It could be one of the greatest love stories you’ll ever encounter: meet peanut butter and jelly, the duo at the heart of the whimsical PBJ – The Musical. This quirky romance is brimming with eccentric characters, and every scene is made using hand-cut paper art for a charming stop-motion feel.
What we love: The way this playful love story between a rebellious strawberry and a disillusioned peanut is told across 10 musical acts – it even features original songs by The Crumble Lady, Lorraine Bowen. The handcrafted aesthetic, made from vintage cookbooks, newspapers and magazines, feels cosy and nostalgic – we were simply engrossed as we shaped the story by dragging, pulling and pushing elements across the paper landscapes.
Quick tip: The game includes accessibility features such as adaptive difficulty and a guided mode with a magical rubber band to assist in tricky sections, ensuring a fun experience for players of all skill levels.
Meet the creator: Developed by Philipp Stollenmayer of Kamibox, PBJ – The Musical reflects his background in paper craft and communication design. Known for the Apple Design Award–winning Song of Bloom, Stollenmayer blends handcrafted artistry with inventive gameplay to create experiences that are as imaginative as they are engaging.
