If the player successfully collects all 32 rocket pieces, the rocket rips through the space-time continuum due to the density of the atoms that Bubsy has collected, stranding Bubsy in the Stone Age. If Bubsy collects fewer than the 32 rocket parts needed to escape, his rocket will ultimately become stranded in outer space. The game's ending depends on how many collectibles the player is able to gather. The Woolies fail to understand why Bubsy is collecting atoms and rocket parts, but nonetheless see him as a danger and call for a military campaign to stop him. However, Bubsy escapes his kidnappers when there is a malfunction on the Woolie ship, creating a panic across their planet. The story begins with the Woolie queens, Poly and Esther, invading earth and kidnapping Bubsy, intending to steal all of Earth's yarn. The story follows the central character, an orange bobcat named Bubsy, whose goal is to escape the planet by building a rocket ship from a collection of atoms and rocket pieces. īubsy 3D takes place on the planet Rayon, the home planet of the series' recurring enemies, the Woolies. There is also a two-player mode, where players contest each other to collect as many points as possible and achieve a higher score. There are two rockets in each non-boss level, and there is a different ending if Bubsy collects all of them. Bubsy passes most levels by touching a goal, except for two levels that are designed as boss fights. Three of them take place underwater, where Bubsy must manage his oxygen supply, and his gliding action is replaced with a jetting dive. There are also jumping puzzles where Bubsy must activate four platforms or switches in the right order, which unlocks either a rocket or a power-up that grants temporary abilities. After each level is a potential bonus round, unlocked when Bubsy collects at least 150 atoms. Bubsy has limited lives and hit points, which can be extended by collecting atoms, reaching a high score, or by attacking clams who offer random prizes. īubsy defeats enemies by shooting atoms, as well as using his jump and glide abilities to pounce on them. The player can also control Bubsy's running speed, and the position of the camera. The actions can trigger the character's signature catchphrases. Bubsy's actions include running, jumping, gliding, swimming, and even piloting a rocket car in certain levels. The player must also collect rocket parts to build a transport back to planet Earth, and defeat the two Woolie queens, Poly and Esther. Bubsy 3D was the last game in the Bubsy series for nearly 21 years, until a new team released Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in 2017.Įxploring three-dimensional graphics, the player takes on a role as bobcat Bubsy, scoring points by collecting atoms.īubsy 3D is a 3D platformer in which the player controls Bubsy, an anthropomorphic orange bobcat, in order to stop the alien Woolies and escape their planet, Rayon, by collecting atoms. The game's legacy has also been affected by unfavorable comparisons to other early 3D platform games from the same year, Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot. Several publications have ranked it among the worst video games in history. Heavy criticism has been directed at the controls, environments, and voice acting. Although some reviewers did praise the game upon release, it has been universally panned in retrospect. A version for the Sega Saturn was planned and ultimately canceled.īubsy 3D initially had a mixed reception. As Accolade insisted on releasing the game on time, the team aimed to make the best game they could under the circumstances. Late in the game's development, Berlyn saw a preview of Super Mario 64 at the 1996 Consumer Electronics Show, and became concerned that Bubsy 3D was an inferior game. However, the team's unfamiliarity with 3D technology created development challenges. Bubsy 3D would become one of the first platform games to fully enable 3D exploration. Bubsy 3D follows the series' titular character, an orange bobcat named Bubsy, who travels to the planet Rayon to stop the alien Woolies, and return safely to Earth.Īfter the disappointing commercial performance of Bubsy II and Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales, both of which were released in 1994, Accolade asked the original Bubsy creator and designer Michael Berlyn to return to the series, who decided to revitalize the series with a transition to 3D. The game was released for the PlayStation on November 25, 1996, in North America, with a later European release in August 1997. It is the first 3D game in the Bubsy series, and the fourth game in the series overall. Bubsy 3D (also known as Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet or Bubsy is 3D in "Furbitten Planet") is a platform game developed by Eidetic and published by Accolade.
