Clever idea, nice presentation. Love that you have a companion you can't directly control, only give simple 'directions' by throwing fish or spraying bear spray in its direction, and that you have to keep it from seeing tempting fish.

Gorgeous puzzle! Cool mechanics, my favourite is the rats XD. I love the lightning that goes from the bear, looks great! Thank you!

Unjoin the papers, pleaseThat bear is of a single mind! I really liked the hand drawn art, have you thought about drawing all the graphics by hand? That would look really unique.

Send NodesWe would have loved to but there were a few things which stopped us, first and foremost the time constraint of the Jam and the massive amount of time needed to have entirely watercolor art. Secondly our artist had never done animation watercolor before (it would have been an absolute pain to pull off. Finally Pixel art let us modify and adapt the art as needed technically while redoing water color art would have been very difficult. Thank you for your comment!
Very cool concept! A bit annoying with constantly throwing out fish to keep the bear away from the traps. But it wasn't too bad. Overall, quite fun.

Sticky Sword Stick ManI really liked the concept! very unique and some really cool game design.
I must admit - the roar at the start gave me a jump scare haha
Well done!
(Loved the fact that the bear goes to the water if there are fishes in it)

Me and My MonsterWatching the screenshots I expected something like a novel - great art by the way - but then realized, that's just the intro.
I think you could have continued this style and used this kind of graphic ingame, too.
Nice idea and well arranged puzzles. Haven't finished the game yet but will definetly play again. Well done.

Biff & ballNice level variety! Sometimes it felt a little unclear when I was getting in the water when being pulled by the bear. Impressive work for a short jam like this!

Boom ShroomsMakes me wish I had a bear buddy and at the same time glad I don't. The puzzles were alright, though some of them had way more items than needed. The game looks and sounds decent. I liked the paintings the most.

Joe & T-Bag: Mice In CupsVery good art, so many levels, but I think the last one was very easy (I think I only ever needed like 3 items out of 10 given). Regardless I really like this game, I played it through without even realizing how much I completed

Dependency MadnessThe art is good, the music is good, everything is good about this game. Interesting idea and great realization. Cool puzzle game, although sometimes feels like levels are a little bit too easy but it's great overall experience.
