Polar Bear Game

This is a very cute game. A lot to be desired and the combat is essentially meaningless, but building my house was fun enough, and by time I was done with my little fenced house, I was pretty happy with how it looked.

I would love for this game to get badges so I could display a little polar bear badge.

wow!!!! so talented!!!!!

I destroyed my irl TV cuz I thought it was evil

Essentially you are supposed to gather resources, build, and fight monsters like many other sandbox open-world games. However, this game is so limited in what you can actually do that it would be disingenuous to call it a sandbox. You only have a single hotbar’s worth of items (12 if I remember correctly) so your creativity is shot, that is right it is not that you can only hold 12 items, the game only has that many. Combat is nothing but holding down the right-click button and praying that you are at the right distance to hit the enemy while being out of their range. After killing a bunch of enemies and/or gathering an obscene number of resources you then level up either HP or Stamina. This is especially annoying because the balancing feels weird, I found that balancing the health and stamina was the best way to go and so there is a right way to play. You would hope that enemies would be interesting, they are not all the variety that enemies have is their size and health. And true to the arctic, the …
