That's a fun question. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an official name. A player from Oman once wrote a comment in which they say that they named the four bears Tomato, Potato, Blueberry and Strawberry. I find these super cute :)
Hey, thanks for adding the categories. Although, I'm not sure about 2 player to 250. Even 100 with 2p is quite difficult, but as you wish :)
I agree.
On the other hand, unlocking all achievements is a lot more difficult than scoring 250. In fact, one of the achievements is to score almost 1000 points 🤷
You can always run the game in a private (incognito) window. This lets you start a fresh new game every time, and your progress when you play in a regular browser window will remain intact. ;)
I hope this helps
Hey runners,
Would it be possible to add a race to 250 points for 1 player as well?
I feel like it would be slightly more interesting because there would be more parameters to consider, more room for improvement, and the random positioning of acorns would even out a bit more over time.
Just a random thought :)
Cheers!
Hey @orange8321, thanks for your interest. The following few updates will be related to boring technical stuff, rather then the gameplay itself. So, I can't promise anything yet, but there’s a possibility of more content coming in the future, particularly for multiplayer :)
Oh, thank you so much. It means a lot :)
You might also like "Fixing Time" (also on POKI)
It's similar to Shady Bears but perhaps better suited for speedrunning.
Cheers!
As for choosing the level, perhaps all levels should be allowed. There's no major gameplay differences other than the position of the platforms (and the vertical wrap). So maybe some of the layouts can be exploited to reach 100 points even quicker :)
Thank you all for adding the game to speedrun.com. Shady Bears was actually originally made in 2016 under a different name, but now it got improved and rereleased :)
Good luck!
It would be nice if the mods can change the "Website" URL as well. Also the year is 2024 ;)
Cheers!
Hey runners,
I'm the author of Shady Bears.
It might sound strange but shadybears.org is not an official website of this game. Someone bought this domain and uploaded a copy of the game without permission. We will try to put it down. By the way, it uses an old version of the game. The official (latest) version of the game can only be found on poki.com (https://poki.com/en/g/shady-bears).
Happy running,
Stefan
