Surprised with this platformer!
Bubsy is definitely punching well above its weight with this release. This '4D' release is absolutely nothing like the originals! Busby 4D is a whole new experience and I was blown away!
The controls are super tight and responsive, I am playing on Linux via the heroic game launcher and so far have had no issues with textures and or glitches at all, it plays extremely smooth with no hitches. My friend had forced me to pick this one up and I wasn't really expecting much going into it, outside of a few screenshots I looked at. Was extremely surprised. The comedy in the game is similar to GEX if anyone remembers that one.
The levels are fun and diverse so far. As the other reviewer stated, Bubsy is extremely mobile and there are even unlockable/upgradable moves that allow you to even be more mobile. I actually did not dread going back and redoing some of the levels to collect missing collectables. This game balances the collect-a-thon attributes and actual platforming very well.
The Time Attack times are insane, you gotta be really on top of your platformer skills to beat these times and I was able to figure out almost all of them and get into the top 5 (at the time) on most of the levels on the ladder board.
Also in the options you can set 'Bubsy Chatter' consistency. Which allows you to hear Bubsy's quips and concerns varying on how you are doing in the game lol, so I set it to the max setting.
I am using the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C to play this one, and it worked right out of the box with no issues.
UPDATE: My total play time was 4 hours a 40 minutes to complete the game while getting every collectible in every level. Over 9 hours getting all the time attacks and 100% and that includes doing two hours of attempts on the gauntlet, and I keep getting within the last part and not succeeding lol.
I am hoping we get a DLC for this one!
