Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind is a 2D platform game in which the player controls the lynx Bubsy, who must go through 16 levels, collect items and kill enemies. The time limit stands in his way, and there is also a game mode for two players on one computer. In the game, enemy aliens called "Woolies" intend to steal Earth's supply of yarn balls. Since Bubsy has the world's largest collection of yarn balls, he has the most at stake and sets out to stop the Woolies and reclaim the yarn balls. The game plays as a 2D side-scrolling platformer. The player must maneuver Bubsy through the levels, jumping on Woolies, and collecting stray yarn balls (which earns the player an extra life if 500 are collected). The game consists of sixteen levels, and Bubsy starts off with nine lives. In general, the game's gameplay has been compared to the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the Genesis era. Originally a console-only title by Accolade, it was later released for the Windows 95 operating system in an improved version called Super Bubsy. The original release of the game also included a comic series pilot starring Bubsy.
