PBJ: The Musical is a vibrant, music-filled journey through the kitchen. Players must tap, slide, and hold to the rhythm of an original funk and soul soundtrack to assemble the perfect sandwich. Along the way, you'll meet a cast of dancing ingredients and unlock new songs and costumes in this lighthearted and highly addictive rhythmic experience.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

82/100

PBJ: The Musical is hands-down the weirdest and most delightful rhythm game I've played this year. The premise of making a sandwich sounds mundane, but when it's set to a high-octane soul and funk soundtrack, it becomes an epic performance. The hand-drawn art style gives it a distinct 'indie cartoon' vibe that is dripping with personality.

The gameplay mechanics are varied; you aren't just tapping, you're spreading jelly and flipping bread in time with the music. It’s surprisingly challenging, but the humor keeps it from being frustrating. Watching a slice of bread do a backflip into a toaster to the sound of a horn section is a gaming memory I didn't know I needed. Highly recommended for fans of Parappa the Rapper.

Am I first to leave a review? YES! What should I talk about first? How about the songs? The songs are wonderful and always get stuck in your head. especially “catch that strawberry” and “peanut butter jelly sandwich.” “We’re having a party” is also pretty good too. Then there’s the gameplay. This game has different things that you can tap and swipe to move the strawberry. How about the story? It has an interesting story. I really like how you also snuck in some quotes from “Romeo and Juliet”. “THROW ME OH, THROW ME OH. WHEREFORE WILL YOU THROW ME OH?” And all that’s left to comment on are the remixes. I didn’t really care for the remixes. There will be some remixes that you will think are awesome, and some that will make you want to die. Everything’s great though. 9/10 🍓🥜

Such an amazing game!!! 🌸✨💫

Thanks for clicking on this review! Anyway, I’m a super big fan of anything and everything kamibox! So when I saw this game on the App Store, I just had to check it out! I was pleasantly surprised by how catchy the songs were, how smooth the game was, and the funny overall plot of the game! I love the addition that you can manually drag your character if needed (you can toggle this in settings), as it really helps the gameplay move along when it gets difficult! Honestly, the game was amazing from start to finish! I highly recommend anyone who has played kamibox games to download this app, and even to people who haven’t, this game is a perfect blend of music and gameplay, like peanut butter and jelly!

Super visuals and music!

Philip Stollenmayer has a very good sense of artistic choice. The objects are beautiful and the physics work well, and the music accompanies it perfectly. I will say this, though; if you are looking for a game, that’s not how I would describe this. It’s a story with great music that goes at your pace, unlike most of Kamibox’s other games that require skill, precision, or problem solving. I’m not citing that as a problem or weakness, just to anyone thinking of buying, consider that. It’s also pretty short, but amazing quality throughout, far from slop or simplicity. Would recommend!

Fun fact

So, if you look in the credits, no matter what, you’ll never find a remix, but you can get close. If you go to level ten (make sure that remix is off), switch to credits, then immediately click the remix button, then the bread in the toaster will become the bonus bread, but the remix button will have disappeared, and when you open the level, it will be the same as it always is. So if the devs read this, you should add a little secret for everyone else who found the glitch. Just an idea…

Wonderful game!

I’m a big fan of all of Philip Stollenmayers games, so when I took a look at some of his games and saw this beauty, I was eager for the release date. And let me tell you, I was wonderfully surprised. The gameplay is unique and fun and the music is absolutely gonna get stuck in your head. I still can’t stop singing it! And being a fan of Romeo and Juliet and other classics, I found it both original and just similar enough to remind me of those tales. Excellent job to everyone who worked other game!!

Worth every last dime!

I am a big fan of Bacon. And when I saw this I was like..A musical? No way! So I quickly bought it and played it! I loved the song and the kids voices, even the settings were fun! Though when I was playing it (I’m one to need breaks..) and I saved it EVERYTIME I played after that the game kept crashing. I restarted snd everything is great! I love how we get to move things ETC..my favorite musical from my favorite creators! Keep up the great work.🎊🎊🎊

Mostly awesome

I love this game. It gets a musical game right, mostly. The gameplay is where this is weakest. It’s not always clear what to interact with and in what way to progress. Overall, gameplay is secondary to the story and the songs. I smiled through the whole thing—even when it took me a few minutes to get unstuck. I’d love to see a sequel (grilled cheese?). I still highly recommend you play this game.
