With my old phone, this used to be a go-to app for some fun puzzle solving, boss fighting and "turn-based" combat. Now however, it's just a waste of a bunch of space in my phone, it doesn't even launch on newer systems it seems. I loved Binding of Isaac so much, to see Bumbo go down as an unrunnable app for almost no reason it seems.
Love the game but 2 REALLY huge issues which I doubt they'll fix unfortunately. 1) can't save or sign in to Google play so it makes even wanting to play this pointless. And 2) touch controls make it so that you may accidentally place your piece in a location you didn't mean to with no way to undo or lock in instead of just automatically locking in as soon as you take your finger off the screen. If they ever fix these I will update my review and play on mobile but until then just play on PC
Same problems other reviewers have had for years haven't been fixed. Screen is too dark during end turn screen, too easy to make mistakes with touch screen, and you lose your current game if you need to do anything else on your phone. Otherwise a fun game but these issues make the experience frustrating.
