Bumper.io Reviews

by SuccubusMan

I love the concept of the game but there are a lot of flaws that if they would just fix/improve upon, this game could be huge. The first is the ability to have actual online multiplayer. The names they give each bot to imply that you are playing online are weird and cringey. You also start in the same places on each map which can get very repetitive. Also it says in the description of the game that there are popsicles that you can eat to get bigger but I haven’t seen that at all in my version. Another small thing is that when I’m killed by someone, the game tries to tell you which not you were killed by, but 90% of the time it’s wrong lol. I leveled up to master in one day and there’s just no levels beyond that so not really much of an incentive to keep playing. Great idea for a game and the mechanics are really good, but the overall execution is very subpar so if these things don’t get changed I’ll probably delete it soon.

This game is alright and all, and it would be great, but there is a really huge downfall. The games control system is flawed, it might be preferred by some people, but it could be a lot better if they allowed the user to keep there thumb in a general location like a joystick to move the bumper around so that there aren’t these crazy turns made thanks to the rectangular screen and so that the user’s thumb doesn't block their entire view of the bumper itself. And the option of ads to get a reward being given is acceptable, but forcing the user to watch the ad even after they hit skip so that they don’t have to is bizarre. At least mention that there is an ad. I’ll keep playing, but I’d like to see some changes very soon, otherwise I’ll be done with the game within the week.

The mechanics for this game are both confusing and completely worthless. Since you need to constantly be moving and turning, you’re constantly charging your rush move. This is fine, until you lift your finger off in the slightest and you go flying off on the other side of the map. Furthermore, the AI bots are almost impossible to knock off compare to the player. If the player is hanging off the edge even a little bit, you fall off and can’t recover. This would be fine if it was the same case for bots, but if you don’t land a freaking “home run” hit every single time, the bots just slowly pace themselves back into the arena. Overall, I would give this one star if not for the concept, but this game’s execution of that concept is disappointing, irritating and pretty sad. Maybe with a major update this game could be semi-functional but at the moment, it’s almost unplayable.

This game is pretty addicting once you figure out how to knock other balls off. It took me a while to figure out that the longer you hold down, the more power you have when you let off. Although, this can be a huge disadvantage if you don’t aim carefully. Through figuring this out, I also noticed a bug where, if you hit another ball too hard, it will launch it outside of the map; causing you to not get a kill, and the bot is technically still alive, so you can’t win at that point even if you knock the rest off. I also found out, that if you miss and launch too hard, you can fly off the map and keep falling into a never ending “abyss”, forcing you to close the game and re-open it(the only way I’ve found to restart). Now these are fairly minor bugs if you think about it, yes it can be a little annoying but since I’m at the current highest rank(Master 1) it’s not a huge deal to win or lose. Which brings me to another point; I feel like leveling up each time you win is sort of too easy, since there’s only 20ish ranks. Maybe add a points system for every kill and every win which will help you level, and also give you some kind of currency to buy different skins and whatnot. Regardless of the points of possible improvement to be made, I still enjoy it and will continue to play.

The game overall is pretty good, it’s your typical easily made game but it’s fun and addictive nether less. My problem however is the ads, the games typically take 10-30 seconds but almost 90% after a game you’re hit with a long add with a very tiny x you can’t hit, I get games like these having ads but if literally half the time you’re on Bumperio and you’re looking at ads is kinda ridiculous. One last problem I have is it’s very very laggy, I don’t have the greatest iPhone but all my other apps run fine, this ones just very chalky and hard. It doesn't make sense especially since this isn’t even an online game. The game is fun but I wouldn’t recommend downloading it for these reasons.

Okay first is the Ads. I don’t need an ad every time i play a round it’s super annoying. And since the game is offline i can just turn my wifi and data off and i can play without ads. So do less ads. Second is the game itself. So the levels do get harder which is good but it has lots of odd things i guess. So first is the characters if i get kicked to the edge i fall off no way to get on. But if another character gets thrown to the edge they get back which is super annoying. And second there is a glitch that just makes it so my character moves forward instead of moving around it’s not my phone it’s the game. Third the other characters get big within three seconds while i have to actually do work. I recommend u make a multiplayer version of this just so it’s better and more fair.

First of all, I love the concept of the game. The bumper car like standoff between you and the other players is exhilarating and fun. However, this game could be greatly improved with just one minor improvement: real life players. Every IO game has real life players from across the globe. Although this game pretends to do this by generating a handful of fake usernames, I was not fooled. Although IO games are slightly more fun with real life players, it’s still an ok game. It’s the choice of generated usernames that I don’t like. Many of them are EXTREMELY inappropriate, such as the player that beat me in the last game I played dubbed “dovakindupenis”. So the moral of my review is that the game should have REAL players instead of computer generated ones, and if they can’t do that, then they should at least take away the inappropriate names since they have the ability to.

This game advertises and presents itself as being an “online io game”, but that’s not true. You simply play against bots and this becomes noticeable after the first few games. The AI is not very good considering It’s just a bouncing object. Did I mention it’s riddled with ads? This a a cheap unity game with a very simple concept. The trees and water are downloadable assets. And really? The “devs” too lazy to implement multiplayer? Multiplayer is not hard to implement on a simple game like this. Typical Voodoo. Buying lazy games and pushing them out with a monetization sticker, making millions. However, I must admit this game is entertaining. It’s a game you don’t put time into while it’s instant and simple. It’s entertaining for a bus ride or short lengths. That’s what makes this game ok. It’s quick and simple entertainment.

Decent, simple concept. It’s a lot of fun even though it’s offline single player, and the maps are unique and effective for the type of game it is. However, it is very frustrating having an arbitrary level up system that doesn’t affect gameplay at all, and I often find myself out-sped or out-powered by balls both bigger and smaller than me alike. I can see how smaller balls would be faster, and bigger balls stronger and harder to push, but I get pushed back and off the side in one on one face offs against balls several kills smaller than me. Likewise, when I chase down bigger balls, they still pull away from me. I’m gold level and this is still happening. I’d be behind smart AI with better maneuvering than the player since it’s already hard to control with the touch screen, because that’s a challenge, but when every enemy is faster and stronger than you regardless of how many kills you get, it really ruins the point of the game. Get Bumperio if you’re really really bored and have beaten the rest of the games on your phone.

I got the game and played and liked it!...for about 50 minuets.☹️ya the game is way to easy to beat. I got to master1(the farthest you can go) and then was board. After that there is nothing to do. You know i played some more rounds but nothing happened.

Some things in the future i would like to see are some minor bug fixes(y’all have probably heard them enough I’m not goin to type em) and a point and money system. That would help a lot. So you have everything there is in the game when you open the game. It would be nice to have to buy skins. Maybe there could be power ups, i dunno🙄. And also it’s to easy to level up. You level up every time you win a round. Btw there’s not very many levels to go through, trust me i should know i beat the game in a few hours😎. Crap 💩 this is getting long. Just one more thing. I want PvP.

All in all it’s a decent game and it is pretty new. Hopefully you think about some of this stuff. Thanks so much. Keep up the good work😁😁😁😁. I’ll shut up now 🤫

I don’t wanna be Debbie Downer cause it’s a fun game and all but I have a problem with a few things. One is that it’s too easy. It took me about an hour of playing to get to the highest current level, master 1. I also have a problem with the fact that the game is offline and that all the bots have the same skin option wether your on bronze or masters. After I got to master 1 I had less of an urge to play considering I couldn’t level up, collect coins, unlock skins, beat a high score, etc. Its like I didn’t have a reason to play anymore. Yes the game has its problems but on the other hand it helps me with anxiety to push other balls off the platform. It is fun and quite satisfying if you have had a hard day at work or school. I highly encourage you to play even though it has some problems which is why I rate this a four.

by YourBoiJackattack

This game was really fun! ...for 30 minutes. I understand it’s an awesome cool fun concept and millions of people will probably play it even if it’s executed very poorly, but I think you should at least have made it a little longer lasting. I myself am a 24/7 pro gamer even at the age of 12 and am a master at .io games, so winning 19 times was way too easy considering how bad people are at these kinds of games nowadays. Because of this, I quickly reached Master 1 without playing for that long and was excited to see what the next big ranking was! I scored one final win AAAAAAAAANNNND...... nothing. That was it. Sorry kid, your fun time is over, go play something else now. This game needs some serious adding of the content. There’s no store with unique icons to buy, no special missions, NOTHING! I’ve won a few more times now but nothing has changed. This game is just completely pointless now. Even if you don’t add any of those things, AT LEAST make it so the max level takes like a thousand wins to reach. Please. Holy crap this review is long... um... anyway you get the idea, great game, too short. 4/5 stars.

I like this game very much. I like that the way to play is so easy and winning is fun. What i don’t like is that we can only do one thing. Compete. I want you guys to do maybe more maps and have the ability to play with friends. I don’t like how I have to play alone against people I don’t know. Maybe you guys can add bigger and more detailed maps and more people so we have a harder way of winning. So just more game modes which can make the game even more worth playing... in my opinion. It is really up to you if you want to download this game, but these are just my opinion on how they should update the game. If you like how easy the way to play is, you should download this very fun game!

This review is for all those people who feels like this is the worst game ever. Yes, this game is a basic game and it’s one that just came out. Any game that just starts up will always have bugs to work out and work towards adding new stuff to it. If none of you have figured this out yet, you live in a land of make believe. 99.9% of free games will have ads in them and if you don’t like it, turn on airplane mode or something like that. People complain about minute long ads on here, I have been able to close out of every ad within about 5-10 seconds, with most being 5 seconds. Sorry if you can’t figure that one out, life is already hard but if you can’t figure something that simple out, I am very sorry. If you have an issue with the fact that when you’re the same size as the other bot and you both push each other the same distance and it seems like a stalemate, try a different strategy (meaning, take a different approach at trying to knock the bot off). You’re not going to win every single time. It took me about half a day to get to master 1 (highest current level), so it’s not that hard.

There are some flaws to this game. Firstly it lags. A LOT. I usually play with my friends and sometimes the game just started and you just automatically fall off the map. You can also die when in the middle of a game, a commercial comes in while your playing, then you have a 90% chance you’ll die. Another thing is I think the levels should be higher because I am at the highest you can go (Which is Master 1), and I think you guys should update this. It isn’t significantly an issue, but I maybe got 7 more wins and it is still there. Will the wins go away? Will the wins go up to another level. At this point, I don’t really know this has to be fixed I believe. Other than that, I love this game! It’s a simple but pleasant concept and is very addictive. Almost always my friend asks can he play the game. So that is a good thing and good on you for that. That’s basically it lol

by DemonicGummy

This game is so simple yet so hard! You have think of strategies to knock bots off whilst not getting urself knocked off. Due to its release being fairly recent and it being a free game, I didn’t expect much but I loved this. Took me maybe two hours to get to Master 1 (highest current level) and I had so much fun throughout those two hours. This game has so much potential. Diverse gamemodes, higher levels, online multiplayer, custom matchmaking, and maybe even custom map design are things I think would make this game A1. Me personally would definitely buy the ad free if some of these features were added. Overall, great game with so much potential. I hope to see improvement devs ;)

by Yopydopy

This game was really fun at first but then eventually you figured out some strats that ruined the game. That is why there should be more modes like one where you don’t get bigger each time you knock someone off to make it equally difficult to each player and a mode with a weakness bar where you hit someone multiple times and they are super easy to knock off so the more you hit them the harder you hit. I am not trying to make the game into my personal one nor am I trying to tell the developers how to do their job but I just think these are some things needed to be added so that this wont be one of those games who get on Top free games once for one day and never get back on.

So when I first played this game I was blown away with how smooth it played. How do you get a multiplayer game this smooth on mobile? Then I turned my data/WiFi off and realized, oh that’s how. You aren’t really played my anyone at all but computer bumpers. Well, I can’t 100% confirm this, I think it is possible you might be playing a few other players, but mostly AI. With data off, all AI.

With that said, the game is addicting and pretty fun, the AI is done very well, although if it were all real players it would be a lot harder if it were ranked.

There is tons you can do to this game to improve it, but it’s a Voodoo game, so that means it’s a quick game for a profit, I don’t anticipate any major changes. Either way it’s fun, try it out.

Overall this game is fun but the amount of adds can be kind of annoying. Every time a round gets finished you have to watch an add. I understand the need of adds when it comes to free games but a lot of game makers make the mistake of putting in too many. Some games I have downloaded in the past have no adds unless you want to revive, and they were free. Others such as this one put in way to much adds making it almost impossible to really enjoy the game. after a while you do get used to it, but it still isn’t fun watching so many adds. Other than that I think this game is great and would recommend. My review stays at 3 stars until something is done about this.

by M&M Lover 121

So this game is AMAZING and I haven’t really experienced anything anyone else is saying about the game that’s horrible but one thing was I won and they were like so and so out done HIMself and I was like “Wait no I mean I’m a girl!!!” I don’t think that’s right for them to say just himself and I know it’s probably easier for them to do that but I don’t think it’s right so if y’all could change that thing this game would be all around amazing but it’s happened before and I really don’t like that. I mean it’s not enough for me to want to delete the game but it is hard to ignore.
