It has a pretty decent pathfind system, and will try to go around bales of hay instead of breaking them down. Combined with the low health of the items you can place, this makes the game pretty difficult, and I never once got the bear to stop eating my house, but it also stands out from similar games. The dynamic camera is a cool touch.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>PROTIP: You're gonna be tempted to build a solid line of hay. Don't, because the bear will just charge right through it. Instead, place hay and mud randomly on the map so the bear will waste its turn trying to go around them."},{"author_name":"Reis Mahnic","author_uid":"52764","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 4:47am","epoch":1429677720,"text":"Very solid!

The pathfinding was done very good. For further improvement there could be more impact, when our building has lost all HPs. There isn't a penalty for getting our building destroyed.
