"Much of that credit goes to indie developer Fabraz, whose past work on games like the underrated Demon Turf proves it has a way of making exhilarating new additions to the genre. That same charm is very much present in Bubsy 4D, a surprise hit that left me wanting to play more at the end of the three levels I played during an Atari event this month."
""We've been trying to strike a delicate balance," Miller said. "We don't want to just dunk on him, but Bubsy's had a tough go of it, more so than any of us. We want to acknowledge that, and that means a little bit of poking fun at him being a bit of a has-been. But we definitely wanted to also uphold him. Actually gonna embrace that he persisted for this reason. That there's something about the character that people liked and that they resonated with.""
Bubsy returns in a 3D platformer sequel developed by Fabraz. The game appears smoother than its first 3D attempt. Fabraz's previous work on Demon Turf influences Bubsy 4D's charm and design. A hands-on demo included three playable levels at an Atari event. Bubsy 4D acknowledges the character's legacy by mixing affectionate mockery with respectful celebration. The game features younger characters who rib Bubsy about his age. Fabraz aims to balance poking fun and upholding Bubsy's persistence and appeal.
