“Compared to EDB1, a few new cool mechanics were introduced, but most importantly, movement feels really smooth and responsive. In EDB1, I kept thinking that I'm having fun despite clunky controls, but in this game, I had fun also because of them (wall jump is much better and hitboxes are good!).”

“It's fantastic that bears are given a platform, especially in a platformer. The emotional story of overcoming adversity, fun varied gameplay, and lots of replay value make it a great experience.”
