Wobbly arms, serious puzzles
Every level is a playground where almost anything can be grabbed, dragged, stacked or smashed. You steer Bob's left and right hands separately, so pulling a lever sounds simple until your legs are dangling off a ledge.
You push a boulder onto a catapult, pry a lock off a door with a rock, or smash through glass with whatever is lying nearby. Levels offer more than one route, so the neat solution and the daft shortcut both count if you reach the exit.
Better with friends grabbing you
Solo works, but the game comes alive with other Bobs. Online play fits up to 8 players, with split screen for sofa sabotage, and many puzzles are built for an extra pair of hands.
You try to haul a friend up a wall and end up holding their head instead. You carry a box together, then someone lets go at the wrong moment. Hindering each other tends to become the main event, and that is exactly the point.
Dreams that keep changing shape
Each dream is its own place: mansions, castles, Aztec ruins, snowy mountains, eerie night scenes, industrial yards, plus the Jail level with its walkways, platforms and security systems to dodge on the way to the chopper.
Once you finish the official dreams, there is always another strange construction to fall off.
Dress Bob for the fall
Bob is yours to customize from head to toe, with outfits from builder to chef, skydiver, miner, astronaut and ninja, plus your own choice of colours.
Picking a hard hat before face-planting off a castle wall at least means you fall with intent. The look is bright and simple, the mood stays light, and every failure resets fast enough to try something sillier.
Good to know?
How does co-op actually play?
You and up to 7 other Bobs share the same dream, solving puzzles together or, more often, dragging each other off them. Extra hands help with heavy boxes, catapults and walls that need breaking, but every grab is a chance to drop your friend into the void. Split screen makes the betrayal nicely personal.
Is it hard to control?
Yes, on purpose. Bob steers like a tired toddler, with separate grabs for each hand and a lot of dangling. Learning the basics takes minutes, while flips and slick climbing tricks give skilled players room to show off. Expect to trip over your own feet before you feel clever.
What do you actually do in a level?
You find the exit by climbing, carrying, stacking, lever-pulling and light demolition across mansions, mountains, factories and stranger dreams. There is usually a sensible path plus shortcuts and alternate routes, so ingenuity is rewarded. Or you can just cling to a swinging object and hope.
How much is there to play?
Plenty. The game has grown with free levels over the years, now into the thirties with additions like Jail, and you can jump between dreams in any order.
