"Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind" is a platformer in which Bubsy is on a quest to defeat the Woolies. This bobcat, who can die by simply touching a flying egg with his toes, must go through 16 chapters, each 3 introducing a new theme and ending with a boss.
Bubsy can move, jump, glide or look around. Jumping on enemies is the only way to kill them, but also allows Bubsy to bounce higher.
Several things in this game make it hard to get a perfect run:
- Bubsy takes a while to accelerate to full speed (depending on slopes too), jumping/landing slows him down, and you have to avoid things a lot ... so it's often impossible to go at full speed. The best ways to go fast are long platforms, downward slopes, or jumping/bouncing over things
- Levels are big and often have multiple paths, each with multiple ways to pass them (when to run, jump, etc.), so figuring out which is best often requires a lot of experimentation (and actually finding the paths), but can save many seconds at the end. While I did try to pick the best and think I did good, there might still be better ones I missed in some levels.
- Each yarn ball I get wastes 1 frame at the end of the level (for bonus points), but most of them are in the way, and avoiding them would waste more time ... but this is a relatively minor problem, adding a total of 9 seconds (553 frames) to the run.
