World 2 — In the Village Across rooftops and ledges, with chained dogs and farmers in your way.
World 3 — On the Road Ride on trucks while crows dive from above.
World 4 — The Town Apartment blocks, building sites, clocks and lifts — the forest draws closer.
World 5 — The Dark Forest Across branches and rotten walkways to the Great Witch.

What makes BrezelBub a retro game

Classic platforming

Jump, collect, dodge, defeat enemies and reach the goal house at the end of each stage — right in your browser.

Retro gaming, newly built
