kisrael Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Loaded 4 BearAI An original Atari 2600 Death Match! Now with computer opponent! Do bears shoot in the woods? They do now! A frenetic deathmatch for one or two players... run through the leafy forest. Every time you shoot, you freeze, and lose your natural camouflage - but you can control your shot of bearish-doom right into your opponent. First bear to 10 hits wins! The original 2 player version was written in 48 hours for the Global Game Jame 2015 and featured the best Atari music this side of Gyruss and Pitfall II! The 2020 update adds a relentless-but-gullible computer opponent. UPDATE: new version drops the camouflage in one player mode, which should make things clearer PROTIP: the computer is fierce but not smart. If you can make it to the screen, the computer might be confused enough to give you some breathing room...

kisrael Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Nice coming back to this one. I've always loved games where the CPU opponent is playing by the same rules as the human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Do you have a video of what the gameplay is supposed to be like? I can't seem to make any distance between me and the CPU opponent. As soon as the game starts, he's right on top of me and pretty much stays there no matter how I move. I think either the AI needs some refinement or there's something I'm not understanding about how to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Fair points. I've modified the game to remove the "camouflage" (bears are the same color as the forest when not firing) when playing the computer, which should make the players more clear. As for tactics - the computer is fierce and in your face but can be confused if you make it to the scren edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Not too hard to beat once you get the idea. But the computer is relentless - which is kind of reflected in the intense music from the original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks for the video. That makes it a lot more understandable. I do like the idea of camouflage for 2-player, but removing it was probably a good move for the single player version. However, after seeing your video, I was able to easily beat the computer on both versions. The music is cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
