About Bob Was Hungry
Bob Was Hungry is a challenging precision platformer with many levels designed to truly test your platforming skills.
Bobs have been scouring the universe for food for millions of years. For the most part, food had been plentiful and easy to acquire...planets made entirely of cheese were abundant, and finding one could leave a bob full for a lifetime. However, time has passed, and food has become scarce. Greedy bobs so carelessly ate two or three cheese planets at a time, and now cheese planets are as rare to find as a bob with a full stomach.
Bobs unable to stumble upon one of the last extremely rare cheese-havens were forced out into the unknown. Now they traverse as many planets as they can in hopes of finding a scrap of food to survive. Unfortunately, their trips are dangerous, and the planets are treacherous. Finding food is not like it used to be.
You play as one of these bobs, and it is up to you to find the meal that will finally satisfy your bob's insatiable appetite.
Play alone, or play online with up to 8-player co-op in four frantic multiplayer modes:

[h1] Super Meat Boy in 3D with some wonky looking graphics. Mostly average but level design is generally good for a platformer. The farther you go it gets more challenging and merciless. When fail you have to start from the beginning. [/h1]14 found this helpful
A good competative game to play with friends that makes me scream, Super cute blob.. fxxxing hate that its so damn hard and that all I play with are better than me and that I´m not patient enought to become good at it.

It’s a game that makes no attempt to hide its brutality, instead embracing difficulty as its defining feature. Beneath its simple art style and quirky premise lies a complex test of timing, precision, and perseverance. The idea is straightforward enough: you play as a small, round creature—one of several “Bobs”—who is desperately hungry and must journey through treacherous worlds in search of food. But while the concept sounds whimsical, the execution is anything but gentle. Every jump, dash, and landing in Bob Was Hungry requires split-second accuracy, and the margin for error is virtually nonexistent. The game opens with a deceptively simple tutorial that eases you into its basic controls—running, jumping, and dashing—but within minutes, it becomes clear that this is not a platformer designed to be friendly. Each level is packed with deadly hazards: spikes, blades, and moving platforms that demand perfect synchronization. The slightest miscalculation will send you back to th…1 found this helpful
