A fun little challenge xD

Amazing pixel art. The gameplay is not incredibly deep and starting the game with a farting bear was a bold choice but nice funny entry.

It wasnt ideal but I couldn't figure out how to skip the first run of the coroutine in time 😁

Nice, thx for this addictive little game :)

Nice  concept, loved the art style and good sound effects. A little more variation in gameplay would make it even better. Good job!

The concept is really funny. I poked the bear 30 times! Lovely 2d Art! Also the cover image is perfect!

I indeed poked the bear, and I indeed paid the price.  You promised and you delivered.   Appealing art, but I wish there was more to it.  Would be a funny mobile game, or fit in a mini game collection 100%.

Nice work! :)

Poking flatulent bears, what could go wrong?

Pretty simple and silly concept. The art and music give it a nice charm. Good job!

Simple, effective art style! The death sound feels impactful and spooks me every time.

Overall an enjoyable little game.

It's very simple and cute concept. I love the self-made sounds, but death sound jumpscared me. Awesome pixelart.

Submitted(+1)

Ho my god I got jumpscared.

the game was simple and I loved the artwork.

the act of poking the bear can be even more impactful, give me even more juice!

good work!

Loved the bear the moment I saw it.

Super simple but works. The losing sound effect was just loud enough to give me a fright each time, so it reminded me of that crocodile dentist board game. The music was really pleasant too.

However, it could have been juicier. A little screen shake from poking the bear or when he notices you would been cool.

Regardless, well done!

Pretty repetitive but overall an interesting idea. I like that you didn't take the easy way out and just have the player buying things to progress the game in the spirit of the theme...you went a different way with it.

Got 42 points before being bitten ! Laughed at the concept and fun overall, even if some variation at some point could enhance the game.

It's fun, but I would like to see some evolution of the bear's state or changes of position etc...

Submitted(+1)

Fun little idea. Would appreciate a shot on my game too : )
