What it is
Bubsy: Paws on Fire is a platformer by Choice Provisions, released in 2019 for Windows. Its story follows Bubsy and his archrivals as they try to stop Oinker P. Hamm from capturing animals for his Amazootorium. Four playable characters bring different mechanics: players can fly and shoot as The Woolie, explore Arnold's bonus levels, or run through stages as Bubsy and Virgil Reality. The game includes more than 100 levels across three worlds, three boss battles and a combo system with leaderboards for each character. Players can collect different items and unlock costumes and cosmetics through play; the listed description says there are no in-game purchases. Character dialogue varies by level, and familiar figures from earlier Bubsy games return. Steam features include single-player, achievements, full controller support, leaderboards, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing.
