Bubsy 4D Delivers Snappy Movement Despite Bland Worlds

Bubsy 4D is a surprising highlight in the Bubsy series: a compact, modern indie platformer built around a robust movement system (dash, wall runs, air dash, glide, and a Sonic-like roll) that compels players through obstacle-course levels across three worlds to collect five golden yarn balls. While the core mechanics are a strength and the humor stays light, the levels feel barren and garish, keeping the experience short and focused. It’s the best Bubsy yet and hints at a future where the character works in small, movement‑driven experiences.
