Unleash your inner bear in this over-the-top bullet-hell FPS! Embark on a zany retro-futuristic adventure and destroy oil-thirsty robots with an outrageous arsenal. Transform into a bear, wield unique powers, and embrace the absurd fast-paced action of Bears in Space!
The game tasks players with blasting through hordes of robot enemies across a variety of vibrant, zany environments. At the core, the gameplay revolves around frantic, over-the-top combat that mixes traditional shooter mechanics with creative, unique weaponry and traversal abilities.
Players can double jump, dash, and quickly zip around the environments, allowing for dynamic, agile combat. This mobility is essential for navigating the dense, bullet-filled arenas and avoiding enemy attacks. The traversal mechanics feel tight and satisfying, elevating the moment-to-moment shooter action.
The game provides players with a vast arsenal of outrageous weapons and gadgets to unleash on their robot foes, from standard guns to more unconventional armaments like the Honey Cannon and Disco Ball Grenade. Most weapons can be upgraded over time, with each kill contributing experience points that eventually unlock new evolution tiers, adding new effects and enhancements. This progression system encourages players to experiment with different weapons and find their preferred playstyle.
Enemies flood the screen with waves of projectiles, testing players' reflexes and ability to weave through the onslaught. Managing the chaos, prioritizing targets, and making efficient use of the diverse weapon set is key to success. While challenging, the combat remains satisfying and empowering, especially when players start unlocking more powerful upgrades.
Interspersed throughout the levels are unique mini-games and side activities, ranging from top-down shooter segments to platforming challenges. These diversions provide a refreshing break from the frantic combat while still offering engaging, skill-based gameplay. Additionally, the game features a robust selection of collectibles, secret areas, and optional objectives to discover, catering to players who enjoy thorough exploration.
To cater to a wide range of player skill levels, the game includes customizable difficulty settings. Players can independently adjust the incoming and outgoing damage, allowing them to tune the challenge to their preference. The game also offers a "Platform Helper" mode, which makes the platforming sections significantly easier, making the experience more accessible for casual players or those new to the FPS genre.
