What a charming game! I'm pretty picky when it comes to 3D platformers, but the simplicity and flow is this games greatest strength.
Movement is quite streamlined with a button to jump and a button to attack and a triple jump from combining the two. I beat this game with a keyboard and mouse and honestly it didn't feel bad to play at any point. This game does a lot with very little which is something I greatly appreciate.
Soundtrack is good with a couple of bops I've gotten stuck in my head, visuals are lovely throughout, levels always feel perfectly paced. Perfectly priced with some nice replay value, it's one of my favorite 3D Platformers I've played.

I wasn't ever scared playing this game but there were a lot of moments where I went “Thats pretty cool!”
A lot of that is in the presentation. I grew up on the GBA, so I'm familiar with big sprites made to make up for small screen space as an aesthetic I remember fondly. And Bunny Graveyard captures that look and charm to a t. The game also boasts cutscenes with incredibly sharp compositions and directing that i don’t think any GBA game could pull off, which is a nice modern touch.
What also reminds me of the GBA is tha you only have two buttons and a d-pad at your disposal. This game is about simple mechanics that test your ability to hit Z with various mini games. And the various mini games they do with them are fun! Boxing was definitely the highlight with the fishing mini-game a close second. The final round of the fishing mini-game was probably the most tense I got during my playthrough.
Cause like I said, I was more impressed by the sleek spritework and craft even during the scary bits. The jumpscares I ran into during the final act, (where the game goes into more modern horror game territory with the usual stealth sections that reward failure with said jumpscares), they left me more impressed and loving the effort put into them rather than any sense of being rattled by the well crafted monster that caught me.
And that can be a big issue with this game for a lot people. I never thought it was that scary, but I don’t think it’s out of any attempt to appeal to the growing mascot horror audiences. I also fear with this game being assigned this genre by some that many will assume this game has the worst tropes that proliferate the genre, (cheap, uninspired, begging for lets players to lose their shit at it for videos upon videos)
Cause I think The Bunny Graveyard is anything but that. I didn’t leave game thinking “That was such a scary take on a haunted GBA game” but rather “Man wouldn’t it be cool if there were horror games on the GBA?”
And if there are any worth noting, do tell! I was five when I had my GBA, no way my parents would let me have any (if they exist).
