About the Game

Take to the skies as a rocket-powered bear in Bearplane—a whimsical, action-packed adventure loosely inspired by the legendary tale of Wojtek, the bear who served alongside the Polish army in World War II. Command this fearless furball as he battles dastardly foes with outrageous abilities, explosive power-ups, and a whole lot of midair mayhem.

Ram! Roast! Roar! Victory awaits!

Rain down righteous justice from above! Ram enemy aircraft into scrap metal, roast bad guys mid-flight with blazing jet flames, or belt out a sky-shaking roar that ejects foes straight from their cockpits. The skies won’t know what hit ’em.

Suit up, power up, and look sharp!

Every hero needs an arsenal... and flair! Equip bazookas, jousting lances, and other wild weapons of sky-bound destruction. Then top it all off with a tactical hat built for glory. Some hats supercharge your firepower, others give you the edge in snow, rain, or stormy skies. The right loadout turns you into a flying fortress!

From the makers of the world’s first atomic breakfast.

Gobble Flappy Flakes, chug Nukey Nectar, and pop open a bottle of Honey Thunder Cola. These top-secret “nutritional breakthroughs” supercharge your mission with flapping flight, blistering speed, and brute strength. Side effects may include total domination.

Co-op Chaos

Grab a controller and enlist a co-pilot! Player 2 joins the ranks as Rifle Rat, your brave, gun-toting sidekick. Join forces, double your firepower, and deliver freedom—one explosion at a time.
