Ren'Py - Bumpkin Boy's Bizarre Adventures [v0.15] [Frozen Sugar Cubes]

Just no, game starts of by telling you the content in the game is based on user/player choices, so in other word a choice driven game.... but the thing is that there is no choice......first girl MC meet is the town whore and MC is more then happy to accept a blowjob and fuck her, and you cant do a damn thing about it as the player so choice driven game not even close, you cant even choose who you want to fuck, so game got ruined 10 after 10 mins play, what can i say, good job?

Story is only a mess with alot of memes and fails at trying to be funny constantly, MC feels like an idiot and yet LIs trows them selfs at him even though MC dosent deserve a single LI, text is poorly written with alot of mistakes or missing words.

Game is filled with stuff being forced on MC, just going into a toilet will force you to use a gloryhole since you cant exit before doing so.

Next your given i dunno 7 or 8 choices in a scene but only one works?
Next you get 3 choices where to go, all 3 the same....

Tried sandbox and VN modes and VN is even worse, there is pretty much nothing but text and barely any choices and ofc the few there wont matter, plenty of LIs forced on you none stop.

Animations are average for this type of characters.

Music is as fun as listening to elevator music.

Got to say i expected soooo much more from this game.

This is about the dumbest thing I have ever played. It’s basically a 13 year old’s idea of what having sex is like: non-stop memes, guys who get laid despite their best efforts to be as idiotic and unattractive as you can possibly imagine, and a world where nothing really makes any sense. This is highlighted by the main character starting the story by leaving his small town “to get a proper education”, which considering he’s clearly a young adult should mean going to college, but it’s just high school. Don’t they have schools where he’s from, and if not, how did he manage to get enrolled into high school in the first place… especially considering how incredibly dumb and ignorant he is?

Additionally, it’s really hard to describe the Gameplay Style for this game… because it’s a mess. When the game starts it asks you if you want to play in Visual Novel or Sandbox mode. I imagine that if you select Sandbox mode it will stick to that (although I haven’t tried, because… why would anyone want to subject themselves to it?), but selecting Visual Novel shows how inconsistent this game is. The game starts as a typical Visual Novel… then at some point becomes a minor Sandbox game where you need to select rooms… then it asks you again if you want VN or Sandbox mode, at which point if you select VN Mode it basically plays like Kinetic Novel, with no more choices for the longest time. Eventually I just gave up on suffering through a bad game, so I have no idea if it starts showing choices again, but I can’t say I care to find out.

At least the words are usually correctly spelled. That’s this game’s best feature.

okay game, kinda zany and quirky and not very memoriable. cgs are good and writing is okay. The character design is amazing, it's not a regular render, these characters look like someone you might meet in your neighborhood, which is awesome

.

I like spatial rendering, it's simple but conveys what is needed, I guess this rendering strategy will reduce rendering time, which is great and also gives a unique touch to the game

Pretty standard game at first glance but once you get into it you can be pretty surprised, animations are sublime and characters can be easily differentiated. The occasional humour is never out of place and the story is really well made so far. That's definitely a game to play when you have spare time. Also the fact that you can choose between the visual novel and sandbox mode is just

This review is based on the v0.14 or Episode 1 end:
It's a nice game to play and enjoy the comedy (but sometimes pretty dumb). I especially like this type of graphic games. The storyline is smooth and not much twists as of now. I suggest you to play in Visual novel mode to get through the content without delay. Some of the characters/models are really good looking

In simple words "Just go for it". Now a days it's becoming a challenge to find good games when you've played most of the games.

Overall Gameplay - 4.5/5

(This game certainly have potential and the story is falling into pieces slowly. I will update the review for the upcoming versions and going to write a more detailed review at the end of the game.)

Game version 0.14

Didn't expect nothing, so I was very pleased by how good this game actually is.

The story is good, the women are no cockslaves (so far), the MC is NO shallow character just acting like a living dick- which is quite rare, sadly.
Another rare thing is, that I like the subtle humor in this game- 99% of the other games are just cringeworthy.

I haven't played through the current version yet, but I will for sure. AND I will follow this game for further development.

EDIT: Oh no..cringe about dumb humor is there, it got in in the end. Which is a bad thing, because it kills most of the good atmosphere and doesn't work well with the MC (except this "floor is made of.. floor"-thing, which was funny ONCE, but not again and again..).
I just wished it wasn't there. Please reduce this mess in the coming content, dev. You do not have to do it, no.

[ Review subject to change. Review for version 0.13 ]

I dropped the game because of the persistent memeing. The sex scenes and character models are very good, the story was average and the constant unseriousness from the protagonist ripped me out of the experience and made me wonder why the women are interested in him.

I can recommend playing it but I suggest playing on visual novel mode over sandbox to get you to the meat of the game quicker.

I will play it again when it is further along development.

I do enjoy this game, especially the humor. Although early works are a bit rough, latter ones are really good. Considering it is probably the dev team's first work, they really make a great piece. I can't wait to see the end of BBBA and the dev's next work.

Some attractive characters and I wanted to like the game, but the "story" is a random mess that tries too hard to be funny. It ain't enjoyable playing as guy with 5 brain cells that's constantly doing lame ass meme shit. Maybe this games better when drunk...?

I can't recommend this.

Greatly improved since the last time I played.
There's an option for VN play which seems like a functional alternative to the sandbox.
The sandbox is effective enough, it could do with a more balanced event schedule. The money grind isn't the worst, but it gets bad as the first job time overlaps with other events. As well there four buttons to click to go through the primary convenience store job. Either halved prices, or a job shortcut button would solve this.

The comedy is a little juvenile at times, the floor is truly floor, this is a blackboard. It's slightly over prevalent, but its not a great detractor.

The 18+ scenes *chef's kiss*, great diversity of characters, outfits and scenarios work very well.

Characterization of characters could do with work--asking for a lot from a porn game, but shoot for the moon and all that-- there's not much character development, the characters are almost all distinct characters personality wise, but there's little depth to them. Some more one on one would be nice; more romantic character development in a comedy focused porn game would be appreciated.
Overall I like it a lot. A lot.

For V.10
The game has improved since the last time I played. The story isn't bad, the girls are good-looking, a lot of the things are very funny (the dev has a good sense of humor). There are lots of content and render which are good. unfortunately, I believe the focus on the girl's story development isn't that great. A lot of them have no story and are just easy fuck. Moreover, the MC is way too stupid which I really don't like.

Im gonna give it 2 stars just because the first hour or 2 the game has good writing and memes that make the game interesting and funny. IT is a 4 or 5 stars until you discover that it is not what you expected.

There are some easy girls here and there provide some easy sex outside the other girls default progress of handjob blowjob thing. Thats how it is, it is boring, predictable, repetitive, but it is what it is. That keeps expectations in check.

It creates interest showing the girls, but it doesnt build up anything really. Most of the times the MC is retarded, there are scenes with girls that couldnt get any sexual content, like Clementine that finally get some sex, after some stupid meme scene where the MC doesnt seem to look interested at all, which is THE WORST THING. At this point you already seen quite a lot and know that expectations were just that.

Sex scenes are default, most scenes are not hot, they are more like asset showcase, and honey select animations over and over again...
The become repetitive, sex talk the same, some events are not even halfway where they should be, still they are started, but right now they end nowhere. Some events you think they will be part of the story, but once they end, its over, for instance Clementine working at tue store. Once you complete her events she never goes back to the store.


There are, I guess, 1000 fanservice upskirts, if you are 13 in Asia, that may work i dont relaly know, but in 2021 in Europe i think that shit should be removed, cause most of them MC doesnt have the angle to see them, only the player. Which is an implicit 4th wall breaking in my opinion, besides being fucking ridiculous.

The Loli patch actually allows you to go shopping with some young looking girl, not even a phootoshoot.

Its a bit of a mess, not really bad, but in te actual state its poor. If you are not looking for ponr, or complex character development, and you play while smoking marijuana, the game may be hilarious.

Edit:
After a year the main characters are still useless in the game, nothing. I dont know why some devs keep doing this. They create a setup, a household with protagonists, and they switch the focus to the side characters.
The use of "its dinner time" stopped beig funny after the first time, seeing being used after 1 year only makes me think that the dev or writers kind of don't give a shit about writing something decent and just make everything a meme. Jokes are funny in the right context, and in the right amount, but usually I dont like having my expectations subverted in a way that I have already seen.
If the creators would bother actaully making a effort of creating sifferent scenearios o reasonsas to why the MC stops interacting with some girl, I will be happier. Seeing the overused trope of "convenient interruption" makes me mad.
After not playing for a year I was expecting something different but the game is still trapped in groundhog day, and I hate repetitiveness, unles it comes from me (LoL) Thats why I will lower the orginal 2 stars to 1.
Putting up with the insane amount of bloom is already enough.

Unique for the genre because of the humor and references, though they can be a little abundant at times. Only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the photo hunting is one of the most cancerous things ive done in one of these games, not because the idea is bad but because the menu system is poorly designed for such a task. You have to click through 8 different menus each "day" and the chance for failure skyrockets when trying to get the mythics. Really needs a "skip day" button that lets you stay on current screen with current time.
Edit: Discovered that quick save/quick load scumming solves this issue, changing it from a flaw to minor annoyance. Keeping it at 4 stars because you can tell a great game *could* be here but only the foundations exist for it. I think the game was much better when it was a linear VN rather than a sandbox game. Enjoyment fell off once it became sandbox.
Edit 2: After making this review the devs increased photo taking chances and made improvements. While the issue still persists and I believe save scumming is still the way to go the fact they quickly responded to the issue is making me bump this up to a 5. Devs responding to issues should be the standard so applause to theseguys.

This review was made using v0.5 as base and is subject to change as new versions come out. This was made using my personal preferences and may or may not differ from yours.
• Be informed that I haven't played through the entirety of this version yet.
A more detailed review can be found at the bottom.

PROS

• Good looking girls
• Smooth animations
• A storyline somewhat interesting (but also a bit empty)

CONS

• Some renders could greatly improve.
• Transitions are really fast
• Sandbox is confusing and non intuitive
• Lack of a quest/sidequest menu
• Girls nipples are really bright and in some scenes theirs skin are way to glossy/shiny.
• Story is okay however at some points it feels forced or to much unrealistic.
• Waayy to many references.

Detailed:

In conclusion:
The game is really nice however due to the problems mentioned above it became frustrating and boring really fast. However if you don't mind such problems you will enjoy the game.
I recommend you give this game a try and come up with your own conclusion.

Good Points
+ Story feels pretty interesting but plot is kind of empty.
+ Animations have nice FPS value and their physics looks good aswell.
+ Some of girls looks pretty hot.

Bad Points
- First versions render and animation quality was pretty bad, its bacame better with new updates but first parts of game is still same.
- Story and plot need more content and detail, yeah you are making interesting details about new things but main plot still feels empty.
- DEV is little bit weird guy... Instead of fixing bad points he crates new bad points... Like making game sandbox without any walkthrough and tips... Yeah... Cool...

For The End
That's not bad game but needs a lot of improvements and fix for bad points, if DEV manage to fix bad points i gues it could be 4 star rate game, i wish he can do that, still i cant say he is not improving his game, its became better since first relases and thats why im giving 3 star rate and if we had half stars maybe i would even give 3.5 star.

Review for v0.2

It's a decent game so far. I really want to give it 4 stars, but there's nothing here that's really stand out.

Writing: 4/5 - there's mistakes here and there but it's more english than Engrish so I count that as a win. Also the floor jokes were funny so it gets a bit of a bump for that.

Story 3/5: So far it's your typical guy staying with a friend of the family in order to go to school story. It's really in the beging stages so not much to talk about.

Characters 3.3/5 - The characters are fine. They seem to have distinct personalities which aren't over the top. Though you don't really learn much about them in these first two versions. Other than that one of the daughters is more proactive and sexually open than the other. Also the main character is a nice simple guy who can't keep his eyes to himself. It's basic level stuff, but it's better than a lot of games.

renders 3.5/5: I've seen better Honey Select renders. It's not bad at all, but it won't blow you away. The character models themselves are decent though and the dev takes time to render NPC's to fill out a scene so that's appreciated.

Sexy scenes 3.5/5: The animations strangely seem to have better render quality than any of the still shots, which is a plus. But so far all the sex scenes have been voyeur stuff so it's kinda eh. Just a little bit to whet your appetite.

Overall enjoyment 3.5/5 - It's decent but there's not enough here to really hook me. I'll probably wait a few updates before playing again, even though I think the dev could easily make this into a 4 star game with more content. There's just nothing currently stand out to the game that warrents that 4 star in my opinion.
