CODE Bunny

“The two main characters have very different, yet familiar gameplay styles—you can think of Hazel as the 'Mega Man' character and Axel as the 'Sonic' character, with the levels being shockingly well designed for both of their kits.”

“Its gameplay is pretty well done, with the stages clearly made with both characters in mind, and said characters have well-designed mechanics that allow them to stand out clearly from one another.”

“The gameplay mechanics are relatively simple to learn but have freedom and nuance you'll need to learn for S and S+ ranks.”

“One cannot talk about this game without mentioning the music which is honestly extremely catchy and fun—I haven't gotten the final stage's theme out of my head since I first heard it a few weeks ago.”

“Complementing this is a soundtrack that matches the game’s pace, reinforcing the sense of momentum and helping maintain immersion during high-speed sequences.”

“Art style and music go with the whole 2D platform old-school theme, featuring nice chiptune music and colorful pixel art following a color scheme for each place you're in. The gradient is very well balanced—you can tell what's stage, what's enemy, what's background, what's platform, what's attack. That is crucial for platforming games and it gets the job well done here.”

“Visually, Code Bunny adopts a vibrant pixel-art style infused with light cyberpunk influences.”

“The graphics are colorful and beautiful, the controls are tight and responsive, the characters are well-written and unique, and the story is thoughtful and engaging.”

“Art style and music go with the whole 2D platform oldschool theme, nice chiptune music and colorful pixel art following a color scheme for each place you're in. The gradient is very well balanced: you can tell what's stage, what's enemy, what's background, what's platform, what's attack. That is crucial for platforming games and it gets the job well done here, and all the sprites are also pretty well done.”

“It also enhances the game’s replay value, as mastering both characters requires adapting to their unique strengths rather than relying on a single playstyle.”

“This would be a shame but there is enough replayability in going for S ranks on all of the stages and bosses, especially when looked at from a speedrunning perspective, which the game very kindly caters to with a dedicated speedrunning mode.”

“On top of everything it gets right, the game also has great replay value; its length is to where you can easily sit down, have a quick go, and come back for more later.”

“Code Bunny was a masterpiece. Its only flaw is how unknown it is. The story in this game is super compelling, and despite a very short run time, it captivated me with all the characters and their stories. I loved talking to them all and wish I could keep going with the story even though the ending was very well done. The whole game is such a hidden gem; the style, story, and character design are top notch. I can't praise this game enough and truly recommend it from the bottom of my heart.”

“It goes without saying that all of the art and spritework in this game is gorgeous, and all of the character designs are cute and endearing.”

“The game may not blow you away but it's well put together and makes for a fun quick adventure with charming character designs.”

“This distinction encourages replaying levels to explore different strategies and refine performance.”

“Aside from this, I've not had any gripes with performance, nor have I encountered any bugs or glitches.”

“The levels are bug free.”
