Author's Description: Beary's Bash is a platform game in it's early development. You advance to the next level by hitting the flag at the end of the course.

Right now, there are only about 6 or so levels. Each one gives an example of some basic types of gameplay that could be expanded into some more advanced types of puzzles.

• 8A good game, though it has some bugs.Press 0 key on the numpad to get a gun during the game play.

• 9Fast action. Mario like. Very good. The only bug is that you don't loose after you run out of lives. I guess the developer forgot to disable a debug flag.
