I really liked this entry! I would say it could use one extra thing, a SFX when you are hurt, otherwise a great entry! really good :)

Best jam game yet! Nice job! The bear was hilarious

I get that I'm playing a bear, but why is he so bouncy? Is he the unholy offspring of Tigger and Pooh?

Short, sweet and fun!

haha that was fun! I love the down arrow mechanic, it was really intuitive and rewarding when it worked :)

I was hoping for a pirate with a bear for a beard. :(

Funny game!

A bear pirate alone is awesome already! The bounce mechanic is pretty cool, but tricky to master! The music is nice and the visuals crisp, overall a very good entry!

Cute bear sprite! The gameplay is unexpectedly intense though, with both character and enemy movement faster than I would have expected. I don't know why I'm crushing enemies with a bear bounce but I'm having a good time.

That's very funny, and rather hard, actually! Love it!

It's strangely satisfying jumping up high and squashing all those pirates in one go! Really fun game mechanic and the art style is nice! Definitely an idea with lots of potential

This is an excellent idea for the theme 5/5. Graphics work for the entry, the only problem is that while you are on the ground you have absolutely no defense until you bounce up again. Maybe if you had a bop button that knocks them back with your belly as some sort of defense.

it was fun, bouncing up and down, really satisfactory :D

That's one satisfying attack Bearbeard has! You may not have made the audio but you still chose it and it adds to the game alot. Great fun!

Cute and fun! The UI looks great. If you work on it more, I think it would be great to give the rest of the graphics that level of detail.

What a cute game! BearBeard and quest for the Honey :D Nice. I liked whole gameplay, it was pretty fun.

Bounce bounce. Very great job.

Pretty sweet game (see what i did there?). Nice music choice, it sets the right tone to the game. From gameplay standpoint it's fine but game could be a bit longer and more challenging, nonetheless it was fun to play.

Excellent idea, I love the bouncing belly weapon concept! :)
The game is quite beautiful too (I like the cartoony style), and very very fun to play (but challenging)

One suggestion: maybe it would make the game easier to play if when pressing "down" the bear would stop bouncing immediately - I was hit a lot of time because I wasn't jumping high enough, and pressing "down", waiting for the bear to reach the ground, then "up" again was too much to do before getting hit by the enemies (or maybe you should slow down the enemies a bit?)

Anyway, great work, I enjoyed your entry a lot! :)

Ahaha, the way he runs is so cute and fun! Very nice game and awesome music.
I really like when Ludum Dare games have the end.
The captain Bearbeard is adorable.
