Sometimes, a game's title can tell you everything you need to know. Take "Vampire Survivors," for instance—it's all about surviving against vampires (or at least their minions... okay, maybe not the best example). But then there are titles like "PBJ - The Musical" that leave you scratching your head and craving more information.
Freshly released on iOS and developed by Philipp Stollenmayer, "PBJ - The Musical" is exactly what it sounds like—a musically-themed game. But it's not just any game; it's a hand-animated adventure that puts a whimsical spin on "Romeo & Juliet," with a strawberry and peanut butter taking center stage.
While the premise might still seem a bit bewildering, "PBJ - The Musical" offers more than just a quirky story. It's a puzzler with obstacle course gameplay set to a fully orchestrated soundtrack. Players can even discover new remixes of the extensive soundtrack, adding to the musical experience. The game's visuals are crafted in a charming paper craft-style, making it a visually delightful journey.
"PBJ - The Musical" is banking on its unique concept to draw in players, and its intriguing premise certainly does the job. After seeing some of the gameplay, it's clear that this game might be a bit of a Marmite release—you'll either love it or hate it. It seems tailored more for kids, with its on-rails puzzle style encouraging players to sit back and enjoy the ride, the music, and the frankly absurd story.
This fun new release is definitely worth checking out if you want to stay "Ahead of the Game" with what's hitting mobile platforms. Be sure to visit our regular feature of the same name to see what's coming soon to iOS and Android.
