How To Play
Death...famine...pestilence...Maurice. That's how the apocalypse happened, in that specific order. A group of survivors are trapped in a dangerous place called the "splouch ouch that was lava" Hills.
Among them was bob. He promised to take them to the safe zone (he was probably lying to be honest). Using his white round thingy, an ancestor retrieval device, bob has the power to control his ancestor bob to help them in their perilous mission to find Maurice.

Absolutely love this game!
Very polished and responsive, nothing I could critic. I just wonder if Future Bob is okay
Loved this game! Really pleasing style/feel with smooth audio integration. Impressive work.
Awesome. What a clean game. Its seriously well executed. I had so much fun and awe playing this. Great work :D
Insanely clean game, brilliant job on the visuals & music swap feels incredible.
Impressive graphics, minimalistic and nice! also controls super good!
Love the general idea and atmosphere, so cool! Keep it up!
The level of polish and feel is insane! I think the theme is pretty loosely referenced, and the mechanics aren't super unique, but the game feel and completeness is very impressive. Congrats!
PS: I was able to break the game and get stuck by swapping characters during jumping in the lava.
Damn impressive, especially given that you were completely solo!
very cool, I was here!
HOllly shit, so cool, i wanna play more levels.
