Game get's impossible after a while, since the spawning seems to get a little too much too fast. Overall pretty good game."},{"author_name":"Rulrite","author_uid":"46265","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:12pm","epoch":1429564020,"text":"I love the humour in this game - the title, the backstory, and the general contrast between the bear and... everything else.

I loved the drawn art, and the background was excellent. Bear arms is a funny weapon too =) \r\rOne tip, to get your bullets to spawn at the bear's mouth instead of your avatar's center, you can attach an empty game object to your avatar prefab (I called it Muzzle), and place the Muzzle at the mouth of the bear. Then, in the script that fires the gun, find the Muzzle object (and save it off) and use its transform as the spawn location of your bullet. It's nice because then you can make adjustments without having to rewrite your script.\r\rWell done!"},{"author_name":"PanKamil","author_uid":"51362","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 8:41am","epoch":1429950960,"text":"Very eerie artstyle, for a game about rainbow-puking bear. I will definately remember it.\r\rBtw, you gave us two possible resolutions, and kill count doesn't work on one of them :P.

This was our first time making a game together, we used about 15 hours to develop Bear Arms.\r\n\r\nWe are a two-man team, where JP Lammi did all the coding and game building in Unity, M. Lahti did the art assets.\r\n\r\nThis was a very fun experience and we learned a lot. We plan to continue to develop this game more in the future, as we didn't have the time to implement polishing features like animations and gameplay features like power-ups etc.\r\n\r\nWe hope you like our game and we are looking forward to taking part in future jams, as this was such a great experience. We joined the SeAMK DevHub real world gathering for LudumDare32 where we developed our game, along with several other devteams and solo devs. Making games is great fun :)","title":"Bear Arms"}
