The Bum is a tragic story of oppression and revenge, the sockpuppet with connected bum likes playing with his football in the yard and then he gets bullied. You cause some chaos to get your revenge on the bully and solve a lot of fun puzzles along the way. The writing is very funny, lots of jokes in there. Sometimes the goals of the game are not as clear as they could be and switching mouse modes to get from one screen to another is very annoying but that are the only downsides to the game from back in 2012. The graphics are great and very detailed, I love all those things to click around on in the shop. The game has its own unique style and is very charming to look at. The animations also work really well (could be more though...) and the music and soundeffect work really well as well, but partly because it uses copyrighted sounds and especially music, but it seems that I can leave it in for the longplay...
