One departure that Boogie Bunnies does make is your field of movement, while most puzzle games only allow you to maneuver at bottom of the screen; this game lets you attempt to score points from the sides as well. This strategy is really only useful if you know you can get some points, as any bunnies you toss that don’t match up will sit there while the ones in the main rows move forward, making it almost impossible to set up any combos. Certain colors of bunnies will have more functionality, such as when you match three red ones they will burst taking surrounding bunnies with them for more points. When you match three of the aqua colored ones then the game lives up to its namesake and all of the bunnies start to get their freak on for about ten seconds.

 

 

The Bunnies placed to the sides end up becoming usless

 

While the bunnies are busy dancing away any more matches you make will be worth double the points. If you aren’t distracted by the annoying music and jeers from the jiving animals, the swirling of so many colors may make it hard to concentrate, as the game does feature fairly bright colors especially on an HD set. Other than the colorful animations, Boogie Bunnies does little else graphically to impress, with basic models and backgrounds that seem uninspired and don’t have a whole lot going on. As for the sound there is only one audio track, which you will get tired of, but thankfully it can be turned off. The bunnies themselves sound about as sugar coated as they look, and can kind of get on your nerves as they never shut up when your bunny targets them.

 

Boogie Bunnies doesn’t really offer too much outside of the core puzzle solving mechanics that we have all seen many times over, and the fact that they occasionally dance just isn’t enough of a development for the genre. The game is also lacking in the multiplayer department, only sporting a cooperative mode than can bring some additional replay ability, but besides having another player chucking bunnies, not much changes. There really is no reason why a few basic adversarial modes could have been added. In the end Boogie Bunnies offers tired mechanics that may work, but just aren’t very original, and as said earlier the game does seem to be geared towards a younger audience. This is one better left in the hands of those who have a deeper appreciation for pink fluffy things, which is probably what the presentation and selling idea was founded on.

 

 Our Rating for Boogie Bunnies Review
6.3
Fun Factor
Despite having a bunch of dancing colorful bunnies, the game doesn’t manage to stay entertaining.
7.0
Graphics
There are some pretty colors here, but the bacgrounds are pretty generic.
5.0
Sound
Only one audio track and the bunnies voices can get annoying.
4.8
Multiplayer
Only one mode, co-op, that doesn’t offer any new gameplay elements.
6.8
Single Player
A tired old puzzle system that doesn’t bring enough new things to the table, and quickly gets repetetive.
8.0
Controls
Pretty straightforward and simple, aiming can be a bit tricky at times.
6.5
Overall
This was definitely made with a younger audience in mind, so prepare for blatant cuteness but not much substance.
