Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales

Game Details:

This game is an exclusive title in the "Bubsy" series on the Atari Jaguar platform. The plot revolves around Mother Goose being captured by the corrupted characters Hansel and Gretel, causing the balance of the entire fairy tale world to be disrupted, and classic stories are distorted beyond recognition. Bubsy's mission is to enter these "fractured fairy tales", correct the chaos, and protect the children of the world. The game features 15 challenging levels, including multiple themed environments such as the underwater world, the desert, and the giant beanstalk. Similar to previous installments in the series, Bubsy has his signature jumping and gliding abilities in the game, but unlike the three-hit point design of "Bubsy II", this game returns to the one-hit kill setting of the original, greatly increasing the game's difficulty and challenge. Players need precise operation and quick reactions to avoid various quirky enemies and deadly traps.

Game Guide:

1. Master Gliding:

Gliding is Bubsy's most crucial survival skill. Press and hold the jump key immediately after jumping to trigger it. It not only helps you cross large platforms, but more importantly, it is used to precisely control the speed and direction of descent to avoid sudden enemies or traps. In narrow areas, use short-range gliding instead of normal jumping to increase safety.

2. Use Pounce Attacks Cautiously:

Bubsy attacks by jumping on enemies' heads. Although this is the main means of attack, the cost of a failed attack is extremely high due to the one-hit kill. For enemies whose movement trajectory is difficult to predict or who are small in size, it is better to bypass them or wait for a safe opportunity. Do not rashly attack in places where multiple enemies are densely arranged.

3. Collectibles and Health:

"Bubsy Balls" and numbered T-shirts scattered throughout the levels are important sources for obtaining extra lives. Collect 500 Bubsy Balls to earn an extra life. Be sure to collect as many as possible, provided it is safe to do so. T-shirts with "!" provide a brief period of invincibility, which should be used decisively when passing through difficult or densely populated enemy areas.
