Bears have evolved the ability to shapeshift into anything (or anyone) you can imagine! (Or maybe your eyesight is just really poor?) Either way, one wrong step could be your last in the randomly generated world of Super Bearland. Hunt those beasts down before they hunt you! Talk to people to get Clues about the Bear's location and disguise. Check objects to find the Tools you need to take the Bear down! But if you accidentally Talk to or Check the Bear, it's Game Over! Each round lasts 2-5 minutes, but no two games are alike with randomized levels, optional challenges, and a heaping helping of unlockables. Keep playing and experimenting to see if you can find them all!

Quick question though. How are longitude and latitude lines handled? Did I do something wrong? I was in a situation where: >I attempted challenge mode (don't pass by the bear twice) > I was in the bottom left corner of a 24 room map. > I explored the bottom 2x2 square there; on the bottom row, second from the left, I found out that the bear was somewhere to the east, implying that it wasn't in the two columns on the left of the screen (Because otherwise, it would be to the north or west). >I believe it was the middle row where a mermaid told me that the bear was on the same line of latitude. Since latitude lines are horizontal, I assumed the bear was on the third row, to the east. >I continued exploring the rest of the two columns to the left, but I died soon after. I didn't return to any towns. The town I died at was unexplored. It wasn't even on the the third row, but the second one. When it says pass by, does it mean passing by the town it's in by entering a town adjacent to it, or does it mean by entering the town the bear is in and leaving without catching it? Am I misinterpreting what the game meant? OR...are there liars in the game? Maybe I'm mis-remembering or maybe I wasn't paying attention?
That was how I perceived it, though I didn't strictly test it. So, if you were in the bottom left town and someone says "The bear is somewhere to the East". Then it could be in any square except the column you're in (a.k.a. the squares above you). Correct?

That's correct.

There should be bear repelant, so it moves the bear to a new location. And if there’s only one town that isn’t emptied you can say “The Bear Has No Where To Go!” or something

Ok, I tried playing a bunch of games with nothing but Pass hints... It looks to me like the pass system is working, even after switching game modes and playing multiple games in sequence. I think it might just be me doing a poor job explaining what a pass means? If it keeps acting up for you, let me know.

Pretty good idea actually, but I can't really think of an instance where this would be useful or add much to the game. Unless it was used against the player. If you knew where the bear was but not if it was a person or an object you could move it, but then you would be in the same predicament. Still kind of a cool idea. I think there should just be a challenge mode where the bear moves after you visit X number of towns.

I lost a round of the two-bear mode game. It counted it as a win for me, despite the bear score going up. I went from a ten to eleven win streak.

Good catch, I'll patch that up. That's what I get for adding winstreaks right before uploading

Weird, I'll look into that. Probably just tried to hide a sprite on the wrong screen. Sorry about that!

I’ve seen a similar error: I explored every single path and town, then got the error when I trapped the bear.

Got a fix ready to go for this one. (Also 12me21 I was finally able to reproduce that issue regarding the Walk Away Twice challenge. That'll be fixed in 1.0.3) Am I able to upload patches while we're mid voting? Or do I need to wait for the contest to complete?

Apparently not, you'll need to wait until the end of the contest

Ok, I'll hold off on uploading for a few days. Until then be sure to save often!

Yeah I think it's unfair that you can spawn in the same town as the bear, since it's just random chance and you're forced to do something in the starting town to even make progress.

It is guaranteed that your first action (Talk or Check) will not be a Bear - even if you move around first. Anything past that is fair game though!

I'm in a 3x3 environment. That's cool. I didn't feel like winning anyway.

Amazing game! The sprite work and art style is fantastic and the gameplay is addictive and fun! But the thing that I am most impressed with is the atmosphere, due to the way the game is played, when you get mauled by a bear, you never see it coming and it gets me every time with that jumpscare!
