Mute, magician-wannabe bear puppet, Sooty, and his pals, Sweep and Sue, have been sadly underemployed in the gaming world over the years given their longstanding popularity on the old tellybox, spanning many generations of viewers. Mostly they appear in extremely limited educational titles aimed at tiny, ickle whipper-snappers. Not hardcore gamers such as myself who'd rather play as Sooty in an edgy, blood-thirsty action-platformer like the one discussed here courtesy of Alternative Software.
Sweep, it would appear, has carelessly left the door open, allowing a parade of creepy-crawlies to march in, ransacking their home sweet home. It's our task - playing as Sooty or Sweep - to navigate around these living obstacles collecting all the bones. It's not clear why they don't then use these obvious weapons to splat the squatting invaders. Maybe Mr or Mrs plot-writer had a pie in the oven and got distracted. It should be noted that Sue remains underrepresented in the gaming medium, shunted to the sidelines to watch. She'd have, quite rightly, hired a specialist discrimination lawyer if this happened today. Black and white panda lives matter too!
