Nice! Make that 2 bizarro game thingies I’ve seen this morning… Old thing I missed. +1 for interactivity on the Bear driving, though.

This game has been posted here before, right? Where else would it be discussed?

The badger is the star of the show for me, although the bear started to win my heart once I figured out I could make him roar (thanks Michael). I usually use the badger to sweep my dashboard clear of detritus, it’s got enough solid bulk to do the job perfectly, but it’ll also eat up any fish in the car so it’s still a baddie.

Fantastic game. The car steers a bit funny, if you’re at a stop and turn the wheel it jerks back to what it was at before — good thing there’s no parallel parking in the forest!

Still it’s got about 15 playthroughs out of me so far … not all the way to the end, mind you, farthest I got was year 3. Started out smack dab between a rock and a tree — so forget what I said about being no parallel parking in the forest.

Also, seeing the other bears driving around makes me think how much fun this would be if it were multiplayer. A race to hibernate in the only cave in the area that is still free.

As for the controls being bad Mr Meer, that’s wrong. The control system is awesome. Even my 8yr old daughter managed a good run on her first go. At least, until a wasp knocked a rock off of her dashboard and on to her accelerator. VROOM!

My first try was fun too, especially the badger tag-team I had to deal with.

Long live indie games!

This is awesome fun – I love it when the badger goes nuts inside the car :)

Every bear is issued a pumpkin orange sedan when it is mature enough to leave its mother, as dictated by the cruel laws of nature. Jesus, haven’t you people seen ANY nature documentaries or read a damn book?

the best part was when i realized that THE OTHER CARS ARE ALL BEING DRIVEN BY BEARS TOO
