Puggsy is a quirky platformer that landed on the Sega Genesis in the early 90s. Developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Sega, this United States release brings you onto an alien planet alongside a strange, ball-like protagonist named Puggsy. It's an official retail title, not a hack or homebrew.
You control Puggsy through side-scrolling stages filled with traps, enemies, and puzzles. The core gameplay involves moving from left to right, jumping, and grabbing objects to solve environmental puzzles. Puggsy can push, pull, and throw items to overcome obstacles or defeat foes. The game has a weird, comedic tone that matches its bizarre premise.
Puggsy often gets overlooked in the Genesis library, overshadowed by bigger franchises. Yet its unique visual style and puzzle-platformer blend make it a refreshing change of pace. If you enjoy oddball platformers with a bit of brain-teasing, it's worth a playthrough. It's not a masterpiece, but it has charm.

How to play Puggsy online
Getting started: When you start Puggsy, you are placed in the first level with minimal instructions. Use the D-Pad to move and the A button (X key) to jump. Explore the environment and experiment with grabbing objects by pressing the B button (S key).
The core loop involves navigating levels, collecting items, and figuring out how to proceed using physics-based interactions. If stuck, try picking up and throwing things at enemies or blocks. Timing your jumps and understanding how objects behave is key.
There is no in-game map or tutorial, so curiosity is your best tool. The game rewards trial and error, and most puzzles have straightforward solutions once you understand the mechanics.
