It doesn’t take much to convince me to drop 99 cents on an App Store app. I was sold on Enviro-Bear 2010 ($0.99) even before I finished reading Brandon Boyer’s description at Offworld.
Enviro-Bear 2010 puts players in the role of a bear driving a car. Don’t bother with the Clerks jokes — the author’s already got them covered. As a bear, your mission is to eat as much food as possible before your scheduled winter hibernation.
Since you’re a lazy bear, though, you’ve waited until the last minute to gorge yourself. Winter arrives in five minutes. You have no choice but to commandeer the nearest car and race through the forest, eating any fish and berries that may fall into your vehicle, and driving yourself to a cave before you’re buried in snow.
It’s Enviro-Bear’s execution that really sells it. Bears aren’t the best drivers, see, and you only have one free paw to alternate between steering, accelerating, eating, and tossing the occasional crazed badger through your sunroof.
It’s brilliant, basically. If you’re not completely sold on Enviro-Bear 2010 yet, the gameplay video below (taken from the original PC version) should finish the job.
I want this game!!! :D
