What Makes PBJ – The Musical Stand Out
Imagine Romeo and Juliet… but it’s Peanut Butter and Jelly? This handcrafted musical game tells the badly researched story of the iconic sandwich’s tragic origins.
Join peanut boy and strawberry girl on their journey across animated paper landscapes, to the music from famous Crumble Lady Lorraine Bowen – and unlock spinoff remixes from different artists!
· A unique soundtrack, composed and performed with live instruments specifically for the game.
· 10 unlockable remixes from different artists – Can you find them all?
· Multiple accessibility options, like a magic rubber band helps you through the levels. It’s a game for everyone!
· Hundreds of paper figures that have been cut out and animated by hand
· Real children (and a few grown-ups) performing.
· Quirky characters and sceneries full of details to discover.
This Music game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We havent ever played a game like this one. It was so amazing and we think these songs could go on broadway if you took the time to write dialogue in between songs. Very entertaining and brings us back to our childhood watching amazing world of gumball. Its good though.
That was the best game Ive ever played besides our favorite food is peanut butter and jelly so thank you for creating this masterpiece.
Thanks for clicking on this review! Anyway, Im a super big fan of anything and everything kamibox! So when we saw this game on the App Store, we just had to check it out! We were pleasantly surprised by how catchy the songs were, how smooth the game was, and the funny overall plot of the game! We 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! We highly recommend anyone who has played kamibox games to download this app, and even to people who havent, this game is a perfect blend of music and gameplay, like peanut butter and jelly.
It never gets old its amazing and u can always play.
This was very good and we will son enjoy a peanut butter jelly sandwich because of this.
This story was amazing probably the best story of the decade.
So, if you look in the credits, no matter what, youll 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.
Wow ! This game a musical about a strawberry girl and a peanut boy .. Coming together to make a pb and j sandwich ! Who knew it could be so A W E S O M E !!!! We would rate this 6 stars if we could ! This is SO fun to play . We love how you get to move the characters / pieces around ! And , as a theater kid , we absolutely love how this is a musical haha ! :] very fun to play overall ! Some parts we dont like about it are that : sometimes its hard to move the characters / pieces to the right spot , and sometimes its hard to know where / what youre supposed to do . Also , the game keeps crashing on us !! :[ we think we should be able to save the game for later , instead of it restarting . Anyways , aside from those , this is awesome ! For any people who love musicals or pb&js , we recommend you download this game . Worth . Every . Last . Penny !! Thanks , developers , for this wonderful project ! Edit: yeah , this game definitely has a bug in it . When we get to level 6 and play it for like a minute , the game crashes on us . We tried restarting our ipad last night , and it didnt work , then we just installed the new ipad software update , and it didnt work either . Please fix this !!! :[.
This is a really good game but when we get to level 6 the app kicks us out of the game so pls fix this problem but still a really good and fun and cool game.
Best purchase Ive ever made on our phone YEAH.
A game about pb&j a Romeo and Juliet musical? What a great crossover! We deserve more music-type games.
We love the game the only thing you have to buy is the game other than that your good yes there is no ads we been playing this game all day and have not seen one single ad the kids voices are so cute we love this game its a good game you need it.
We are crying over this game somehow.
The game was fun, but it was very glitchy on act 6 7 and 8 the remixes are fun and not glitchy, but please please fix act 6 7 and 8.
We really like how the style was inspired by both little big planet and Monty python.
This game is amazing even though Im allergic to peanuts! At first we had technical issues but the developer was very helpful about the situation, and now everything is working smoothly. Thank you for everything, we absolutely love your game.
Im a big fan of all of Philip Stollenmayers games, so when we took a look at some of his games and saw this beauty, we were eager for the release date. And let us tell you, we were wonderfully surprised. The gameplay is unique and fun and the music is absolutely gonna get stuck in your head. We still cant stop singing it! And being a fan of Romeo and Juliet and other classics, we found it both original and just similar enough to remind us of those tales. Excellent job to everyone who worked other game.
Great game! Our whole family loved it.
Amazing life changing experience.
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. We will say this, though; if you are looking for a game, thats not how we would describe this. Its a story with great music that goes at your pace, unlike most of Kamiboxs other games that require skill, precision, or problem solving. Im not citing that as a problem or weakness, just to anyone thinking of buying, consider that. Its also pretty short, but amazing quality throughout, far from slop or simplicity. Would recommend.
Am we first to leave a review? YES! What should we 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. Were having a party is also pretty good too. Then theres 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. We 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 thats left to comment on are the remixes. We didnt 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. Everythings great though. 9/10.
We are a big fan of Bacon. And when we saw this we were like..A musical? No way! So we quickly bought it and played it! We loved the song and the kids voices, even the settings were fun! Though when we were playing it (Im one to need breaks..) and we saved it EVERYTIME we played after that the game kept crashing. We restarted snd everything is great! We love how we get to move things ETC..our favorite musical from our favorite creators! Keep up the great work.
Im begging you to release the soundtrack on Spotifythe art and the sound of this game is AMAZING.
Top to bottom, layer after layer, this app is simply like eating a perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich! The animation is fantastic and the songs are phenomenal, its an absolute masterpiece, go ahead and dig in.
It keeps logging us out on level 6.
This game is great but it keeps closing after the middle of level six it doesnt stop.
This game seems so fun and we love the graphics so far but no matter what we do we cant get sound anywhere. Ive tried deleting the app and restarting our phone making sure we have everything enabled but we cant hear any of the sound track :( we would really love to hear the music so we can enjoy this game to its full potential.
We love this game. It gets a musical game right, mostly. The gameplay is where this is weakest. Its not always clear what to interact with and in what way to progress. Overall, gameplay is secondary to the story and the songs. We smiled through the whole thingeven when it took us a few minutes to get unstuck. Id love to see a sequel (grilled cheese?). We still highly recommend you play this game.
We like it but every time you get to the sixth level it crashes and sends you back to your Home Screen please fix this issue.
So far this game has been great, but the game keeps crashing on our iPad at we Envy The World. We deleted other apps and updated our software but it keeps crashing. Please fix this.
Such a cute game, but continually crashes in the same place on iPhone 8. When the strawberry goes into the oven. Our kids are so frustrated theyre in tears.
Got kinda annoying at times and was too short.
