Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind is a 1993 platformer released for the Sega Mega Drive. As a classic platform game, the main objective centers on guiding Bubsy, an anthropomorphic bobcat, through various levels filled with enemies and obstacles. Players must collect yarn balls and avoid hazards while navigating colorful and diverse environments.
The game's pace is moderately fast, encouraging quick reflexes and precise jumps. A unique mechanic in this platformer is Bubsy’s signature “grab and glide” move, allowing the character to slow his descent and cross large gaps, which adds a tactical layer to typical platform jumping. This mechanic distinguishes it from other platformers of the early 1990s.
Unusual ideas within the game include its humorous tone and character design, focusing on a witty protagonist with catchy one-liners. The distinctive art style and vibrant level designs contribute to its recognizable appearance in the platforming genre. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind remains a notable title within Sega Mega Drive’s platformer lineup.
