Puzzle Game Dumpy & Bumpy Now Available on Steam

I love puzzle games, as most of you know by now. However, I am always amused by unfortunate naming conventions, and puzzle games that mimic retro aesthetics. Dumpy & Bumpy is a new puzzle game with an unfortunate name that feels retro in a good way or at least looks that way.

Screenwave Media Games has joined together with developer Programancer to bring Dumpy & Bumpy’s 80 puzzle levels to new platforms since it is available on Steam. They will be working together on console ports in the near future. Here is what the press release has to say about Dumpy & Bumpy.

“Dumpy & Bumpy is a retro-style puzzle adventure, complete with 80 charming but challenging levels to bite, blow up, and break your way through. Play solo as Dumpy, or have a friend join you as Bumpy to crack each level’s code and crush the evil Ghostlord! But don’t take too long, or the Ghosts will take you!”

Features:

8 colorfully themed worlds, each containing 10 levels of varying objectives and hazards
Slide, lift, and throw blocks, dodge past danger, blow-up bombs, or breathe fire
Play 2P cooperatively, or mess with the other player
Separate VS Battle Mode
Replay levels to improve your high score or beat the Pro time
12 Steam Achievements to Unlock

I like the design and aesthetic of Dumpy & Bumpy, and Co-Op puzzle games like this are a great option for folks to play with kids, loved ones, or roommates. I think I might wait to see what platforms it comes on though. A switch version would be perfect for couch Co-Op. Until then, you can pick up Dumpy & Bumpy on Steam for $4.99 if you find yourself intrigued by the cute dino characters.
