Bear Story (Updated to v1.3)

Cittymom of course, since her/his problem shouldn't be there if her/his archiver's version is new enough.

But of course you can also post which version you are using to compress your game so she/he can check if it's really because she/he's using a too old version.

[cittymom]

Thanks for suggestions.   My WinZip is an older version and I will update later today and will see if that helps.  Thanks, again.

*sniff*Ã,  I can't download it.Ã,  It just goes to a blank screen with an X on it.

Edit: Never mind.  I finally got it to work.

I haven't played any of the Dizzy games, but I liked Bear Story a lot!  Fun game with good mix of platform and puzzles.

IceBox Games:
Bear Story v1.3


Introduction

What do you get when you combine the style and gameplay of the Dizzy games of yesteryear with the disturbingly cute?  A short and sweet throwback to the classic egg-related adventures of the early 90s.


Story

Are you sure you want to know?

You play Bear, who runs his own airline: Bear Airways.  Today is the day of the company's annual shareholder's conference, and Bear has a big speech planned.  However, Bully Bear catches him and locks him in his bedroom!  Can you help Bear escape and make it to the conference in time?  Well, can you?

I did warn you.

Cheers 
I'll see if I can change the file's extension.

Iceman your game is adorable. i like it. But I am having trouble solvling it. Can you give me a little tip. I got out of the door from the first room and was able to get two coins, one in the first room and one under the bed, but what next? I can't seem to do anything else.

[IceMan]

Why thank you! 

You can jump out the window on the far left (in the room with the coin under the bed).

I just finished this game today. It was great fun! Now release the damn DNG2 already.

[desimaui]

Iceman what tree because if its that skinny one byt he steps, I can't do anything with that. I found the key but what do i do with it???

[IceMan]

The tree to the left of the shed.

I'm afraid the whole game was a collection of family in-jokes: the key you found unlocks the cellar in the far right screen (I "accidentally" got locked in there, and the key "accidentally" got thrown down the garden, you see  :)

Sorry to barge in on the festivities, but surely there must be a better board, called Hints and Tips, to ask these questions, instead of bumping a year-old thread. Yeah, the "I liked it" bit is relevant, but that's hardly the main content of the post.

And now that I have sucessfully broken two very important rules by both acting as a moderator and helping the thread stray off-topic, let me just re-state that I love this game, IceMan, especially since you re-worked the jumping issues.

[desimaui]

OOps, sorry I thought I was in hints and tips. Iceman Where is the cellar and what about the tree. I can't seem to climb any of them.

[IceMan]

Cheers Rui!  I remember coding that jumping stuff was a pain in the backside - glad it was appreciated! 

Desimaui: Jump from the side onto the branches that stick out, and use the key in the far-right edge of the room under the stairs.

Phew!  Only 50% off-topic!

[desimaui]

Okay made it to the top of the tree. (phew this hopping is exhausting and I don't mean for the bear.) I am having trouble getting across on the clouds. Can you give me a clue as to how to do it do he doesn't fall back down to ground. What do I do with ice cube?

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Oh come on now, this is really too much.

I see no one had answered your last question. This is probably one of the few occasions in which it is excuseable to double-post - so as not to let it go from the first page when you REALLY need that hint.
