unlabelledView post →It's GAME OVER once you get hit nine times across the entire game in Bubsy 4D's "Nine Lives" mode. Not only does your save get wiped but you'll have to listen to Bubsy complain about your lack of skills too.

unlabelledView post →So, that new Bubsy game, huh
unlabelledView post →Bubsy 4D was good, if a little short. And then they released a whole set of even tougher B-side levels as a free update. Same engine and developer as Demon Tides, but Bubsy officially has a Good Game now.

unlabelledView post →Even if you like Bubsy, this is criminally short for the pricetag. Cleared it no-effort in under an hour on my first run.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I truly believe the devs of all previous Bubsy games cared about the franchise & wanted to make a good game too. You can tell that there was love poured into all of them. No dev wants their baby to fail & there are so many factors that can lead to a game not being successful!
unlabelledView post →I did an arrangement of the Bubsy theme for "Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection", you'll hear it when you boot up the game!
unlabelledView post →Hot take - Bubsy is fine. The 3D game retroactively made the series a meme but the pervious two games were fine. Nothing amazing but Bubsy was always just another 90’s mascot platformer that was fine.
unlabelledView post →2025 has been INSANE for us: - Demon Tides demo launch - Bubsy 4D Gamescom ONL announcement - Bubsy 4D demo launch - Producer Program announcement - Demon Tides release date announcement 2026 looks to be even crazier: TWO game launches and more?! Thanks for being part of it all!

unlabelledView post →Of course no Bubsy game is complete without some Woolies! In Bubsy 4D they've, involuntarily, become the BaaBot's lackeys.

unlabelledView post →This game is worlds better than any other Bubsy Sequel and for the most part less rude as it progresses than the original (I maintain that the original is a fine game for the first two or three worlds, but...) The thing is, it's waaay to short for the price tag. I realize a lot of effort has gone into the art assets and devs need to get paid, but when stuff like Sonic Mania has 3 or 4 times as much content for less money, this just isn't cutting it. At the current price I just can't…

unlabelledView post →I'm not angry, just disappointed. Well, isn't this an unexpected purr-nup? This is quite cat-astrophic. Cat pun. To be honest, I was expecting this game to be a trash fire of bad choices and design flaws. But, to my utter surprise, it wasn't. Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back doesn't evolve anything in anyway. It's basic as all hell, but functional. It's not hard by any standard, but it's fun to collect a whole bunch of things. Aside from one gigantic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ issue, there's really nothing wrong…

"what." yeah, it's by the Demon Tide guys, and i just recced that, so. it's pretty good! AND it just got a BIG *free* expansion with more levels! store.steampowered.com/app/3237970/...
unlabelledView post →$30 for less than 2 hours of content that wasn't even fully playtested and lazily constructed. Expect bosses to glitch out. Expect cheap deaths. Pointless collecting that serves absolutely no purpose. None. There are goals in the levels that do NOT affect your progress. There are keys to collect, and you collect them all to collect more wool. What do you do with the wool? Nothing. They don't add anything. They don't unlock anything AFAIK. I'm not willing to replay this to find out. Controls…

I mean, that's the whole Youtube reviewer thing. But I can't wait for that process at this point. I have to warn people about this game. Bubsy is not back. Bubsy was never back. Bubsy needs to have a bullet put in its head if this is how he's going to come back. I'm speechless as a game that is normally 30 bucks has…
