Not to be confused with the Thunderbunny variation (I realise Google brings up a bunch of other things, but hey, that’ll give me ideas for Christmas)!
This is a platformer inspired by Sonic, with pastel tones, fairly playable and smooth. The aim of the game is to reach the exit of the level within the time limit and without starving or dying of thirst (check out the carrot and water gauges at the bottom-right of the screen). Sometimes you’ll be asked to collect some kind of magical stopwatch, which is located at the end of a secondary level, accessed through a door, usually well hidden. These secondary levels are characterised by being vertically structured (kind of like Top Banana or Bubble Dizzy, to name just a few classics). There are four worlds in total, each holding its own boss.
The game is cute but generic. The time limit and the noise you make when jumping (which drives you up the wall and straight into a tree) are the only flaws I’d point out.
Go for the CD32 version (first link), which is a bit nicer on the eye and won’t require you to swap disks.
