It certainly seems like Amiga Power picked almost every cute platformer the Amiga has to offer, but you can't blame them for picking this one.
This game could be classified as a puzzle platformer, though the puzzle elements are pretty light. You guide Bubba around different levels, aided by his trusty friend Stix - who is a stick. You can throw him, swing him to hit enemies, and use him to interact with the landscape - to climb onto high ledges, for example. The graphics are colourful and cartoon-like, and it's a change from the typical platform fare.

It's a nice, gentle game with some lovely comic touches, and is certainly worth a look for fans of puzzle platformers. There is a CD32 version, but unless you really need an animated intro and CD soundtrack, you're not missing much.
