Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (Windows) is a side‑scrolling platform game starring the classic mascot Bubsy the bobcat, developed by Black Forest Games and released for Windows on October 31, 2017. It marks the first new Bubsy title in over two decades since Bubsy 3D and brings the character back in a 2.5D platformer format with colorful stages, upbeat music, and a mission to reclaim the stolen Golden Fleece from the mischievous Woolies.
The game focuses on running, jumping, gliding, and pouncing through 14 unique levels filled with enemies like sharks, bees, and alien foes while you gather yarnballs and power‑ups. With mixed critical reception, the game leans on light‑hearted action, arcade‑style challenges, and leaderboards for replayability rather than a deep narrative. It supports Steam features such as achievements and trading cards and can be played with keyboard, mouse, or a controller for classic platforming fun.
