$19.99Bum Simulator Pigeons, Cardboard and Chaos
Bum Simulator puts survival crafting in a shopping cart and pushes it downhill. You scavenge Bumsville for scrap, process it into upgrades, grow vegetables in pots, upgrade your pigeon coop, and turn a cardboard shelter into a defended, self-sustaining base that rival bums want to raid.
Is Bum Simulator worth it?
Bum Simulator is worth it if…
- you like survival crafting games with a short, silly progression loop
- you want base building that goes from cardboard shelter to fortified garden
- you find weaponized pigeons and ground-found cocktails funny, not gross

From cardboard box to defended bum base
You start with trash and a patch of pavement. You collect scrap and materials, process them, then spend them on base upgrades and expansions, moving from cardboard toward wood and metal.
Food is practical: build pots, plant vegetables, and stop digging through bins for every meal. Need muscle? Recruit other bums to haul scrap for you. And build defenses, because rival bum gang raids are inevitable. It is a real loop — gather, craft, expand, defend — just with a shopping cart named Carl as your mobile inventory.
Survival tools with questionable hygiene
Your weapons are what you found on the ground. You mix alcohol with street finds to make powerful mixtures, then drink them for a boost if you dare, or throw them at enemies for a devastating effect.
Then there are the pigeons. You throw them at people to cause panic, upgrade them with explosives, and work toward the fully upgraded pigeonado skill. A better coop means stronger birds, so crafting feeds directly into chaos. For survival crafters who like their progression loud and slightly sticky, this is the payoff for all that scavenging.
Good to know before you move to Bumsville?
Does it have a story or is it pure sandbox?
It has an actual storyline with quests and plot twists. You meet mutant sewer rat people, a clown with a hook for a hand, and a bored rich man who pays you to punch strangers, all fully voiced.
What is Carl?
Carl is your shopping cart. He carries your stuff around Bumsville as a mobile inventory, and the game insists he is also your best friend.
How does the city work?
Bumsville is an open first-person city of alleys, streets, parks, and subways to roam, with main and side quests marked on the map, rival bases to conquer, and collectibles and secrets tucked around.
