I Refuse to Hibernate! by Rose

[raw]
made by Rose for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

screenshot.png

The bear cubs don't want to hibernate, they want to stay up and play! But try as they might, they just keep nodding off...

Delay hibernation as long as you can by waking up sleepy bears. Choose a shape to use, then click an awake bear to wake up the bears around it.

Music is "Electric Fairyland" by Lowther and Bryan (freesoundtrackmusic.com).

Super cute! I am in love with the art style! It was also more challenging than I first thought, which i really enjoyed!

Really fun little puzzle game! It starts off seemingly pretty easy but then it gets much more challenging! I really enjoyed my time with it! Also, I love the graphics in the game, the bears are so cute!

Just amazing. The artwork is very clean and super cute, the first level is a great introduction, and the difficulty ramps up nicely! Great job!

This was one of my favorite games of the Jam. Its incredibly well polished for being made in such a short amount of time, I really enjoyed the puzzle aspect. It is so freaking cute too. Great time waster to play while fighting my own bout of sleepiness... yawn!

I love the bears so much! I like the puzzle incorporation into this game. Makes you think a little before clicking on a bear. The music is very relaxing. :)

Simple, cute, and fun! Great work on this. Losing is definitely inevitable in this game, so the theme is right on haha :)

I love seeing puzzle games in here and this one was perfect! Nice and light but it was still super satisfying to plan a couple of moves ahead and make the most of it. I managed 20 rounds. Also the art is insanely cute and the chill music is spot on! My only criticism is that it made me sleepy, or maybe that was from the jam... hehe. 5/5 one of the most polished jam games out there!

Those bears are so cute! Some nice hidden depth here — I wonder what it looks like when a real pro plays this game. They'd probably do better than my meager 15 turns.

Wow Such an interesting use of the theme! It surprised me in many ways, the graphis, the gameplay, even the music! Great job :two_hearts:

Incredibly polished game for the time constraints. Managed to get to turn 17. Great Job!

Super cute and very polished, the game is fun and very challening if you want to do it with a small amount of rounds.

Good job.

Super cute, and very clean presentation too! Nice work team. Wasn't expecting to find a new puzzle mechanic among all the entries, and this was a cool surprise. (And I managed to keep the cubs playing for 22 rounds after a few tries :bear: )

I liked the aesthetics, it's really cute! Might be nice to have an option to speed up or cut animations so that players can focus on the puzzle aspect

Super cute puzzle game! Very clean art. Nice simple controls. Fitting music. I got to 17 rounds. It would be cool have to have a special ability that charges up every X rounds to be able to wake up the whole board or something like that to extend the gameplay. Well done.

Pretty cool idea, and nice art work! Though the difficulty is maybe a little high to begin with.

So cute, the little bear really looks at you wide awake as if saying "what does 2 A.M. mean? :)"

The puzzle mechanics are pretty fun too, I wonder how it could be expanded post-jam.
