Not just the looks of a classic game, also the gameplay of a classic platformer. This game is NOT EASY! you have an endless amount of lives, so you can quickly restart a level when you miss a jump, get hit by an enemy, get bitten by a plant, get hit by a spiky-ball, crushed by big statues, run onto spikes, get hit by a wasp, or any of the other many ways you’ll get stopped in your run. BUT when you do complete a level, the rush you get will keep you coming back for more, and more, and more, and.. Unlock special temple levels by finding hidden keys, unlock a flip-mode by completing a level both within the time set, and also by collecting all the coins in a level. Stardash is all about the gameplay thrown at you in awesome retro graphics and original chiptunes. ** OTHERS SAY: "all the ingredients needed for platforming excellence" - iFanzine "Orange Pixel nailed everything they were going for in this veritable symphony of old school gaming." - Appolicious "back to my early years, playing my favorite platform games" - unbound gamer "if you’re not gonna grab this, you will miss something truly wonderful" - app-score

Beear is not your average platformer. This is the ultimate rage game experience — a chaotic, hilarious, and mind-bending puzzle platformer filled with invisible traps, reverse controls, collapsing floors, fake platforms, unexpected spikes, and unfair surprises that will make you rage, retry, and laugh out loud. What looks like a simple casual platformer turns into a game that trolls you every step of the way. Every level is crafted with pure chaos in mind — designed to test your reflexes, your patience, your logic, and even your memory. The only way to win is to fail... a lot. If you're a fan of hard mobile games, unfair platformers, or puzzle trap games, then Beear is for you. It's more than just a challenge — it’s a full-on war between you and the level designer’s evil imagination. Core Gameplay Features: Invisible Traps Watch your step — or don’t. Hidden spikes, collapsing platforms, and fake floors are waiting where you least expect them. Learn through trial and hilarious error. Reverse Controls One level your controls are normal. The next? Left becomes right, jump becomes duck, and your brain gets scrambled. Adapt fast or fail fast. Puzzle Platformer Chaos Every level is a logic puzzle disguised as a death trap. You'll need to remember patterns, analyze the environment, and avoid rushing blindly. Serious Challenge + Funny Vibes The levels are tough, but the tone is light. Each fail is a joke — and you're the punchline. Whether you're screaming or laughing, you're always having fun. Precision Platforming Timing matters. Reflexes matter. Strategy matters. You’ll need them all to make it to the end — especially when the level is lying to you.
