The gameplay loop is very simple, yet it is so addictive!! The visuals are really cute and funny, good job gg!

The bear got so big I could barely reach to feed it xd

Submitted

Funny idea, nice controls, great visuals, good audio.

Charming game, made me laugh. We can never truly feed the bear inside us

Love the game. Couple recs would be a slider to adjust the sensitivity and make it so the target for feeding the bear is still ground-level even when he's huge.

Funny concept!

Submitted

Funny game. Gameplay gets a little repetitive since the anger meter bulids up so quickly which has you basically always close to the bear. I didn't really get the point of the scale blocks on the map. Still had fun though, and I think it's great for just 48 hours.

I enjoy the game quite a bit, running around shooting and collecting meat.

I think if there could be some improvements, there could be a sound or particle effect when you collect meat.

Also, I think that because the anger meter is pretty short, it discourages me from wanting to run around on the other side of the arena. Maybe there was a treasure over there I missed though.

I reached the 2nd level, but the anger meter was too much for me to maintain.

Also gotta love the cucumber image on the wall, haha

did u sprint? without it the game is imposible i think ( also there is a cheese in 1st lvl that u can click). If someone would told me before the end of the jam that its hard for them then i would make it longer bc i was kinda sceptical about that short time, but also wanted to make it a little bit longer, Thanks for the comment tho!

Submitted

Yep I did sprint, but I was too ignorant of the meter and lost in that way, it was my fault.

Maybe if possible, each quest that the bear gives is a checkpoint? I may have continued playing to the end if I didn’t have to restart all the questing with the bear. Cheeses can certainly help, I’ll see if i can find it.

Also, I forgot to mention, but I love the jank of the wolves, sometimes they rotate in funny ways and it is really charming :)

Yea if i wont take the last place i will probably continue working on it and make it a little easier, it will be easier making levels without the time limit (i know i made it in under 48hours but it was my first game jam and i didnt want to make it too long)

Submitted

The sensitivity seems a little high for me but overall this is a neat little game!

Submitted

Cool idea, a little too hard for me.

Developer

did u manage to beat it?

Submitted

no D:

Big bear. So hungry! =D Pretty fun!

Submitted

I found myself saying "Here eat this meat" every time I fed the bear.

Submitted

The vibe of this game goes crazy (in a good way) good work!

Is there a way to skip the text? It's annoying to have to wait every time you die.

Developer

Now you can :)
