Robo-Review: The Adventures of P.B. Winterbottom



The Adventures of P.B. Winterbottom is a one trick pony that menaces you with grueling puzzles and pie.


The goal of the game is to feed P.B. Winterbottoms lust for delicious pies that are scattered throughout the world. PB Winterbottom must solve puzzle after puzzle using clones in order to get his plump, greedy self some pies.


The puzzles start off easy at first, but grow harder and more diabolical as they come. they start from simply platforming to the desired pie to creating as many as six clones in order to progress. The gameplay is fun, but the fact that all you can do is create clones that copy your actions seems a little dissatisfying. There is potential to equip Winterbottom with enough power to feed the hungry man, but not make it look like a clone of such titles as the classic Prince of Persia or Braid.

The adventures of PB Winter bottom is wonderful game that was created by a creative group of college students and worth a playthrough.
