27 Days till Bubsy Launch (and introducing Squanchy)
doctorclu posted a blog entry in Bubsy Bobcat Fan Blog
For Bubsy fans we live in exciting times: The Days before the launch of Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back. There have been times since the launch of this Bubsy Bobcat fan blog in 2008 that I would search the internet and maybe find one new picture of Bubsy, but I am happy to say that is not the case now. Going forward till the launch of Bubsy and after I will be featuring the excitement of those going into this game, initial thoughts, and reviews. And I will post some of the fun things as I find them. Others are welcome to PM me with submissions as well. So here are some fun pictures I found yesterday: Some context for this one: "James Nicholas Stanton, better known by his pen name Jim Sterling, is a British freelance video game journalist, critic, and pundit." Funny picture. Here are a few others I've been meaning to post for a little bit... Some really cool art. I wonder if this was the add for Bubsy 2 originally? "Bubsy Hashtag on Twitter" was all I got for this one. Every so often a new piece of swag shows up from the Bubsy 1 and 2 days since there was not any real swag from Bubsy (3) Fractured Furry Tales or Bubsy 3D. Hopefully we'll see more swag for Bubsy (5) The Woolies Strike Back. Alright, and this last part is for fun. I have recently gotten into the cartoon series "Rick and Morty" on adult swim. In that series there is a character, a old friend of Rick's named Squanchy that is a obnoxious talking and walking cat. Obnoxious but cool. So far no talking to the 4th wall like Bubsy, but otherwise you look at this character and say things like... Fun stuff. So as I come across some Squanchy stuff, I will share it here. So far I have found the following: This was a T-Shirt that you could find here, but the link seems to be down? https://pixelpoptees.com/products/get-your-squanch-on Two interesting "facts" from this fan wiki 1) Squanchy might be dead. But then we didn't see him die, and you know what they say in comics... "no body, no death. Oh there was a body? It was a clone..." 2) Squanchy might have been based on Snarf from Thundercats. Can see that, but the party animal with attitude is definitely Bubsy inspired. But then animorphic cats are quite common. We've featured at least two other characters (Magic Cat, and the Fox animal network mascot in Japan) that greatly resemble Bubsy. All we can say is, always fun to see a character that is similar and what others do with it. In Rick and Morty Squanchy is a old friend of Rick's. Obnoxious but a liked character. And in the end, quite heroic. I'm hoping we haven't seen the last of Squanchy. Hahah... this reviewer says about the same thing... And I'll leave with this epic picture...- 4 comments

Finally the review you've all been waiting for: the review of Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back by Bubsy fans for Bubsy fans! How does this new game compare to previous Bubsy games, how does it rank (by the reviewer's humble opinion), and what are the challenges faced in collecting all the items/yarnballs? Talks about the levels between the tutorial and the first boss level. Watch it here...

So for a long time Bubsy fan like myself the joy was all the hype of the new game being released, seeing Bubsy fans respond, and "Bubsy" on the twitter feed responding back. The twitter activity that was probably inspired by the "Sonic" (Played by a Sega employee) on the Sonic twitter channel probably inspired Accolade. And to me it made all the difference getting to interact with the character. So let's start with the expected news, what are the non-Bubsy fans saying? Well, let's take a look... telegamemaster "Kinda digging it." & "So responsive. That is what impresses me" "Hit detection is ok.." "No glitching" Complaint: Length (too short) and difficulty (Too many marker points) Expected more than what we got. Wanted more worlds for the price tag. Gave a 4 out of 10. IGN Liked the double jump with glide Fall damage is gone. Annoying enemy placement. Only 14 levels? Rated a 4.5 Laser Time They had a love for the old Bubsy games. "Sonic is to Halo what Bubsy is to Killzone." "you can't have a good Sonic without a good Bubsy" "An example that America has too much money" "Worth every penny" "Pretty fun for $30 bucks" Other reviews peg Bubsy at around 4 to maybe 5. So here are the average good points of all the reviews I read: *It's a competent platformer *Hardly any glitches *Nice to see *Fun game *Best Bubsy game yet *Bubsy does not talk too much (and you can adjust the rate Bubsy talks. And the bad points: * Platforms you jump on are the same platforms basically through the whole game. * Enemies are annoyingly placed. * Too many markers. And the biggest complaint... * Too short. That is what I hear the most is how short the game is with only 14 levels. So in a moment, I'll give MY review of the new Bubsy, but first, some reviews of the fans and other good Bubsy comments... So been loving all that, but now... DOCTOR CLU'S REVIEW OF BUBSY THE WOOLIES STRIKE BACK Love it. Of course. I have seen so many Bubsy concepts of what a continuation of Bubsy would be. Also heard many music interpretations. So which would I have gone with? Well, the Bubsy in the flying suit made some sense, and my favorite fan music was "Return of the Bobcat" and I like the song "A Hole Lot of Magic". Love it. Honestly, this game, to me, blew all my expectations away I love all you fans, just saying I really really like what they made here. So let me break it down: The voice: Love it. Sounds like Bubsy, not as annoying as the Bubsy 3D, maybe easier to listen to than the original Bubsy voice. One could say a Bubsy a bit grown up? Just turn down the rate Bubsy talks or he will tend to repeat the phrases fairly quick. The Music/soundtrack: has a retro mod/Amiga feel to it. I thought. Backgound: Beautiful, as said Laser Time said, a nice homage to the Southwest. Gameplay: Honestly fun for me. Glide: Is a neat ability how you can drift down. Still the best way to take out a Woolie. Pounce: A FUN new ability. Can ram through walls. Supposedly the way to take out Woolies, but so far I tend to die like 40% of the time when I use it against Woolies. jump: Is jump. Always best paired with glide. Climbing is a new fun ability. Comparison thoughts... * I like how the Woolies lay around after you pounce them. They don't just go poof. * Like how the shield shirt stays with you till you are hit. Nice solution to the one hit kills you problem. * What is new is how when you hit a Woolie and you hold down glide you loose your glide. You can hit the glide again and Bubsy climbs up a bit for extended glide, just that this is a bit different. * Woolies don't stay down. One thing I always like about Bubsy was you returned to the last marker point with all prior enemies you took out still gone. Now you return to a marker with Woolies returned all around you. That is basically it. The game has been the type of fun where I find myself wanting to go back and play more of the game. I listen to the soundtrack in the car. As a fan, a very happy time for me. I'd say if you're a fan of Bubsy, you'll get a lot of good nuggets out of this. As a game, I think this is something good to give to a friend for their kids. Yep, like many kids of the 90's that grew up with the first Bubsy game, and good memories, so I think kids of today will like this game. So if I was to give this a score and this is based on fun, and what I believe this game could be, and fan material, how about an 82% out of 100% or 8.2 out of ten. It is a fun game. I think all the hype, the twitter feed leading up to the game, the marketing would raise this score to an 86%. Here is what I would like to see... 1) more variances in the appearance of the Woolies. 2) a bit more story? 3) Packages that people who buy the game can download to add more levels <---- would raise it 10% 4) A level creator that fans can download to make OTHER levels that owners of the game can put online for download. And with that, ways to import different music. Make hell levels with some Slayer!! Yeh! 5) More variance in the platforms you jump on. 6) The ability to zoom in so you don't see as much of the screen for those that like a feel like the 90's game and those cheap off screen enemies. Ok, that is all for now. More Bubsy news coming up, in the meantime, take advantage of that 34% sale on steam. Like buying the game for $10 and the soundtrack for the other $10.

LIFT OFF FOR NEW BUBSY GAME! EVERYTHING IS GO GO GO
doctorclu posted a blog entry in Bubsy Bobcat Fan Blog
Today is release day (10 am PST, or 12 pm CST for us here in Texas) for the new Bubsy game.. The Woolies Strike Back. Of course for myself, SpongeFox, Robert R, Gold Leader, Jinroh, and other Bubsy fans over the years, this day is also... HALLOWEEN!!! Hahah... Latest fan art from SpongeFox who has contributed Bubsy art over the years, and who doodled art while we talked to Michael Berlyn and Faran Thomason a while back. So this is it folks, the release day for the new Bubsy game and already even before I can get my Bubsy copy out of Game Stop prison.. er. official release time, there are those that found copies and already made reviews even showing all the bosses in the game... What I am hearing is the game is fun, and as Robert R commented, there are many new moves that look inspired by the ScratchPad Bubsy such as breaking through walls and climbing moves. I can definiately see that, and am looking forward to this game when I get off work today. In the meantime, "Bubsy" is answering questions as previously advertised. It was a bit hard to track at first as I was looking in the Bubsy and Bubsy24x1 twitter feeds, Even checked the steam chatroom. However, then I got an answer to my question... I eventually realized that you have to check Bubsy's replies at the following link... https://twitter.com/BubsyThe_Bobcat/with_replies Some of the responses are hilarious so check it out! And with about six hours till release time you could probably still send off a question to #bubsy24x1 and maybe get an answer! More Bubsy news coming soon! ---- SPEACIAL NEWS FLASH... BUBSY WEARS PANTS!!! ------- (And a special 34% offer for the PC release plus free OST, but seriously, for the first time in 25 years Bubsy wears PANTS!!) Dream come true for some fans... film at 11...
