Four bears, one beehive. Nobody gets left behind!

Play local co-op with your friends in this short, but sweet puzzle platformer with tiny bears trying to get their honey fix before winter comes around.

Jump on platforms, push logs, bounce on mushrooms, and most importantly, avoid the spiky bear-unaliving thorns. They hurt a lot.


The Protagonists

Meet the bears! From left to right, we've got Gary the Grizzly Bear, Barry the Black Bear, Perry the Polar Bear, and last but not least, Simon the Panda Bear.

Hold on, what's a panda and a polar bear doing all the way out here? I guess they're just visiting their cousins before winter starts, I suppose. Or perhaps they're lost and looking to find their way back home.

Should we help them? Nah, they're probably going to be fine.

Right?

For The Best Experience

Playing with 4 controllers is recommended for the best experience, but the second-best option is to play with external keyboards plugged in to prevent n-key rollover.
