Take to the skies as a rocket-powered bear in Bearplane—a whimsical, action-packed adventure loosely inspired by the legendary tale of Wojtek, the bear who served alongside the Polish army in World War II. Command this fearless furball as he battles dastardly foes with outrageous abilities, explosive power-ups, and a whole lot of midair mayhem. DOPAMINE-FUELED COMBAT Soar through the skies as a rocket-powered bear and unleash chaos. Ram enemy planes, roast pilots mid-air with your jet flames, or unleash a mighty roar to scare enemy pilots straight out of their cockpits, sending their planes crashing into each other in chaotic, cartoonish fashion. 1940s-INSPIRED HAND-DRAWN ART From expressive animations to scenic backdrops, every frame bursts with 2D art inspired by the golden age of cartoons. It’s like playing a chaotic Saturday morning show… with way more explosions. RIFLE RAT CO-OP MODE Bring a friend into the fray! Player 2 can jump in anytime as Rifle Rat, your loyal, gun-toting sidekick. Just connect a controller and join the chaos. Team up for couch co-op mayhem and dominate the skies together. RIDICULOUS WEAPONS & POWERUPS Bazookas. Grenades. A full-on medieval joust. Your arsenal is anything but ordinary. Blast gunners, grenadiers, and spiked blimps with over-the-top firepower, then face off against the menacing airship boss. ATOMIC MILLS DELIGHTS Fuel your fury with power-ups from Atomic Mills—the makers of the world’s first atomic breakfast. Gobble Flappy Flakes to flap through the skies, chug Nukey Nectar for raw strength and speed, and pop open a bottle of Honey Thunder Cola to become an airborne powerhouse. These 1940s-era “nutritional experiments” turn every run into a nuclear-powered fever dream. OVER 50 DARING MISSIONS Tackle explosive missions designed to test your skill and creativity. Each one earns XP, helping you level up and enhance your bear’s abilities as you battle through an escalating air war. BEAR WITH FLAIR These hats aren’t just for looks—each one grants a unique power. Boost your speed, slow down time, summon Zeus’s personal lightning bolts, and more… all while looking sharp. DYNAMIC WEATHER & STUNNING SKIES Every flight brings cinematic skies and atmospheric flair. Brave rainstorms lit by flashes of lightning, soar through golden-hour sunsets, and outfly enemies under a glowing moon.
