Bubba 'n' Stix

Love the Cartoon graphics and the humor is great. A lot of Imagination has obviously gone into this and its great trying to figure out how to use STICK to progress. One of the best Explore & puzzle games I have ever played. Very enjoyable on every level. I am only sad that they did not make a sequel to this

Best platforms on the Amiga are the ones proposing original concepts rather than mimicking the common trends. That's what happens with Bubba'n'Stix, an original, very playable and addictive puzzle platformer. It looks brilliant, has very good controls and it's one of the most cartoon-like experiences the Amiga can offer. Too bad Core was apparently unable, once again, to get music and sound effects at the same time from the Paula. Classic platformer (8/10).

Bubba 'n' Stix is a very challenging game with unbelievably smooth animation and fluid gameplay. It may look as the game for children but believe me - it is not. The game is not easy, in fact it is one of the most difficult games I have played. It requires a lot of practice, good knowledge of the levels (this is why there is only five of them) and a lot of patience. There are some irritating moments like Waldo beam teleporter in level 2, green baloons in level 3, shooting cameras in level 5 but still you may find these game interesting due to a very original concept and presentation. A bit of a shame that sound fx and music can not be played at the same time. This problem does not occur in CD32 and personally I think this is why the latter is a bit easier (sounds are crucial in some tricky moments).

This game has cartoon quality graphics, so you can think it's a game for kids. But it isn't, there are many puzzles and some of them are not easy. It's a shame that you have to choose sound fx or music (well, at least in ECS version). The most annoying things are walking a tightrope on level 5 and restart points (when you die you don't respawn in a place of death but at restart point located somewhere else). Overall - very good game.

Very good Amiga game that managed to be better than the MegaDrive version. Good graphics, good audio, good animation, good playability, good difficulty curve... All in all, a very nice platform puzzler that made me spend a few weeks on it. Good vibes.

Although original, I hate this game, that I found REALLY annoying and frustrating to play. You got stuck 20 times per minute.

A nicely original platform game which makes excellent use of its central gimmick while boasting inventive and satisfying puzzles. The Dr. Seuss-style graphics and funky music make it even better.

An absolute hit game! Pretty cartoon graphics and good gameplay combined! Though I too only had the The One coverdisk demo...

Crazy cartoon graphics, funky music, goofy characters and interesting levels with puzzles and loads to explore, all topped off with tons of humour.

I think one of the things that really stands out in this game is the range of sound effects. Bubba's voice over is hilarious and fits him perfectly. There are other characters with cool voices too, and loads of really crazy sound effects. Unfortunately, you can only play the game with either music or sounds (both isn't an option) so there's a dilemma! There are level passwords, which are nice because some of the levels can take a long time to complete. Also, the passwords record your lives, health, continues and even your score.

The whole concept of Bubba being able to use Stix as a prop is pretty darn fantastic. A fun platformer with interesting and amusing puzzles. Very challenging, I can't believe I actually managed to complete this one... And it only took me 15 years!

Ok, to be honest I only played the demo but I must admit I played the demo for days when I got it. Sad I missed the whole game.
8/10

Good platformer. Very like Premiere by Core Design. Loved the cartoony graphics and was a pain in the arse at times to time Stix correctly but that was half the fun.

This game was very funny, for example the two arguing aliens where u have to throw 'stix' towards them. Than you can see how one of them hits the other one and this one gets a bump on the head. I remember you had to jump on his bumb to reach a platform.... Just crazy

This game was good as I had it as well as on the CD32 and it had nice GFX and sound. One of Core's good platform games and they never disappointed in that field

One of those classic games that made me chuckle. Love those two little alien characters that would pop-up from time to time in the game. For a platform it had some ingrossing puzzles. Things got a bit frantic towards the end but I managed to get through it.

Nice looking game, interesting gameplay. Was never able to get past level two or three for some reason.

Core always had the most beautiful graphics, with a nice cartoonish feeling to it. And their games were fantastic; Chuch Rock, Premiere, Heimdall and on and on.

Original and odd platformer with funky soundtrack, kinda like BC's Quest for Tires meets Pacland with a stick.
