Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time

There aren't many good loony tunes game out there, this is one of the few exceptions as we have a time travelling game which sees bugs bunny travel in time to recreate the iconic shorts he starred in over the years.

Not only have the levels been carefully created to endure that the many references to the bugs bunny episodes make sense, but they also accommodate some rather inspired gameplay which sees our hero collecting clocks in order to complete his mission in returning to the present day after being removed from it with a time machine he stumbles across. The game doesn't even try to tell a cohesive story as admittedly the loony tunes shorts were never known for having compelling narratives (even the likes of space jam were popular more for the characters and comedy rather than their respective plots.) There's a surprising number of different moves our hero can pull off, each of them controlling perfectly which is something many of its contemporaries struggled with back in the day when experimenting with different gameplay styles. You'd think that having unlimited lives would make this game a breeze, however you'd be wrong as it's quite easy for bugs to die and with how limited checkpoints are, you quickly realise why there's no lives in this game. Of course, that doesn't make the game too hard, just one that can appeal to those outside if the loony tunes diehard fanbase. The art style us very reminiscent of our hero's golden age as it has crude recreations of the simplistic backgrounds of the earlier cartoons (including clearly visible drawing lines with colours often overlapping environments) which should appeal to the fans of bugs bunny rather nicely.

It's a surprisingly good licensed game given how the developers could've easily cobbled together a cheap platformer like the Disney tie ins from over the years, this wasn't just a cheap cash in, it was a game made by those who love bugs bunny and the universe he's a part of.
