Visually a stylish platformer, done for a ludum dare (time constrained) contest. The art's the winning element of everything that's laid out here as the game itself isn't very complex. The story goes like this: a bear has to gather acorns for his hedgehog buddy who's not doing well in a toxic world ruined by humans. Bear runs around in a fishbowl filled with oxygen, that gets refilled at the start of each level and at oxygen pumps. Kept me busy for a bit. About the only real criticism I have is that it's not very deep and some of the jumps are much tighter than they need to be for a game like this (not very forgiving). Not my choice, but then it's probably a conscious design choice by the designers. Regardless, it's worth your time to check it out. Go for the download version over the web one, the music's worth it (the web version doesn't have music). Designed with GameMaker Studio.
