    Oblivia! Originally from the cancelled TV show, this is her first appearance in a Bubsy game! Originally written to have bad hearing, we reinterpreted her with a cute hearing aid. She amuses herself by constantly saying Bubsy's name wrong on purpose.

    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.

    Gained a bunch of followers since the Bubsy 4D announcement, time to lose some: Mario Sunshine is my favorite Mario game, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is a great game, Dark Souls 2 is fun and I enjoyed Bubsy 3D the most from all classic Bubsy games.

    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.

    Even if you like Bubsy, this is criminally short for the pricetag. Cleared it no-effort in under an hour on my first run.

    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!

    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.

    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…

    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…

    $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…
