Review: Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (Steam)

Watch Bubsy glide like a bat, jump like a jackrabbit, bounce like a red rubber ball and run…run Bubsy run. This is the Bubsy adventure you were born to play.

Pros:

• Ok graphics.
• 2011 MB Download size.
• Optional tutorial level.
• Steam achievements.
• Controller support.
• 2D platformer set with a 3D backdrop.
• Collect wool to boost your school in the game.
• All levels are timed.
• End of level breakdown.
• Plays like a speedrun collect em up.
• Easy to learn controls.
• Actions- Jump, Pounce, and glide.
• Full of one-liner quips and tongue in cheek callbacks to the previous game.
• Collect jumpers to add a shield and continue to collect them to earn extra lives.
• Boss fights.
• Easy to get into.
• Can replay levels.
• World map level select.
• Keys- Collect these to unlock bonus rooms.
• Old school in play style with one hit kills Water deaths and killing enemies by jumping on their heads.

Cons:

• Overly sensitive controls.
• Feels like a 90s game with all the bad parts of them in the game.
• Constantly repeating the same lines over and over.
• Simplistic no-frills gameplay.
• Annoying one-hit deaths, Probably more accurate to say inch perfect bullshit deaths.
• Tedious platform sections.
• Little reason to replay.
• Only a dozen or so levels.
• All levels feel the same.
• Unrewarding especially after you spend an eternity to collect wool.
