GameBob

GameBob is a mini-game compilation and design video game developed by Polar Inc. exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The game allows players to make games, animations, comics and other stuff (by using the game creator). It is bundled with Party Tem. The game comes with a tablet-like device called the GameBob Tablet (which has a 24x12 pixel screen with five buttons - including the on/off one) which allows users to program pixelated games/animations and create other stuff using simple coding. Games made by other users can be downloaded for free without a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The GameBob Tablet can be connected wirelessly to the Switch, by a cable to a laptop or computer or (also wirelessly) to a tablet. The computer/laptop/tablet modes can be used to code games if you don't have a Switch (the GameBob tablet is therefore sold separately) by using the GameBob page on the Temmie Central website where there is also lesson plans if teachers wish to use the device to teach coding in lessons. The educational version disables the ability to download games. While the GameBob tablet only allows pixelated games/animations/coded stuff, the Nintendo Switch version allows you to draw out your games/animations/comics as well as pixelating them (this unfortunately means comics are removed from the website version but you do get to code the device). It is worth mentioning the GameBob Tablet can't be edited unless connected to any of the devices mention. The device in question can store up to 100 mini-games where as games on the Switch can store up to 500. Despite the GameBob Tablet having a 24x12 pixel screen, four pixels can be put inside a pixel and four pixels can be put in one of them and etc. This method is used to make really detailed pixelated games. GameBob recieved critical praise upon release, with the game creators on both hardware simple and easy to understand and yet can make really powerful games.
