Customer Reviews
It’s perfect to start making games before it officially comes out. Very comfortable the bigger buttons and shoulder buttons.
The Thumby Color is an excellent learning and hobbiest development device, having the computing power a just shy of a PlayStaion 2 running at extrememly low power. You can make very beginner friendly games and very advanced depending on your interests, and can modify the engine and make your on native accelerated modules.
I was able to render full 3D scenes and have some limited raytracing support, despite the incredibly small size. Would highly recommend from beginner to expert.
This has been fun to play with. It’s been awesome to get a jump start on developing something for the Thumby Color.
This thing is very fun to play with, I have already made a few games for it and it is not difficult at all, they have plenty of documentation to help understand the built in game engine and the thing is baisically almost as powerful as a ps2 so the only limitation is the screen size. Cannot wait to get the official thumby color when it comes out just to have a slightly smaller form factor with a case and more comfortable buttons, but if you really want to design some games while you wait for the thumby color, this thing is great.
