BZZZT is a great platformer. The closest comparison I can make is Super Meat Boy, although BZZZT isn't nearly as difficult, it's a precision platformer where you're encouraged to beat levels as fast as possible. Additionally, the golden bolt collectibles in BZZZT are similar to meatboy's bandages, as going out of your way to collect them adds some extra challenge, but isn't required. In a way, it functions well as "baby's first precision platformer", but includes objectives and challenges that more experienced players will enjoy, and newer players can ease their way into.
BZZZT is a short game; mileage will vary depending on your platforming skill. It took me about 80 minutes to beat the game, while collecting all the golden bolts. If you're someone who enjoys competing on leader boards, or speedrunning, you can easily get way more time out of the game. There are speed challenges for each level, and "insane" difficulty where you only get 7 lives to beat the entire game. While I certainly believe I could tackle all the speed challenges, insane difficulty seems quite challenging (maybe I'll 100% the game someday once the backlog is cleared).
I really enjoyed BZZZT. I'm not the type of person to complain about a game's length, I'd much rather have a really polished experience and BZZZT is absolutely that. The graphics, music, and gameplay are all high quality - I was really into the game from the moment I picked it up and was encouraged to complete some flawless challenges after beating it. If you enjoy platformers, definitely consider getting BZZZT.

Controversial Opinion, but I liked this better than Celeste. 8.5/10
It's a great precision platformer. I don't like the genre much, but completed this one to a fairly high standard on normal difficulty, and while it was challenging, it was enjoyable throughout.
It does nothing to reinvent the wheel, but it has just about perfected it.

As much as I love Metroidvanias it’s nice to have a level based 2D platformer. It feels so rare nowadays. This one is really good. If you go for everything there’s plenty to get your money’s worth. Going fast for the speedrun time is pretty fun or getting a perfect on every level. The perfect is the speedrun time and all the parts. Not everything about the game is great. My biggest problem is that the hitboxes feel off. It might be me but I’ve felt like I’m not touching the thing and still die. There are 76 levels (48 + 4 bosses + 24 bonus levels postgame that you unlock by getting perfects). Most of the levels are great or good but I really didn’t like some of them. A few levels are gimmick based and some say it’s a nice change of pace but I didn’t have fun with most of them. Thankfully there aren't that many of those. The final boss kinda sucked. Not that hard just really long. A 2 minute fight and kept messing up a minute in. The bonus levels were by far the best levels in the game.
You start off with just a jump then quickly get a double jump then a dash. The game gets really good once you get the dash. Most games you only get one dash in the air but there’s no limit here. It’s really fun moving around in the air to get a fast time and items.
Overall as much as some parts made me angry the rest of the game makes up for it. This game has a hard mode that’s normal but with 7 lives. Not a chance I can beat the game (52 levels) with 7 lives. The only achievement I can’t get. 24/25 hurts lol

Short and sweet 2D platformer that feels great to play. The flawless runs add some replayability and overall it's just a very polished game. If you like 2D platformers this is an easy recommend!

As I was playing the final bossfight, I was thinking about what I was going to write here. I had decided to play on normal mode (which btw should be caled hard mode) wich meant every level took me waay longer than I thought. The fianl bossfight took me 2 hours to beat and made me want to uninstall my PC. But then the end credits hit and I teard up. This game is a masterpiece. I met Karel Homolka on agame developers session in Prague and I would call him the Czech Toby Fox. He made an addicting, cute, hard asf game thats better than most AAA games nowadays. And the sountrack mixes 8-bit music with 80s vibes and results in an absolute banger. Definitely something you should play. Games like this give the indie genre a good name.

Just beat the game. Visually the game is amazing. I love the colors and sprite animations as well as how the animations for the enemy objects have very clear timing to them. As far as gameplay I really like how as you progress through the levels it introduces new abilities to spice things up and the level designs grow with each new upgrade. I thought the level design was very challenging. Me and my friend died over 100 times to beat the game. I was surprised at the comedic element of the game. I tried to jump on Emilys head as she was flying around as a monitor and she actually responded to it. Nice little touches like that. I can see this game as a franchise.
