Enter the World of LightBear
LightBear is a fresh take on the Rogue Like genre. You take control of a fat bear that is trying to escape a golden honey comb like object called the Golden Apiary.  As the bear gets further from his starting point he will lose his sight and needs to collect Light Spheres a long the way in order to progress further.


The game mechanics are simple but at the same time the ability to use those mechanics to get further is what is most challenging about this game. Rogue Likes in general are not easy, and this is no exception. Much practice is needed to reach the end.


LightBear History


LightBear started in 2008 as a simple idea and simple prototype that featured small rooms, very basic graphics, a map system, and the basic mechanic of the game of losing your sight the further you traveled from the center. This was offset by collecting lightbulbs.
 

Following some difficult experiences by the main programmer Brian Wilmeth, the prototype was lost and forgotten about. In 2017 it was re-programmed. The goal was to make the game worthy of a Nintendo Switch. Brian decided to learn art in blender and pyxel edit and finally released the game on Steam and the Epic store in early October of 2023.
