Did halfbrick get bought out by private equity or something? Sad. It’s a good game and there are no third party ads, but now you’ve got a monthly cost to access it. ### 1/5 — Locked behind subscription *2025-09-27, version 1.1.7* You can install the game but you can't play it, you are forced to pay a monthly subscription to play this, it doesn't matter if you've spent money on it in the past or if you have fond memories of it, this despicable company has decided it doesn't care about their loyal customers. Boycott halfbrick. ### 3/5 — Great game, bad payment model *2024-09-26, version 1.1.7* Great to see this game back! Really! I loved this game so much and was thrilled to see it return but that was quickly tainted by this new Halfbrick+ payment model. I really didn't mind the old way of paying! I would even totally just outright pay for this game. I understand you have to keep the lights on but I don't think this is it. ### 1/5 — Horrible. Forced subscription *2024-06-26* After about 60 mins of gameplay the game asks to pay via subscription. Very unfortunate for a good game. And in those 60 mins of free play there are so may ads. Horrible. ### 5/5 — Nostalgic for me *2024-03-15, version 1.1.5* I recently was looking at my old history of apps I use to own and I remember playing this back in 2015 and I loved it so much I was just a little kid back then and this game brought me so much joy I had to play it again 9 years later :) ### 1/5 — NAO ABRE *2024-03-11* …. ### 5/5 — So glad it’s back! *2023-12-10, version 1.1.5* I’ve loved this game for years! So happy it’s playable again! ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work any more!!! *2020-10-18, version 1.1.4* Quite sad that this app has been taken off of the App Store, such a fun game. I hope one day it gets back on. :(( ### 4/5 — Stop the restart *2020-03-29, version 1.1.4* I wanted to play this game because I love halfbricks games and especially this, but I want to play the game from where I started from not the beginning ## Frequently asked questions about Bears vs. Art ### What is Bears vs. Art?
