Wattson the Bulb

Wattson the Bulb is a platforming adventure about a sentient bulb with no memory, exploring a hostile world to uncover its past. You navigate over 100 hand-crafted stages, recover abilities and combine them to overcome enemies, hazards and obstacles. The world’s routes are non-linear, with multiple ways forward and reasons to revisit earlier areas as your abilities grow.

Explore the world

The world joins strange biomes through long-forgotten machinery and organic growth. City ruins overlook shimmering laboratories, while wind-scoured cliffs lead to slime-filled caverns and star-dusted vistas. There are more than five themed biomes, each bringing new hazards, surprises and platforming ideas, with visual storytelling throughout.

Move and combine abilities

You unlock more than 10 abilities, including dashing across chasms, grappling to new heights, climbing walls, changing size to pass through tight spaces and conjuring platforms. Each power changes how you move and approach obstacles. Chain abilities together to create routes and solutions, such as linking grapples into aerial paths or combining size changes with movement techniques.

Find your route

You can take your time unlocking upgrades and secrets, or master routes and aim for faster times. Levels offer shortcuts, hidden passages, ability-gated secrets, collectible routes and optional high-risk time trials. Tight checkpoints let you practise difficult sections without losing long stretches of progress, while early stages introduce mechanics through play and readable hazards.

Options and play

The game includes difficulty-related options, visual and audio adjustments, and configurable controls. It is designed around gamepad play and also supports keyboard controls.
