From then on, the true nature of the game becomes clear. This all changes near the end of the short first level when you meet Squeak. He can jump, shoot stars, and collect gems and coins.

Despite appearances, this is one of those very cute games that is far deeper than it looks. The Genesis and Amiga box art even has some of that painful “attitude” imagery gamers saw far too much of thanks to Bart Simpson and Sonic, among others. It is perhaps best compared to the Lost Vikings except that you only ever control one character.Īt first glance, Bubble and Squeak appears to be yet another colourful ’90s platformer. It is a puzzle/platformer where you control a boy named Bubble who has to guide his blue-alien-monkey friend Squeak get to the end of each stage. It didn’t interest me at the time but as is often the way, a friend ended up owning it and I ended up playing it. My first look at Bubble and Squeak came in a Sega magazine shortly before its release in 1994. Genre: Platformer: Developer: Fox Williams Publisher: Sunsoft Players: 1 Released: 1994
