Honey Bear

By V Baker

Download

A strategy/maze game that sits somewhere between Baulderdash, Pacman and something I used to play at the arcades but can't for the life of me remember the name of.
Perhaps the author can describe it better :-)

"This is based on the 80's arcade game Pengo. It's a maze type game where you have to squash the monsters with the maze blocks and line up the three honey blocks for bonus points. I've included a two player option, (alternate goes). No sound at the moment, but maybe someone would like to try and add that."
