Play Bubba'n'Stix - A Strategy Adventure Online

Bubba'n'Stix came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Core Design. It was one of those platformers that tried something a little different during a time when the console was full of them. You don't see many games built around a partnership like this one.

You control Bubba, a little caveman, but your main tool is your sentient wooden companion, Stix. You throw Stix like a boomerang to hit switches and enemies, and you can also lodge him into walls to create new platforms to climb. The goal is to rescue the forest from pollution, which involves navigating through levels screen by screen, solving environmental puzzles, and collecting magic acorns. The pacing is deliberate, with some tricky jumps and timing-based challenges that demand patience. It feels clever when you use Stix in just the right way to overcome an obstacle.
