Battle Bears BLAST!!!-0.99(Skyvu)

I'm sure almost everyone has heard of the popular game series Battle Bears featuring lovable bears and the Huggables who would love nothing better than to hug them to death. This crazy story actually starts in the second BB game which is the prequel to the first original one.  BB3 on the other hand has no storyline and the only thing linked to the previous games(they are free right now) are the main characters Wil and Oliver.

The controls are very simple in this game and in fact it is boasted that you can play with just one hand. You use the finger of your choice to drag a aiming reticle across the screen inflating huggables to the popping point as you do so. The weapon you use to blow up hordes of these huggables is a microwave.  Let me get this straight now before I go any further, this is by no means a hardcore game akin to the last two Battle Bears but a casual game that incorporates the same characters in fun high score gameplay. That being said it is certainly not a bad game in fact its just the opposite just know that its in a different category than its predecessors.

There are two game modes called 60 seconds and Survival.  In Survival you of course try to get the highest score possible without dying.  Its game over when you either shoot Wil who from time to time runs across the screen or get hugged three times by the Huggables. In 60 seconds you have exactly 60 seconds to get the most amount of points possible while trying to get the combos that show up at the top of the screen.

A nifty feature included in the game is the Objective system. There are 10 objectives total that you gain by completing certain goals in the two game modes. When you finish a objective you get a new item you can use to customize your bear.  The Backpack is the place to go to customize your bear and a variety of skins and costumes are available by of course completing the objectives. Also you can change the properties of your microwave and that influences aspects of the game like making enemies faster and doubling the points you get from each one popped. Bombs can take out a whole screen of huggables and are dropped randomly by Wil who will run,float,fly,or skip across the screen hysterically.

Overall this is a great arcade shooting game that's just perfect for those 60 seconds you have in the restroom stall before people start getting suspicious or for long devoted playthroughs trying to beat your friends high scores.  There is a lot of content for your 0.99 and future FREE updates have been promised to the people who have already bought it.  I was able to get a bit of a insiders tip on the contents of some of the update which at the moment will include: a pirate themed level, more costumes, and more gameplay modes.

What are you waiting for? Get your Bear on!
