A retro-style 3D platformer called Bolmn is free to keep for a very limited time on PC. Although Bolmn was only just released on August 5, its developer has already decided to give the title away to PC gamers completely for free, but there’s a catch.
Developed by indie studio The Voices Games, Bolmn features an adorable protagonist that many would consider a Kirby lookalike. It also comes with very minimalistic gameplay mechanics, making it a perfect pick for fans of classic side-scrolling mascot platformers that had no fancy skill-tree systems or power-ups.

EGS users have until August 26 at 6:01 PM to add Bolmn to their collections at no cost. The game is normally priced at around $1.00 USD, so it will not be the biggest save of the month. Still, free is free, and it could be an opportunity for fans of 3D platformers to try something new without spending any money.
Find the odd one out before the timer hits zero.
Bolmn Gameplay Features
- Minimalistic platforming
- Missions inspired by pinball paddles
- Light combat elements
- Object-centric puzzles and obstacles
- Short and relaxing campaign
The replay value of Bolmn might not be that high compared with other indie platformers on Steam, mainly because it doesn’t seem to have many collectibles. That said, some obstacles require creative thinking, encouraging players to interact with objects and use them to reach the next area. For instance, the Kirby-like protagonist might throw an object at a wall to create a noise and distract a guard blocking the path. Still, players shouldn’t expect anything overly complicated, as Bolmn is a bite-sized indie game.
