Fabraz and Atari have announced a free content update for Bubsy 4D, and it’s out now.

The ‘Black Hole’ update introduces 15 additional levels, 4 new outfits, leaderboards, new dialogue, and a special reward for 100% completion of the game.

Oh, and it’s free – we mentioned that, right? Nice.

In addition, a patch has been applied to improve the overall experience, so let’s check out the details:

  • 15 brand new levels! Revisit each planet to tackle these tough challenges.
  • A bunch of new hazards, enemies and more!
  • 5 entirely new outfits to unlock by collecting void fleece!
  • 15 spanking new time medals to unlock and leaderboards to compete in.
  • 4 new achievements/trophies to hunt down.
  • New dialogue with the gang!
  • A new special reward for completing the game 100%!

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.

UI

  • 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.

If you’ve yet to dive into Bubsy 4D and aren’t quite sure whether you should, you can check out our review for more information. We awarded it a 7/10 and called it “a solid budget platformer with levels that are consistently fun, if somewhat underbaked”.

Bubsy 4D is available now both digitally and physically.
