BEAR by graceavery

[raw]
made by graceavery for LD34 (COMPO)
BEAR is a shoot em' up about being a bear.
Shoot mooses (meese?). Avoid birds. Collect delicious garbage. Get your cub back.

There are only 2 buttons - Run and Gun. (Space bar and M Key)

Created in gamemaker , photoshop , audacity , and MS paint.

Go get bearvenge.

Known bugs/ Concerns:

- Moose- they CAN be killed, but due to a funky code thing you need to give
them a tiny amount of time where they aren't being shot to change states. If you fire continuously they will get stuck in a state and be invincible. They only really take 3 hits, just pause between them.

- Spiders - just run past them really quickly, they can all be avoided but they cannot be killed.

- MAC/WEB/ETC port: I am working on it and might post a post-ludum dare mac port at a later date.

Very lovely pixel art! The level was gorgeous! Extra points for bear puns; would bear to play again, honey.

Excellent. My favorite thing about this is that after endless crappy [read: amazing] bear-puns, the berry pickup is called 'BERRIES' and not 'BEAR-IES.'

Slow movement. But liked the graphics and liked the general idea!

The moose seem a bit busted but fun game none the less. Cute graphics and a neat mechanic. Nice :D

This game looks so adorable. Any way we can get a web or Mac port? I want to play.

Thanks for the comments and feedback, everybody!
I will attempt a Mac port, I think my version
of GM won't port to anything but .exe, but I'll definitely
look into it! 'v'

@siege I think the slow movement is just so you have time to get your bearings.

I like the cutesy art style, the contrast with the blood/particle explosions made me laugh out loud when I killed the first bunny. And definitely bonus points for the awful bear puns.

I'm curious as to why the bear is killing everything with leaves. I particularly like the art.

I liked ,the game on only go forward concept its also really satisfying killing stuff with the explosive blood animation, I also like the title screen. Why Photoshop and MS Paint tho?

Lovely pixel art, fun concept, I'm pretty sure it's exactly how bears hunt.

Had some trouble with some of the enemies, it's decent fun! The art is cute and the music doesn't get grating.

Pro:
+ Some sprites (specially the bear) are really nice
+ Art in general was cute
+ Nice idea
+ BEAR
Con:
- The craziness of the art was a bit confusing
- The lack of control made some enemies impossible to hit, and one bat was unreachable
Obs:
o So much blood!
o The moose seemed invincible

Great job!

Oops, I hit the submit button by accident ;_;
Continuation of above comment: very simple game, but it has charm :) Loved all the puns and the cute bear hug in the end was really heart warming \('o')/

Not bad, but could be less violent!
