Gameplay

Space Bunnies Must Die! has the run-jump-climb-shoot style of gameplay, similar to the early Tomb Raider series. The game has nine levels, of varying levels of difficulty. On successfully completing those levels, there is a final level.

Reception

Panasonic Interactive Media, parent of Ripcord Games, invested heavily in Space Bunnies Must Die!'s advertising and development. However, it became a commercial failure: the NPD Group reported sales of 2,458 copies for 1998. The game was one of several missteps by Panasonic Interactive Media that led to its closure in March 1999, with Ripcord Games sold to an anonymous outside group.[2]

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "If you overlook the ridiculous plot and don't mind fighting your way through the bugs and smirking bunnies, you might actually enjoy yourself."[3]

Criticized for its bland gameplay, confusing levels, and game-breaking glitches, Space Bunnies Must Die! usually received mediocre or low scores in review.[4][5][6][7]
