Reception

Nubby's Number Factory released to positive reviews, with reviewers drawing favorable comparisons to Balatro , [4] Peggle , and Ballionaire , [5] also complimenting its price, music, absurd setting and terminology, bizarre art style inspired by 1990s computer shareware and edutainment, [6] style of progression, and addictive gameplay, [7] while criticizing some of the balancing, lack of replay value and the difficulty of the challenges, which developer MogDogBlog vowed to improve.
