Bear-throwing puzzles and battles with a post-apocalyptic artstyle and bizarre story, made unplayable by awful controls.

Demo Reward#

Using Trialbears

It seems playing a demo version would have unlocked golden "Trialbears" for use in the main game, but no such linked demo was ever released.

Demo-related strings:

Well, this is it for the demo.
You're fun to play with!
I hope you decide to come back.
Be seeing you!


That's it for the demo.
It's fun to have someone to play with!
I hope you come back again soon!
Bye for now!


You've received a special reward!
Trialbears
Lets you use Trialbears
instead of the standard bear units.

From the demo data leftover in the game's scripts, it appears the demos were going to contain four puzzles (stages 5, 9, 11, and a unique trial stage) and three battles (stages 4, 5, and 10).

The Trialbears are also called "Prize bears" in the debug menu and "体験版ごほうびクマ"('Demo version reward bears') in comments in script files.

Debug Menus#

Extensive debug menus exist, and can be re-enabled by editing the file SystemData.nut and setting debug to true.

Then, they can be accessed anytime using the 1 and 2 Buttons, however the 1 Button menu has a lot more options if used during a stage.
