I love it, it's great. I love poking the bear. I love hearing the farts. I love watching bear get angry.

An enjoyable, short and funny game

Submitted(+1)

It's really simple but fun to play, but I feel that there should be a sign to know when it's gonna look at you.

Good entry!

Simple and fun !

Since there's no tell when the bear is about to look at the camera, it's often a little frustrating to lose  

Congrats for your entry though

weirdly comical and nice short game, one of the funniest for me, really good

Fun and chill game with great art! 

I think a camera shake when bitten and some kind of simple hit indicator when poking the bear would have been nice.

Great job overall!

the jumpscares everytime i get bitten! lmao

lack of juice i'd say, but cool concept in its simplicity ♥ i'd play more if i was'nt so scared 

Submitted(+2)

Great concept and was very fun to play! - I definitely wished there was more juice for the getting bit animation. Also the sound effect was a little strange for getting bit.

Fun little Game.
