's VR missions, but I'unno if you need to have ACTUAL VR stuff for that, and I already uninstalled the game so that'll be up to you to figure out. For £3.99 you could do WAY worse!

This was a cute little puzzler I had sitting in my backlog for ages. It was quite short, but it had a cool little story around it while trying to pick up all the pieces of your blown apart space ship, and get back into space. It was fun while it lasted.

Don't fall for its cuteness. Its definitely not what it appears to be in the first glance. The calm and cosmic music is there for good reason. To stop you from giving up and stick together if the bob managed to fly back to its native planet , the same spot he left from, the call centers. Yes, they have call centers out there too. Indeed , all the planets having any kind of life form supposedly have had call centers. Its a backbone of planet's economy. So, you need to not only think how to proceed and enter the portal towards the next level, but also carefully have a map of ship design in your mind matching with that of the environment to remove the obstacles or create the path. Well, that's it. Give these awesome developers your money and figure out yourself, how do they operate call centers in some planet named Zigajibooboos.

After trying for three hours to come to grips with this game's mechanics, I decided to give up. I don't think [i]Bob Came in Pieces[/i] is an outright bad game, it's just a game I can't get used to, nor do I find any fun in it. The basic idea is sound and actually somewhat original: controling Bob, you have to travel through several levels in order to collect the missing parts of his ship (Bob is a spaceship that came down to earth in pieces). There are several obstacles on the way, most of those objects that have to be removed or replaced (well, in the few levels I played anyway). By putting together Bob in the right way on the work-pads, you can figure out how to overcome the obstacles/puzzles: putting an extra engine in one of the slots makes a huge difference, and there's a "pull beam" that lets you pull away objects. At least, theoretically. Since the controls of this game are off-target to say the least, controlling Bob once some pieces of the spaceship have been adjusted, became a nightmare. Even more problematic is that the game relies on physics to solve puzzles - bu the physics seem to have been hugely overdone, with every action leading to a much greater reaction than I would ever expect. That makes the game nearly unplayable for me - although I would love to progress further into the apparently well designed levels and discover more of Bob's pieces, the controls and physics just don't let me do so. Graphics and sound do a pretty good job, so all the more regrettable that the gameplay let me down. With over 80 achievements, of which the greater part have only been achieved by under 2% of all players, this game seems like a nightmare for achievement hunters. Apart from achievements for completing levels & gathering spaceship parts (fair enough!), there are lots and lots for finishing the levels within a certain time limit. These limits are set so extremely tight, that those achievements are only for the most stubborn gamers out there, or for these who figure out the wonky controls to perfection. People looking for another 100% game, definitely should skip this one, and it won't help in getting a good average completion rate either. But there's a fair chance anyone else can actually figure things out, and enjoy this game. It's just not my cup of tea, I guess. [b]Not recommended, unless you're very good at solving physics puzzles and have lots of patience[/b]
