Who hasn’t sat up at evening, pondering what it could be prefer to play a musical cell recreation about peanut butter and jelly, carried out in fake Shakespearean verse and animated within the fashion of Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python shorts? Properly, 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 Song.” “Once I noticed Lorraine acting on Britain’s Acquired Expertise in 2015, getting the Golden Buzzer from David Walliams, I knew I wished to make one thing together with her,” Stollenmayer mentioned. “The quirkiness of her songs completely resonated with the vibe of my video games,” which embody 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 largely by kids!) and animated paper landscapes from precise cutouts. (When he isn’t designing deceptively zany video games, Stollenmayer can be a papercraft artist.) Peanut Boy, hailing from a black and white post-war America, steps in for Romeo, whereas Strawberry Lady, from a colourful and candy world that raves of royalty, tackles the sport’s equal of Juliet. You management characters by easy faucets and drags as you push and pull cutout figures by 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 joyful ending includes — shock! — the creation of the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which a modern-day Shakespeare could have referred to as “The brightest heaven of invention” as he packed little Susanna’s lunchbox.
