Who hasnt sat up at night, pondering what it would be like to play a musical mobile game about peanut butter and jelly, performed in faux Shakespearean verse and animated in the style of Terry Gilliams Monty Python shorts? Well, wonder no more: The absurdist PBJ - The Musical (first previewed at Day of the Devs 24) heads to the App Store on March 26. Kamiboxs PBJ - The Musical is a collaboration between studio founder Philipp Stollenmayer and English musician and comedian Lorraine Bowen, famous for the delightfully whimsical The Crumble Song. When I saw Lorraine performing on Britains Got Talent in 2015, getting the Golden Buzzer from David Walliams, I knew I wanted to make something with her, Stollenmayer said. The quirkiness of her songs totally resonated with the vibe of my games, which include Sometimes You Die and the thematically similar Bacon - The Game. Kamibox PBJ - The Musical borrows elements of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, blending it with musical theatre (performed mostly by children!) and animated paper landscapes from actual cutouts. (When he isnt designing deceptively zany games, Stollenmayer is also a papercraft artist.) Peanut Boy, hailing from a black and white post-war America, steps in for Romeo, while Strawberry Girl, from a colorful and sweet world that raves of royalty, tackles the games equivalent of Juliet. You control characters through simple taps and drags as you push and pull cutout figures through the diorama. The developer says that, unlike the Bards version, this is no tragic play culminating in dual suicides. (Or, at least, not the kind to be sad about.) Kamibox says the games happy ending involves surprise! the creation of the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which a modern-day Shakespeare may have called The brightest heaven of invention as he packed little Susannas lunchbox. You can catch a snippet of the zany PBJ - The Musical in the trailer below. It arrives for iPhone and iPad on March 26 for $4. You can preorder it now in the App Store.

The Apple Watch SE is on sale via Amazon for $169. This is a discount of $80, which represents a savings of over 30 percent. If youve been on the fence regarding Apples entry-level smartwatch, this could be the perfect excuse to, uh, get off that fence. Or climb it. Im not exactly sure how that idiom works. The Watch SE easily found a place on our list of the best Apple smartwatches. Despite being the companys bare-bones model, it still offers plenty of bang for the buck. It can do crash detection, heart rate monitoring, emergency calling and more. Theres a reason why we called it the best smartwatch for the money in our official review. It uses the same chip as the original Ultra and the Series 8, so the performance is on point. Its covered in durable Ion-X glass and offers 50 meters of water resistance. The screen isnt quite as bright as with the pricier models, but we still found the display to be crisp and easy to read. The watch is also lightweight and comfortable. There are some trade-offs here when compared to Apples more extravagant smartwatches. The SE doesnt support the new Double Tap feature for Siri requests and it doesnt include a blood oxygen monitor or a temperature sensor. The final caveat? This watch came out in 2022, so a refresh is likely on the horizon.
