REVENGE BEAR has had enough. Men with beards have been trying to prove their masculinity by attacking him with their fists for the longest time. Show them who is the boss by taking over their camp.
I made this game because I feel that bears take a lot of beatings in indie-gaming, so I decided to unleash the feral madness.
Controls:
< > - Move Space - Attack Ctrl - Unleash the special feral AOE attack
Edit: Thanks to @zenmumbler who was faster at porting the game to MacOs than myself! Amazing!
Thank you guys:) glad someone enjoyed it and it is working on other peoples pcs. I had some trouble with someone who tested it. If anyone has problems running it, I would really appreciate an error message report so I can try to fix it.
I like it, quite fun to play. Graphics and audio are awesome as well. The only thing that I didn't like was the auto enemy removal on level up. But overall I liked it :)
Bar Nead moar deadli Clahs. Baer want keel Hoomans. Hoomans try kell Bear. Bear wunt Revunge.
Translation: Bear needs more Deadly weapons. He just slicy-slicy. Needs Laser Claws at level 10. And increases health by 10 per level. OR, Upgrade shop. THAT would be Fantastic. Oh! And Fists of Rage needs to be Claws of Rage, and it should do 50% damage. Because as far as I can see, it only knockbacks.
I have planned some kind of upgrading system. For more aoe attacks, more health etc. And lots of more monsters of course. The game is in a very concept-like state right now.
Stunning graphics and really polished gameplay. Great entry, but once again I don't understand why somebody so talented did not try a more original interpretation of the theme. Anyway, great work!

It was really well done, and the controls felt mostly solid. It was fun to beat up the waves of enemies, but they all felt like reskins of the same basic AI.
Also, I never felt like the Villain, if anything it's all these intruders in my home that are the villains.
Love it. Revenge Bear was well animated but the dog was rushed. (I can tell it only has three frames total) It's always fun to beat down waves of enemies by yourself and the Fist of Revenge move is very satisfying.
Won't rate as I have a mac and can't play it. But from the story and shots, reminds me a lot of that Bear Fist Fighting game that recently ran a kickstarter campaign. You are onto something, keep working on it.
Thanks, everyone! I am very happy about the feedback, and I am working on more :) @ananasblau Fist of awesome, yes! my game is an indirect demake or something of it. My own fantasy story branch-off. I am glad someone noticed. You could take the bear out of that game and tell his story, this is how I imagined it. Cake & Code also suggested that he does not feel like the villain - The point is that you are the character that is always an enemy in most games. He has no decision over being a villain or not. Maybe he does not even want to. :)
I was a little on the fence about continuing a fairly repetitive gameplay experience, but then I blasted back a group of lumberjacks with several swipes and fist of revenge, and was immediately reminded of classic beat'em ups, Battletoads style.
Amazing pixel art with animations. Something that really made this cool but might seem minor is the curved level. I can't express enough how amazing the art and animations are though.
Excellent work, the pixel art and music is especially great. The campfire is gorgeous, but it make me think I'm going to protect the fire at the first time.
Bears get no breaks from humans, so this is awesome. Nice backdrop, good sounds and good scaling up of difficulty. I get completely overwhelmed by level 7. I'd describe the music as jungle funky.
Completely stand-alone, all frameworks etc included. I can only test this in 10.8, not sure if anything weird will happen in 10.7, 10.6 likely not supported, sorry.
@dek only thing I changed in the source is to change a few of your path includes to use \ instead of / (Clang doesn't like windows paths :) and I commented out the fps printf. You can link to the download if you want in your entry. Thanks for Revenge Bear!
8950 points. Simple but effective gameplay. Graphics and audio lovely and good... a little bit more depth in gameplay would make this game just perfect :D very good job!
Pretty beautiful background graphics! Personally i feel that the character pixel look does not fit with the visual stunning backgrounds. Also the intro font does not fit. But all in all a well polished game entry!
Good: Graphics, bear, fire, sound and animations. Great! I hammered the keyboard so much i accidently shut down the computer. =) Improve: Perhaps the ctrl key was a bad choice for special move since i somehow managed to shut down. *argh*
@nilstastic .. wow, what?! hahah. Yeah, I guess I might chance it, since ctrl+arrow key does some strange shit on mac. Thanks for the report! And thanks for the feedback everyone.
Hmm, I'm getting a server error trying to download this:

YES, REVENGE BEAR. WREAK YOUR HAVOC AMONG THE MANLY.
Obviously, this game was done very, very well. Breakdown-
Bad: -I'm not quite sure, really. Maybe it could use more backgrounds? -Oh, yeah, it's hard to tell why stages end when they end.
Good: +Very well detailed. I love how the men sometimes stop to puff out there chests in defiance. +Graphics are fantastic. +Story is both original and fun at the same time. I like how, where as anyone else would have made it a ridiculous monster or a giant cat or goat, you stuck with a bear. Gives it a really nice feel.
Really great visuals and works really smoothly at what it does, very fun. Though more of an indication when you can use your special attack would've been nice.
After I was playing for a level or two, I just couldn't attack. Not sure what that was about, but closing and reopening the game seemed to fix it. Also, your pixel art and background were nice, but I thought they didn't mix too well together. Your animations were pretty good though. Also, on the first level, I was surprised that there was no humans because the story was against humans, lol, but you sorted that out alright in the next levels. Nice game.
Wow, almost all the art is well polished for just 48-hours, along with the game mechanic! That's pretty awesome! Love the animations (though when the lumberjacks attack, it looked odd). The gameplay got a bit repetitive, all the enemies pretty much do the same thing. The tune was pretty catchy, however! =P
Thanks for reporting, David! @Everyone else, thanks for the feedback :) @ddionisio yeah, I did not manage to finish these lasts frames. My first LD, I miscalculated the time a bit :(

Now you can add more fx, more attacks, level ups, and so on
Good graphics, good music, a bear with a little more blood could be unforgettable game
