IF you're not down with Mommy's Best Games, I don't know what to do with you. Bumpy Grumpy has an almost eerie authenticity to it, to where I'd almost expect it's a real emulated arcade machine. The gameplay is simple and hooks you in (I've got three hours in it already) and it really nails the pacing and play-style of the mid 80s arcades (I know, I was there) -- I did go hunting for Cryptids, but I don't think there's much beyond the ??? ending. Don't expect a Frog-Fractions style subversion where it suddenly becomes a dating sim. This is just a simple, honest tribute to gaming's heritage from a genuinely talented and creative demo team, like when a filmmaker makes a black and white silent film with a modern flare. AND IT'S FUN AS FRICK!

10/10

Awesome 80's arcade game that unfortunately never saw a major release worldwide, Now, in 2024, it's instantly become one of my all time favorites.100% reflex based gameplay with no memorization as enemy and item placement are completely random, Add in the well thought out scoring system and you can easily place BG at the top of the crop for score chasers.

Would of definitely pumped tons of quarters into this cabinet back in 1983.

I first got to play this gem of a game at Magfest 2024. Me and some buddies saw the arcade machine in the indie arcade section while at the con merch tent, we joked about the name because it was eye catching. Next thing i know I was addicted to the game, we were constantly going down at random times at night drunk off our butts playing the game, I got into a high score contest with another player at the con. I would set the high score than he would this went on all weekend. Now I have the game at home and I've already started my climb! Currently number 2 on the leader boards, but I'm going to keep pumping that score up. This game is a high speed high scoring coin munching style arcade classic that would have fit right in at any old arcade. I'm going to keep playing it anytime i have down time, Tell everyone I can about it and heck might even build a physical Cabinet out for my favorite Barcade. If you're not plying this game you're missing out
