Publisher Atari and developer Fabraz have released the “Black Hole” update for Bubsy 4D, which adds 15 additional levels, leaderboards, five unlockable outfits, four achievements, new dialogue, and a special reward for 100 percent-completing the game, the companies announced.
Here are the details:
- New Content: Black Hole Campaign
- 15 brand new levels! Revisit each planet to tackle these tough challenges.
- A bunch of new hazards, enemies and more!
- Five entirely new outfits to unlock by collecting void fleece!
- 15 spanking new time medals to unlock and leaderboards to compete in.
- Four new achievements / trophies to hunt down.
- New dialogue with the gang!
- A new special reward for completing the game 100 percent!
- Player
- Adjusting the camera to handle collision slightly better. Lackey Two keeps on improving!
- The grounding visualizer is no longer shy and won’t randomly disappear when hairball bouncing.
- Fixed rare instance where Bubsy remains squashed or stretched. Slenderbubsy is no longer real, sorry.
- Lowered the chance of clipping through the ground when entering hairball form. Even bobcats need to obey the laws of physics!
- Levels
- Shooting from glass tube cannons is now more consistent across different hardware.
- Bosses
- Dying to Baarbee JUST as you beat her no longer softlocks the game. But you should still feel bad about it.
- User Interface
- Fixed abilities not remembering if they were turned on or off if you quickly switch categories in the shop. Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m turned on or off either.
- Race timer no longer shows up after beating the game before the title screen comes in. THE RACE IS OVER.
- Systems
- Retrying via keybind no longer takes longer than retrying via the pause menu. No more extra time to ponder your life choices, like you became a professional Bubsy speedrunner.
Bubsy 4D is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
