Bzzzt is so immediately comfortable and responsive to play that I feel like I've played it before many times. Maybe it's because in a way I have. None of Bzzzt's ideas will come across as original to anyone who's played a few platformers already, especially if Celeste is in that list. Still, I give the game major respect for simply feeling correct in my hands from the first minute.
The length of the game might be an issue for some, at just 2-2.5hrs for a first playthrough. This is the kind of game you're really supposed to 100% though, which bumps that up to a much more respectable 4-5hrs in total. A bigger problem than length for me was difficulty. Of the 52 levels there were only a handful that took serious effort to beat the trophy times for. So while Bzzzt feels great to control, there's very little in the game to test your problem-solving skills against.
I would strongly recommend Bzzzt. It's charming, fun and doesn't waste any of your time with its simple, skippable story and fast resets. My biggest caveat is that fans of the genre shouldn't expect the game to test or surprise them.
