Many people would write this off as a simple kids movie tie in game. But I say that the Seed system puts it over the edge. Basically, you collect and plant different seeds for different effects such as creating platforms or spawning berries. They can also be upgraded like giving you stronger berries and many of them are required to get the collectables of which there's many. It is faithful to the movie will making good use of improvisation. It's made by Travellers Tales, now known as TT Games who makes the Lego games and are usually good with their movie adaptations. When I got the PC version, I had issues with the controls sticking, yet I still kept playing the game, beating it. I would be interested if this gets re-released, now being unhindered by the control issues.
The first game I ever played on my very own PS1 was A Bug’s Life. I still remember unboxing the console, feeling that rush of excitement, and diving into the world of Flik and the ants. It wasn’t just a game—it was my game. Clumsy jumps, tricky platforming, collecting those precious seeds… every level felt like an adventure. The colorful worlds, the movie’s charm, and that nostalgic PS1 magic made it unforgettable. It might not have been the most groundbreaking game, but to me, it was pure joy.
Still haven't beat this game to this day, but I would like to rectify that one day, so let's get this on here! As far as I remember, it was a pretty rad 3D platformer collect-a-thon where you're teeny tiny (de_rats, anyone?). I vaguely remember getting this in a store at night, while my brothers got Starcraft (one of my favorite RTS games) around the same time.
A classic but very underrated game that rarely gets talked about, brings me back good memories, I played this game over 20 years ago when I had a ps1, such a fun and really interesting game.
