Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is an action platformer where you play as Bugs collecting carrots and defeating enemies by hitting them with a mallet. You go up against various other Looney Tunes characters who are jealous of Bugs having a birthday celebration.
 
GoodBad
  • Can hide behind bushes
  • Jumping is responsive
  • Carrots you collect then become platforms to stand on
  • New lives are easy to obtain
  • Very weird hit boxes
  • Mallet attack is very slow
  • Cover system feels pointless
  • Random bonus rounds
  • Cannot attack after taking a hit until you wait a long time
  • Randomly vanishing platforms with no animation
  • Attacking is so frustrating, avoiding enemies is the best technique
  • Non-boss enemies have no relation to Looney Tunes

5Lacks the character that you would expect from a Looney Tunes game and a multitude of little issues make it a difficult game to recommend. Stopping you from attacking after a hit is a terrible design decision.
