Honeybear Sue is a small, honest pixel-art platformer about a hungry little bear on a sweet mission: reach the hive and collect every drop of honey along the way. Dash through 8 handcrafted levels that slowly turn up the heat. Early stages let you learn the ropes on sunny meadows; later ones throw spinning saws, bursts of fire, falling rocks and springy trampolines at you. Jump on slimes to squash them, grab big honeycombs for extra points, and find the hive at the end of each stage to move on. When you reach the final level, the Hive Guardian is waiting. Time your jumps, stomp it enough times, and the honey is yours. Features: - 8 handcrafted levels with a steady difficulty curve - A boss fight against the Hive Guardian - Simple one-thumb-friendly controls, tuned for both iPhone and iPad - Squashable enemies, honey to collect, and plenty of hazards to dodge - Chiptune music and sound, with a one-tap mute switch - Fully offline: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases Whether you have five minutes or fifteen, Honeybear Sue is an easy game to pick up and a satisfying one to finish. Grab the honey and help Sue home.

Cedar Latch turns the loft into a living signal board. Swap gems into cascading lines, then catch glowing telegraphs in a short parry window to break enemy posture and execute. Each Ante opens numbered berths on a node rail. Skirmishes teach pattern reading; Boss nodes force you to learn attack phases. Switch Jobs mid-fight so your matches exploit color weaknesses. Fail a parry and an ally Peg can fall for the rest of the run. Defeat still feeds Relic Echo — permanent tools that reshape the next climb. Progress is session-based: Continue a berth, draft relics, grow your Job codex, and chase deeper Antes. Grain Shelf Desk tunes light and amber accents. Privacy opens in an in-app browser.
