I first played this game in 2014 at Pax in Seattle. I eventually walked away from the demo realizing I played one of the best party games I've ever seen. I've tried to keep up with it's development, but life (and my own indie studio) got in the way. A couple of us were reminiscing about Bearzerkers today at our studio and I decided do check-in on it. AND THEN WE PLAYED FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS! I'm so excited for this game and the developers, as I remember them in 2014, are great people. Please buy this game and share it with your friends. =) *An actual review* The game has simple mechanics... you move, you kick up ground, and there are powerups. That's it. And it's all you need. You run from bears, you kick up ground to block your friends in hopes of them getting eaten, and you survive. The music is fine, the escalating bears is exciting, and the party replayability is amazing. 9/10, WILL PLAY AGAIN.

About This Game
Game Modes:
HUNT
Trap other players using rock walls, and activate your powerups at just the right moment on your way to killing the hell out of everyone. The end goal of HUNT is simple, be the last Critter left with the Bear. HUNT is a last man standing scenario with a variable number of bears, lives, and powerups, spread across a broad selection of open, twisting maps.
GAUNTLET
The second mode however is about moment to moment cooperation through the chaos. In GAUNTLET players must work together and use their skills in tandem to reach the end of a deliriously dangerous death zone. Here, a single touch from any of the enemies within means death, though other players can save each other with a touch of their own. As you progress you level up and become more powerful, but with equal measure the challenge is raised. This mode is also playable alone for extra challenge.
The Goods:
- Painstakingly created beautiful 3D world with a lovely hand painted art style.
- Powerups galore await you in Hunt to give you the edge, as well as totally different abilities and gameplay for your Critter pals in Gauntlet.
- Inappropriately kickass soundtrack and sounds from musician Tommy Gough.

User Reviews
Pretty fun game, I don't write a ton of reviews for games and since this game is fairly new I thought I'd contribute a review. I played this with my girlfriend and another couple last night, lots of "freak out" screaming was had by the girls while the bears ran around chasing us haha. We played through all the current levels in arena and got decently far in the coop mode. I suspect with time this game will have some cool updates for maps, and abilities etc. I think it would be cool if they made it so you could play one of the bears and chase your friends around :)
Great fun to play with a small group of friends. Love that it has both a competitive and co-op multiplayer modes. Art direction is superb. Really liking the level variety.
Heaps of fun with a couple friends! Also challenging yourself to the gauntlet can really be difficult and rewarding :D
