❤ Gameplay Overview

In this word puzzle game, players spell words by selecting adjacent letters on a grid. The longer the word, the bigger the cute bear that appears on the board. Earning high scores allows players to win bears for their permanent collection, which can then be used as power-ups in future games.

❤ Word Building Mechanics

Players must form words from the random letter tiles presented on the board. Each letter has a point value, and the longer the word, the more points it earns. However, if a letter tile remains unused for too long, it turns into a stone, blocking that space on the board. This creates an engaging time-based challenge, as players must balance maximizing their word scores with clearing the board before it becomes too obstructed.

❤ Bear Power-Ups

One of the key features is the bear collection system. As players complete levels and earn high enough scores, they unlock new bears with unique abilities. These bears can then equip them in future games, providing boosts such as increased points for certain letter combinations, extended timers, or altering the frequency of letter appearances. Strategically selecting the right bears for each stage is an important part of progressing through the game.

❤ Variety of Game Modes

The game offers several different modes to keep the experience fresh. The story campaign presents a structured series of levels with specific objectives, while the daily mode offers randomized boards for players to compete against their friends. There is also a versus mode that allows for head-to-head multiplayer. Each mode provides a slightly different twist on the core word building mechanics, ensuring there is always something new to explore.

❤ Accessibility Features

The developer has made the game more user-friendly, especially in the transition from the original mobile version. Key improvements include the ability to use the keyboard for faster word entry, a real-time dictionary to look up word definitions, and the removal of any free-to-play or time-gating elements that were present in the mobile release.
