So the game is a series of puzzles, whether it be figuring out how to climb a cliff, or trigger a switch that you just can't seem to reach, or coming upon an item that you have no clue of it's use, and then trying inventive ways to use it. In addition to using Stix like a sword to fight close battles, you can also throw him to clear out distant enemies and trigger switches, and he will return to you like a boomerang. So the game plays like this- you scroll through a level, each time making it farther and farther, figuring out the best way to tackle each enemy/situation as it confronts you- whether using Stix as a step up a cliff, or dislodging boulders, shooting rocks like pool balls, or by attacking/killing any enemies that come your way. I ended up going back to each level trying for that elusive perfect run so that I could save with as many lives left as possible. And you will die a lot!! Sound frustrating? It can be, but fortunately it lets you continue back at the beginning of a level- usually a good thing, right?- except that now you have to replay the entire level just to get to the place you messed up, and then hopefully do better= The game gives a password at the end of each level, but it saves the number of lives you had left, as well, so if you just barely squeaked through the last level w ith one gasping breath, that is how you will start the next level- on your last life- a serious design flaw seemed only to add play time and difficulty. It is a game that wants to be a platformer, with lots of jumping, climbing, and fighting, but unfortunately those are the worst parts. I loved parts of it and hated others, but all in all, I can't wait to play it some more.
Without him, you couldn't even get through the first part of the first level of this game.īubba 'n' Stix is a game where you(Bubba) and your stick (Stix) are sent off on a grand adventure across 6 tough levels. Stix is your only weapon and your only ally. The deeper you go into this game, the more uses you'll find for your little friend. While maneuvering Bubba throughout the strange planet, you can throw Stix at aliens, maneuver him like a pry bar to lift rocks and barrels and things, use him like a snorkel to breathe under water, and stick him into trees and buildings and such for use as a platform. You control Bubba, a long necked redneck, equipped with his weapon-like pal Stix, a small fella who acts like a cross between a billy club and a boomerang when held in Bubba's hands. When the aliens' ship crashes, Bubba and Stix escape the clutches of their captors and must try to find a way home while avoiding the new planet's strange creatures.
