Planned for Windows PC

You are an enormous cartoon bear in a forest far too elegant for you, and your holiday plans involve a lot of honey and very little tidying. Big Bad Bear in the Magic Forest is a 2D platformer played from the side: run, jump and smash your way through a storybook forest full of gnomes, knights, wizards and goblins who really should have stayed out of the way. The violence is pure cartoon slapstick, all squashes, bonks and dizzy birds, and the humour is in every thump.
