The Fx are close to them of Alleycat..... that's all I like here
To have points, or not, is too much depending on random.
Sometimes you play a game with 1 bear over level one and level two...
sometimes you play level one with up to 4 bears approaching.
Sometimes the bears are faster than the salmon.... so you really have no chance to go/swim further.
I had even a level two, with no Fisherman.... sometime up to 5 are approaching.
Sometimes, when jumping over the green, the Salmon is jumping... sometimes the game puts him "elsewhere" and the game is finished...
.... and, if the birds are intended to catch the salmon, it even has no chance to escape.

My score 3498.

Sorry, but I have no idea why people like this kind of game.
A bit more "leveldesign" and everything was ok.

I just wish there were a way to kill the damn white bear! Is it me or does that thing fly ?

yeah, I have forgotten that white bear... I appeared once in a game and I didnt have any chance to escape. (nice game, although is a little random, but you need fast reflexes

You can press the button and pull back on stick to go under water - you can avoid all obstacles doing this but you move very slow.

yeah! I didnt realized that feature. I think i'll try more to get better score

[Goochman]

3444 - I think the bigger question here is why doesnt the bear eat the fisherman when they are on the screen at the same time - The fisherman should have lots of fish to eat!

Never played this game before, its kind of fun and relaxing, at least until a bear comes along.

And the sound effect of the running stream is really worth hearing!

The extro is nice too.

Relaxing game!

In case you did not know, you can hide under water after jumping by holding down on the joystick.

6079 - Caught a picture of our favorite white bear and fishermen

Forgot about the birds in this game - they are a good way to get ahead since no bears coming out when the birds are flying - Watchout for fishermen though!

What happens when switching from 50 to 60Hz for this game?

After that, I did easily a score of 9486 ....

Anyone may test it also.
With 50Hz the bears are faster moving than with 60Hz, birds are slower etc.
It seems to depend one the "more cpu-cycles" when using 50Hz. So f.e. the bears are adjusting the hor. position faster.

[emkay]

2nd try with 60Hz : 38213

[Goochman]

Fantastic emkay!

Another 50/60mhz impacted game
