Courtesy of Touch Arcade:

Enviro-Bear 2010 is a bear driving a car simulator where you have five minutes to fatten yourself up and drive to your cave in preparation for winter. The controls are hilariously awful, and while the iPhone may be capable of multi-touch gestures, as a bear driving a car you only have one free paw which is what you use to drive around and scarf down food.

You can use your single paw to do all kinds of things, from putting the car in to drive or reverse, throwing just about anything (including the clock tracking your remaining time) out the window, and defending yourself from badgers.

One of the best, for sure. It's something characters in Aqua Teen Hunger force would make if they joined their forces.

dallow_bg · Jul 10, 2009

Blind bought it this morning.

dallow_bg · Jul 10, 2009

Ok, just played it.
WTF?

I drove around slowly until I hit a mountain. Some rocks fell down.
Grabbed one and put it on the gas pedal and threw it in reverse, now I was rockin'.

Drove around, ate some fish, crashed into another car being driven by another bear, and ate the berries that popped out. I hope they were berries.

Finally time to hibernate and I barely managed to get myself into the cave.

Final verdict, glad I bought it.

noob to ipod question: do I have to have a 3g to run this? It says I need the iphone 3.0 update but won't prompt me to download anything.

That means you need to upgrade your device to the 3.0 firmware via your computer in iTunes.

That's a typical gameplay experience, yeah. Now look forward to ravenous badgers.

This. But it was pretty hard to play with a mouse. I'd imagine it's a lot easier with touch controls.

Timo · Jul 10, 2009

You need 3.0 for this.

OMG, i'm doing teh rock trick on the gas pedal and flew through a river and now fish are falling (through the sunroof) right into my mouth.

There is almost nothing in that update for me man. I thought about it, but I won't use half of that shit, at most.

This is even better than the Scribblenauts time-traveling dinosaur quote.

shit, got stuck in another river, covered with fishbones and can't move. snow is piling up as i watch my time run out.

It's still pretty awkward to control in my opinion.

Oh, I was thinking in terms of multi-touch use and such. (of which there is none)

wish you could use his second paw for multi-touch action

Lord Error · Jul 10, 2009

If you're using the timer clock to press on the gas pedal, be sure to clinch it below the brake pedal - it will be much more likely to stay in place that way, if your car starts rolling!

NO - the game would be worse with multitouch. Much of the fun is all the stupid juggling of everything that you have to do with one paw.

Gomu Gomu · Jul 10, 2009

Damn you OP. Now I know I'm going to waste at least an hour playing this game

Why not 2010? The PC release was 2000, which makes less sense.

Enviro, well, It's 'an educational game about the ecology of bears.'

dunno and don't care.

btw, it's certain trees that dump bees on you. not stumps as i originally though... and badgers eat any food you might have in your car.

I started year 4 and suddenly my bear had this on his head:

FWIW, the dev said he made it 3.0 required by accident. An update is coming that will make it support 2.2

How about the ability to run apps that require 3.0?

Neckbeard69 · Jul 11, 2009

Havent laughed this hard in months. This game is so good.

Ended up with two badgers and a load of leaves in the car before getting snowed in.

Fuck 1943, im gonna play the shit out of this during the weekend.

teepo · Jul 11, 2009

i've played the pc version earlier in the year and can vouch for its awesomeness.
