AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: A cute game that shows a platform adventure can be made with AGS. Unfortunately the jumping is more complicated than it should be due to the rolling effect, but this is a minor complaint.

Posted by uvaagsfan on 2007-10-12 at 08:08 (IP logged): Classic... very, very cool! Some of the jumps are a little difficult to make for instance in the cellar to the shelf and one of the branch-to-branches... otherwise very fun. Posted by madmanmunt on 2005-08-11 at 19:00 (IP logged): During the 1980s I developed a passionate hatred for clouds. This was just beginning to fade when I decided to download Bear Story, and suddenly it all came flooding back. Bear Story marks the debut of a superb new talent, Iceman. This game is a tribute to the legendary Dizzy games and it recreates the feel of those games wonderfully, from the way the main character jumps to the difficult and frustrating cloud sequence. Many will consider the cuteness of Bear Story and its simple story to be a downside but it is nothing of the sort. The game was made for its author's little brother which accounts for the child friendly style but Bear Story is a game that players of any age can enjoy. It helps if you have nostalgic rememberings of the Dizzy games but even if you've never heard of Dizzy you'll still enjoy this treat. It's a bright, attractive and endearing game that should provide you with a good hour and a half's gameplay. With the charming debut Bear Story and the unbelievable Da New Guys already under his belt, Iceman is definitely a hugely talented AGs author to watch.
