Update 22nd July 08:48 AM: After an agonising wait, Bulb Boy has now launched on iOS for £2.29/$2.99.

As well as working through issues to launch their game on time, Bulbware have been working incessantly to fix a few bugs before launch day. In our review of the game we'd commented on the lighting being too dark at times, however with its newest update this issue is now apparently fixed.

Head over to iTunes now to pick up your copy of Bulb Boy for £2.29/$2.99 now.



This week we received some very exciting news from Bulbware stating that the award-winning Bulb Boy is coming to iOS, and shortly followed by Android, on the 21st July.

For those who haven't seen the first of its name on PC, Bulb Boy is an indie horror about a young boy with a glowing head. One night he wakes up to find that evil has overshadowed the Bulbhouse and he has to find his courage to save everything he loves.

A fairly standard point-and-click horror adventure, what really makes Bulb Boy stand out is its unique design and its use of light and dark to create the perfect atmosphere. It has the essence of a horror game with a cartoony/child-like flare that mirrors games like The Binding of Isaac.

With optimised game performance and sound, attentive touch-based interface and a new lighting system from its PC counterpart, Bulb Boy will hopefully be an excellent fit on the iPad and iPhone. We'll have to wait and see.

Head over to Bulbware's website now if you'd like to find out more about the company or check out the game's website here. Bulb Boy is so far due for release on the 21st July on iOS with Android coming shortly after.
