Who hasn’t sat up at evening, pondering what it might be wish to play a musical cellular recreation about peanut butter and jelly, carried out in fake Shakespearean verse and animated within the model of Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python shorts? Effectively, surprise no extra: The absurdist PBJ – The Musical (first previewed at Day of the Devs ’24) heads to the App Retailer on March 26.
Kamibox’s PBJ – The Musical is a collaboration between studio founder Philipp Stollenmayer and English musician and comic Lorraine Bowen, well-known for the delightfully whimsical “The Crumble Tune.” “Once I noticed Lorraine acting on Britain’s Obtained Expertise in 2015, getting the Golden Buzzer from David Walliams, I knew I needed to make one thing along with her,” Stollenmayer stated. “The quirkiness of her songs completely resonated with the vibe of my video games,” which embrace Sometimes You Die and the thematically comparable Bacon – The Recreation.
PBJ – The Musical borrows components of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, mixing it with musical theatre (carried out principally by kids!) and animated paper landscapes from precise cutouts. (When he isn’t designing deceptively zany video games, Stollenmayer can also be a papercraft artist.) Peanut Boy, hailing from a black and white post-war America, steps in for Romeo, whereas Strawberry Woman, from a colourful and candy world that raves of royalty, tackles the sport’s equal of Juliet. You management characters by means of easy faucets and drags as you push and pull cutout figures by means of the diorama.
The developer says that, not like the Bard’s model, that is no tragic play culminating in twin suicides. (Or, at the very least, not the type to be unhappy about.) Kamibox says the sport’s glad ending includes — shock! — the creation of the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which a modern-day Shakespeare might have known as “The brightest heaven of invention” as he packed little Susanna’s lunchbox.
