Kid Bubblegum

About

Kid Bubblegum is an indie platformer where you play a kid armed with a slingshot that fires bubblegum instead of rocks. The game tasks you with navigating colorful levels filled with obstacles and alien enemies, combining jump-based platforming with projectile combat. Each level requires timing and precision to avoid hazards while using your gum to pop invaders or clear paths. The controls are straightforward but demand quick reflexes, especially during tighter sections that test your platforming skills. The game’s charm comes from its quirky art style and silly scenarios like squishing aliens with sticky bubbles. While the core loop of jump-shoot-repeat is familiar, the whimsical execution sets it apart. Released in late 2023 by Ohsat Games, it’s a short but brisk experience that leans into its absurd premise without overcomplicating things. The PC version runs smoothly and offers a lighthearted break for casual players looking to blow some bubblegum and fight space creatures.
