Gumboy: Crazy Adventures Download PC

Gumboy: Crazy Adventures is a physics-based platformer released over Steam in 2006. It was developed by a Czech developer CINEMAX, Ltd. GameTunnel gave the game a Game of the Year 2006 award.

Gameplay

In Gumboy, the player controls the rotation of a physically simulated ball. You move around large, abstract levels by spinning, completing various goals and collecting powerups. Powerups can modify the shape of the Gumboy (for instance, turning him into a star), change the material of Gumboy (into gum, air, or water), or give the Gumboy special powers, such as the ability to stick to level features. In most levels, the Gumboy must acquire the magnetism powerup, which allows him to repel objects, and then guide objects to an NPC creature.

Gumboy Tournament

In May 2008, a sequel was released titled Gumboy Tournament. The main addition to this game was multiplayer, both locally and online for up to nine players.

Reception

The game was generally well received by critics. Hyper's Tim Henderson commends the game for being "original, charming and incredibly atmospheric". However, he criticised it for "some moments of frustration".
