Bunnyfarm was a fictional arcade game released in around 1975-1980 by Bunny Smiles Incorporated, and served as the main focus of the episode that bares the same name.

Plot (In-Game)[]

On the day of the annual fruit festival, Bon and the gang find out that they haven't prepared any fruit for the big day. After Pete The Hippo offers them some fruit in exchange for some help around his farm, to which the gang happily agrees, thus kicking off the events of the game.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay is akin to early RPG's of the NES/Master System era, but with an emphesis on performing tasks and completing puzzles and minigames, rather than combat. The only thing the player can do besides moving around, is interact with objects and the environment. The game is split up in 5 seperate sections, each starring one of the The Showstoppers.

Relocate Project and Commercial[]

The cabinet was shown in a room during the "Technical Support" tape, and a screenshot from an early version of the game was teased at the end of Relocate Project, and showcased in the "Commercial" video.

Footage[]

Silent footage of the old version's Overworld and Hippo House was shown throughout the video, along with early versions of scenes that were later added in the 2021 version of the game.

BunnyFarm (Episode)[]

The game itself was the main focus of the third episode, being introduced to Sophie Walten by her girlfriend, Jenny Letterson. Jenny describes the game as being very glitchy, as well as the cabinet being very fragile. As Sophie progresses through it's minigames, the game begins to glitch out in supernatural ways, telling Sophie about the fates of her family and some of the BSI employees.

Trivia[]

  • Martin has confirmed that the actual in-game footage used in BunnyFarm was from a genuine playable build of the game, with edited footage. Though Martin doesn't have any plans on releasing it. However, some of the staff on this wiki are making a very accurate, playable recreation of the game.
  • Interestingly enough, evidence has come to suggest that the original BunnyFarm's sprites' aspect ratios were twice as large as the current BunnyFarm, despite still being created at half the aspect ratio, which explains why all the characters and objects looked much bigger in the original version of the game compared to the released version. One such example for instance is the black cat seen on the farm. In the original version it had an aspect ratio of "114x96", yet was smaller than the other characters despite being around the same size of the characters in the 2021 version. Yet in the 2021 version, the cat's sprite is different, now being around "32x50", properly scaling it to the other characters' sizes.
