A great game to have some fun. It was really fun to shoot around as a Bear. Jumping across the water is a bit hard though.

Thanks @extrone! I think it's something I could improve on too, I consider it far from finished. I'm taking a break from jams for a little bit so I can sharpen my skills with GameMaker a bit, and just learn more about game developing in general, I'm pretty new to all this, but it is fun.

Definitely has that signature Zombie Virals feel I remember from the last game! I really like this game. The idea of combining platforming with education is a great fit for the theme, because not only is it an unexpected combination, but it actually works really well by framing knowledge as the reward for completing a challenge. You could make a pretty good children's game with this concept (just don't make a game for kids about, uhmm *cough* "bear" penis *cough*). My only gripe is that after Logic Gates of Hell, I was expecting a bigger finale, but instead, this game doesn't really go any further than the core gameplay. A big boss fight against a teddy bear or something would have been fun.

@david-boeger Thanks! I had originally planned on making this game bigger with a boss fight, but so much was going wrong during the weekend that I couldn't get to that, BUT this game will be patched after LD, along with my previous two now that I'm taking a break from jams. I didn't even have time for a proper jump animation, a proper sprite for ammo, health bar, points, timer, better sound, etc.., so many things I wanted to do but I blew so much time on making the game feel and look decent, lol.

That's cool game. Very hard but very fun :) I like the visuals. Audio: I like that deep base line - feels like a bear is next room ;)

Funny game, I always run out of ammo.

I wish you would include humour - enemies art just cracks me up. Overall great game!

I love the enemy art, and the screenshake on shoot! NEED MOAR BEAR FACTS

Hey! Heads up, it's a good idea to tag your game as a windows game so people like me with macs don't try to play them :)

zombie-virals 2018-05-07 01:54

@Jezzamon Sorry about that, I think I even screwed up on the link in general as well, it was last minute and things went all screwy. I'm also regretful I didn't make a Mac build, I had a free license with GameMaker, I tried going back and making a Mac build recently for my friend to play and it wouldn't even open my game since my license ran out :(

Funny game.

Solid controls, nice action, and entertaining facts. I especially like the character artwork.

Nice game! Great work, good to know that I can't eat polar bear livers hahaha

paulo-brunassi 2018-05-07 20:11

Good work, keep on game development and most of all having fun with it! Loved the graphics.

Pretty fun! I had a hard time getting past the second level, but enjoyed the art and humor!

kyperbelt 2018-05-09 04:28

nice game man! I go tthe the end of the second level and got the to be continued message but i didnt notice it for a while hahaha so i tried to go back thinking i missed something lol.

I like all the different types of enemies. The Bees were really annoying because they are super fast.
