Play Bubsy II on GB Online
You play as a bobcat sprinting through chaotic levels—one moment stomping aliens in a pyramid, the next dodging UFOs or piloting a tiny plane through a shooter segment. The whole thing feels like a fever dream with surprisingly tight controls.
Bubsy II on the Game Boy came out in 1994, published by Accolade. It was part of that wave of platformers trying to capture some of the Sonic energy on Nintendo's handheld, a time when every character with an attitude seemed to get their own side-scrolling adventure.
You control Bubsy the bobcat, running and jumping through a series of themed stages. The main goal is simply to reach the end of each level, grabbing yarn balls along the way for points and extra lives. The game is built on screen-by-screen exploration, with some stages introducing vehicle segments, like piloting a small plane that fires projectiles at enemies. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially with some awkward enemy placements. It feels like a condensed, slightly janky version of its console siblings, but the core movement is responsive enough to make the chaos manageable.
