Your aim is to.. smash.. things and.. wreak.. generic havoc. Take that, society.\r\n\r\nYou're a British Gangsta youth yob whose only aim is to misrepresent bears amongst the animal kingdom.\r\n\r\nIt takes place in some deranged puppet form. It's vaguely like a running game, except you have full control of your character's direction, attacks, dodges, equipped weapon, etc.\r\n\r\nThis video shows a gameplay clip, that shows you the way for killing most animals, if that's helpful:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ijM7GhCjLBQ&hd=1\r\n\r\nA few tips to help you in the early bits:\r\nIf you hold down left click, you'll keep hitting.\r\nRight click\/space (best for in the browser) dodges. You become invincible for a short time and jump back.\r\n\r\nEach bad guy has a strategy to defeat them.\r\n\r\nFor instance, edge towards pigs. They only follow you after you hit them once, and they have 2HP. If you start hitting them from as far away as you can, they'll come after you, but they'll die before you land a blow.\r\n\r\nFlamingos give SWAG, which is your health. They won't run until you attack them. Hit them in their middle and keep chasing to get them.\r\n\r\nBats can be hit on the middle of the wing, but can only hit from their body. The best way to take down a bat is to hit them twice, dodge and then hit again.\r\n\r\nBeavers, ostriches etc. should just be killed as fast as fast as possible. They won't land a blow if you let them come to you and hit at the right time.\r\n\r\nFor guys with guns, wait until it says BANG and then they tilt back. Just before they tilt back, when the BANG reaches the gun, dodge. If you dodge at the very end of your sin curve then you won't get hit.\r\n\r\nThey're easier once you have full SWAGGER and you go faster.\r\n\r\nFor bears and boars, land one blow then jump back, then another hit before they get close. Much easier once you have a baseball bat.\r\n\r\nDestroy bins with chainsaws and traps\/beehives with a baseball bat to get extra SWAG too.\r\n\r\nThen lions and cyberdemons are just a case of.. run back and hit slowly.\r\n\r\nEver monster follows one of those path types, so you can extrapolate for the rest.\r\n\r\nSometimes it's about getting a nice path with a lot of SWAG materia, but ultimately it can be done just with great skill.\r\n\r\nList of creatures:\r\n\r\nGRASS SPAWNERS:\r\nSheep - Docile\r\nGoats (+1!)  - Kill these for SWAG.\r\nPunch Drunk Pigs - Policecop pigs who punch you.\r\nDark Knights - AKA bats. Should've called them Battymen in hindsight.\r\nOstriches - Swoop down.\r\nBaseball Bats.\r\nArmy Boars.\r\nBrown Bears.\r\nWide Load Pig - A pig with a pistol. Dodge when it says \"Bang\"\r\nFlyin' Lions - Masked superheroes\r\nRocket Boars - Use Rocket Launchers.\r\nCyberdemons - He's the chief of police.\r\nTrident Lions - If you meet one of these, you will die.\r\n\r\nPOND SPAWNERS:\r\nDucks - Docile\r\nFlamingos - Kill for SWAG\r\nFurry Beavers - Fast and annoying.\r\nChainsaw Beavers - ARGH. They do 3 damage.\r\nGlockodiles - Use shotguns. Not glocks. Pretty OP. Just like in IRL. Execpt without the whole.. shotgun.. thing.\r\n\r\nThere's also bear traps, bins and beehives that you can destroy with weapons for SWAG.\r\n\r\nMax out your SWAGGER bar to hustle. But don't get too cocky with it; you're not invincible.\r\n\r\nWhen you right click (or space) to dodge, you are temporarily invincible though, so that's useful, but it has cooldown.\r\n\r\nThe chainsaw does 3 damage, but it's pretty slow. The bat does 2 damage and has good range. The claws are really fast but have low range and only do 1 damage.\r\n\r\n#YOLO, but when you die you can REWIIIIIND to see how far you've come and restart the game. You'll also be told what killed you, how many kills you had and protips on beating what killed you.\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, I would absolutely love if you sent me a tweet if you got to a really spectacular monster or got particularly far. If people like this I might put a high score board on my site. @Vorpal_Games\r\n\r\nEach monster seems fair, especially given that you'll have new weapons, but you should think about what weapon you use and when to dodge. If you play for a while you can get really good at dodging everything.\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!<\/p>","title":"Rude Bear"}
