Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back

should've listened to the bad reviews bro DOT NOT BUY THIS ABOMINATION. I recommend the purrfect-collection or bubsy-4d but not this or paws of fury cuz both of them are trash and this game is so unforgivable with its performance i thought it wouldn't be that bad but it was.

Woolies?

[h1]Nothing went wrong, but nothing went well either[/h1] A modern revival of a mascot platformer from the 90's almost nobody asked for, this 2D installment doesn't really do anything you haven't seen before if you're at all familiar with the genre. To start with the things I liked, you can pan the camera in any direction with the right stick, a feature I wish was implemented in more 2D platformers nowadays. Controls are much tighter so you should have a lot less issues lining up jumps even if they're much more simplified and lack the depth of other games in the genre. I never had issues with enemy visibility. There's a tutorial level at the start, but unless you're going for 100% it's entirely optional. The one new move that was added is the pounce, which I personally didn't enjoy using very much. This hurls you in a rather unpredictable manner, resulting in missed jumps or accidentally hitting something you didn't mean to. I only ever used it when I absolutely had to, such as the final section in the first level requiring you to pounce through breakable blocks over a pit of water which was the only part of this entire game that gave me trouble as I kept hitting the ceiling…

What could pawssibly go wrong? No idea how I'm doing this, but I like it!

I think the game is actually pretty fun and gets way too much hate. It's very simplisitic 2D Platforming fun in my eyes and Bubsy is kinda goated for all his funny one liners too, makes me chuckle. Obviously the budget for this game was incredibly small and you can tell! Still I don't think the graphics look that bad and the music is okay as well, but yeah the presentation is definently really bad... One funny thing I noticed is that from each world stage 1 was by far the worst one to get trough and the last one was always the best. All in all this game is nowhere near purrfect, but I still recommend it! It's pretty nice to get trough and the best 2D Bubsy game. (Which is an incredible low bar to pass of course) So Get this game on sale when you can! (Don't pay full price though!)

Actually bubsy plays really well here. The bosses are kinda tough. But not too tough. I'd play it again sometime
