Space Bear

Space Bear is a multi-choice text adventure typing game! Sort of. I mean, there isn't many actual choices, and the typing is more "mashing"...

About the Game

A “TYPING” “ADVENTURE” “GAME”

WHAT IS SPACE BEAR?
It is exactly what it sounds like

NO SERIOUSLY TELL ME ABOUT THE GAME ALREADY
It's a multi-choice text adventure typing game! Sort of. With some crappy graphics.

ANY UNIQUE MECHANICS?
Since you are play an impatient bear, instead of typing out the full sentence like OTHER typing games, you can just mash your paws on the keyboard to finish a sentence.

WHAT ABOUT THE STORY?
It's that tired old formula of a bear wearing a talking Spacesuit that has to save his planet from destruction. Look just play it and stop bothering me. It's only about 30 minutes long.

GIVE ME ONE REASON WHY I SHOULD PLAY IT
Well it's called Space Bear for one. Oh all right. There's a dance battle in it.

COOL IT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD!
It's not.

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU EXPECT TO PAY FOR SUCH QUALITY?
Nothing.

THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY UNSURPRISED TO LEARN THAT SPACE BEAR IS COMPLETELY FREE!
But I like advertisements, in-game purchases, freemium titles, in-game timers...

WELL...UHHH...WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL MAYBE?
What's the sequel about?

PROBABLY UNDERWATER BEAR
Any cool new sidekicks?

MAYBE A KLEPTOMANIAC DIVING SUIT WITH A FOUL TEMPER?
Wait, how did I become the one asking the questions?

UH...UM...TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOLKS!
