Okay, so Gumby Vs. The Astrobots is one of those GBA games that feels like it was made just to mess with you—in a good way. You’re this stretchy green dude running through these weirdly charming claymation levels, dodging robot goons and bending yourself into shapes to squeeze past obstacles. At first, I kept forgetting Gumby could stretch mid-jump, which led to some very avoidable pit deaths.

The Astrobots are these little metallic jerks that pop up everywhere, and half the fun is figuring out whether to squish them or just bounce over their heads. The puzzles aren’t brain-melting, but they’re just tricky enough to make you pause—like when you have to twist Gumby into a bridge or a ladder to get somewhere. And yeah, the whole thing looks like it was ripped straight from the old TV show, all wobbly and bright.

It’s short, kinda silly, and exactly what you’d want from a Gumby game. If you’ve got a soft spot for weird retro platformers, this one’s a solid time.
