Flight of the Teddy Bear by chrisp
Guide the teddy bear to the exit of each level. Watch out for the nasty orange bears! Stay in their sight too long and they'll shoot you! (With invisible guns.)
Created mostly under compo rules, except I decided to finish after the deadline instead of pulling an all-nighter on a work night (Sunday). :)

I'm kidding, besides having no instructions whatsoever (I started bashing keys after my first death. I even thought I would have to close the game to keep playing!) you created a pretty slick mechanic.
Great game, congrats!
Yeah, ran out of time to add audio unfortunately. I also wanted to add tutorial text, and effects to provide better feedback on enemy state. And the AI logic could use some tweaking. Still, I'm happy with what I managed to get done in the extra-constrained time I had available (fitting around work).
Thanks both!
I feel dumb but I'm totally stuck on the level I'm on. (think it's 4 or 5). There's a bear in the corner of a room with a diagonal, two ways to enter the room and LOTS of ways to die ;). It seems like there's only so many things I can try and none of them work. It doesn't really help that the only interaction or feedback I get from the other bear is (camera pan,"exclamation point," camera pan, [be shot by invisible bullets now?])
What you probably didn't notice is that when an orange bear sees you, he gets a question mark over his head. In your next move, if he still sees you, he has an exclamation mark over him. On the next move - if he still sees you, you'll die. If he doesn't see you, he will try to follow you. You need to use this following mechanic to your advantage.
The game is almost too simple when you know that, but no ingame instructions and explaining the rules whatsoever makes it unnecessarily difficult. Graphics are fine, although camera movement needs some tweaking. This could be a nice puzzle game for kids.
