The story unfolds through ten musical numbers, charming handmade stop-motion animation, amateur Shakespearean voice acting, and interactive elements. By dragging and dropping story components, each playthrough offers a unique interpretation. Guide your peanut and strawberry lovers through this unconventional reimagining of a classic tale.
A Quirky Delight (or Not?)
The game's quirkiness is undeniable. Whether you'll enjoy PBJ - The Musical hinges on your tolerance for the unconventional. The evident effort invested is intriguing, and its reception on iOS remains to be seen.
In the realm of mobile musicals, PBJ - The Musical shares some similarities with Adventures of a Cat in Space, albeit with a different thematic focus. While PBJ reimagines Shakespeare, Adventures of a Cat in Space centers on, as the title suggests, a cat's space adventure.
