Gumby Vs. The Astrobots is one of those weird little GBA games that somehow works. You play as Gumby—yes, the green clay guy—jumping and stretching through these blocky, alien-infested levels to rescue his buddies. The controls take a second to get used to (his stretchy arms feel kinda floaty at first), but once you figure out the timing, bouncing off enemies and grabbing ledges becomes oddly satisfying.

It’s got that classic early 2000s platformer vibe—bright colors, simple but tough level design, and a soundtrack that’s either charming or grating depending on how long you’ve been stuck on the same screen. Not gonna lie, some of the later stages get brutal with the robot swarms, but beating them gives that old-school "finally!" rush. If you’re into quirky retro platformers, this one’s a fun time.
