Very fine game! Impressive that it was made during a 72h jam. Really great, but too short.
Reviews for "BearBound"
A fun and sweet made game.
For a game that was made in three days, this is awesome. The snowy terrain is beautiful, the story is cute, the gameplay is simple and easy to understand, the multiple endings add to the replay value of the game and encourages players to explore the landscape, and the music is nice to listen to. However, the time between blizzards need to be made a bit longer since it doesn't give the player much time to explore before receiving a warning that a blizzard is coming. A minimap of sorts also would've been a great help since it would make exploration easier and have the player not panic and frantically search when they receive a blizzard warning and with no badger burrow in sight. Asides from those two points, you did a fantastic job with this game, so kudos to you!
a very good, nicely drawn, well designed game.
this was done in 3 days? WOW!
very well done.
also the different endings+medals were a nice touch, and i kept playing it for those reasons.
however, despite the awesome game mechanics and the good/funny endings, i believe that this game has a few errors/negatives:
1. its TOO hard to enter a shelter/cave. the only way for me to enter such a cave in time, is by mashing all the arrow key buttons into the direction of the cave/shelter, and FAST.
if i am slower even by a mili-second, i am already doomed.
you should add an easier way for the bear to enter the caves/safehouses, such as the spacebar, or pressing a specific button, etc etc.
2. the game has a bit of a complex map. getting around and learning the terrain can be tricky in here.
thankfully, most of the areas in the map have safehouses/caves to stay in between blizzards, but the map is too huge, vast and complicated in some corners and spots, making it really hrad o find your way back to the other achievements.
also, each time i find a different ending/achievement, i get to start the game again from scratch.
this is not very nice. i believe that we should keep playing, and if the bear has low lives, it should have full lives (3) refilled after each successfull ending.
that is all, i know that you did this in 3 days, and its great, but im giving some advice to make this game more fun, if possible.
you did a great job btw
Cute, well made, short exploration game with a few amusing endings. Could use at least another mechanic or some flavour to make the exploration more interesting, but I guess that's for another jam.
