Star Fuzzbee 2 Demo

Casual games usually feature deceivingly simple concepts and ideas, which although don’t look like much when observed from the outside, they can become incredibly addictive in a rather short timespan. Whether it’s the challenge of completing one more level or the pleasure of being able to achieve better results with more practice, simple ideas can be a lot of fun in the long run.

Star Fuzzbee 2 is a game in which your purpose is to bounce from object to object and reach as high as you can, while trying to maintain speed and use the bursts as efficiently as possible. The object you control appears to be some kind of furry, one-eyed creature with no other significant characteristics, but it makes little difference to the gameplay anyway.

Speaking of which, all you have to do in order to keep ascending is move from left to right, in an attempt to touch the clouds or the rockets that fly above. By doing so, you are propelled upward and you can reach higher altitudes, although it takes a lot of practice to do so effectively. Not only that, but nothing can help you if you fail a jump or two, because the said clouds stop spawning behind you.

Every once in a while, a giant flying worm makes an appearance, and it occupies the better portion of the screen. Sometimes, it is pretty much impossible to avoid it, which is frustrating because you die instantly at the smallest contact with the creature. However, if you manage to gain enough momentum from early on, you can avoid the encounter entirely and just keep on ascending unhindered.

There are bugs and glitches to ruin the fun, however, although bad design has a lot to do with it as well. In some cases, luck has the biggest impact on your progress, because the clouds are not positioned in such a way as to allow you to reach them in time. The graphics are very simple, and there is nothing exciting happening for minutes on end.

When it’s all said and done, Star Fuzzbee 2 comes with a pretty hefty bag of annoyances that might ruin the fun. However, it is also quite challenging and entertaining for a short while, so you might still be compelled to keep going.
