Join Bubsy on a new, intergalactic, platforming adventure. Run, jump, glide, and roll across alien planets, battle robotic sheep, and collect tons and tons of yarn. What could possibly go wrong? Bubsy’s longstanding enemies, the fleece-obsessed Woolies, have stolen all of the Earth’s sheep. Oh well, that ain’t Bubsy’s problem. Until the sheep overthrow their captors and return as deadly BaaBots, empowered by Woolie technology, determined to steal Bubsy’s most prized possession, The Golden Fleece. With the help of his motley crew of acquaintances, Bubsy must journey through space to defeat the BaaBots and take back the Golden Fleece...

Bubsy 4D is a classic 3D platformer

Bubsy 4D is a classic 3D platformer which builds on the Bubsy franchise. It's pretty much par-for-the-course and delivers few surprises for fans of the genre. However, what it does deliver is a challenging and addictive game with a sense of humour. The biggest downside is that the game is incredibly short. Most will be able to finish it in a few hours, and that is reflected in the bargain retail price.

The humour is an important part of this game, with plenty of funny cut sequences as well as wacky gameplay animation. Bubsy can leap, glide, claw his way up walls, and pounce off enemies. He can also puff up into a new hairball form to roll at blistering speeds.

The difficulty level is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more, without being hard enough to trigger rage quit vibes. I enjoyed my time with Bubsy I just wish the game had been a little longer.
