BZZZT is a great platformer. The closest comparison I can make is Super Meat Boy , although BZZZT isn't nearly as difficult, it's a precision platformer where you're encouraged to beat levels as fast as possible. Additionally, the golden bolt collectibles in BZZZT are similar to meatboy's bandages, as going out of your way to collect them adds some extra challenge, but isn't required. In a way, it functions well as "baby's first precision platformer", but includes objectives and challenges that more experienced players will enjoy, and newer players can ease their way into. BZZZT is a short game; mileage will vary depending on your platforming skill. It took me about 80 minutes to beat the game, while collecting all the golden bolts. If you're someone who enjoys competing on leader boards, or speedrunning, you can easily get way more time out of the game. There are speed challenges for each level, and "insane" difficulty where you only get 7 lives to beat the entire game. While I certainly believe I could tackle all the speed challenges, insane difficulty seems quite challenging (maybe I'll 100% the game someday once the backlog is cleared). I really enjoyed BZZZT . I'm not the type of person to complain about a game's length, I'd much rather have a really polished experience and BZZZT is absolutely that. The graphics, music, and gameplay are all high quality - I was really into the game from the moment I picked it up and was encouraged to complete some flawless challenges after beating it. If you enjoy platformers, definitely consider getting BZZZT .

I thoroughly enjoyed this gem! The game looks and sounds amazing, both on the Steam Deck and on an ultrawide monitor. More importantly, its mechanics are perfectly polished. The controls are very precise, and when you die, you know it's only because of your own clumsiness, not because of the game. No, I'm not a hardcore precision platformer genre fan. I've only played Super Meat Boy and Celeste so far, but I really enjoyed Bzzzt a lot. I played it at a relaxed pace, tackling only two to five levels per day, and it really helped me unwind after a hard day at work. It's funny how some levels from the first half of the game now seem very easy to me, even though when I first attempted them, they seemed almost impossible. I believe I'll continue to revisit this game from time to time in the future, especially since there are still some levels I aim to "golden". If it hasn't been clear from what I've written so far, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME.

This game represents everything great about the games we played as a child. Put differently: This game is exactly how we *remember* games from the past looking, playing and sounding. The game's full of charm, homages, great gameplay and excellent music. It's a platformer, so you might think you'd get frustrated quite quickly but the game never feels overly difficult. It manages to carefully skirt the line between "too easy" and "too hard" perfectly. I can't recommend this game enough and I can't wait to see what the developer produces in the future. :)

I wanted to play something that I can finish in one session. So, I picked bzzzt. I am impressed, I didn’t expect it to be that good. Good precision platformer and good soundtrack.

Jan. 2024

I found this game on accident, but it caught my eye. After eventually buying the game I can say its definitely a fun ride. Levels can be tricky but are never super challenging or drawn out. If you want to go for a challenge though there time requirements and collectibles to collect in each level for 100% but even if your're not it will still be an enjoyable time!
