Biography[]
One day, a kingdom which was peaceful, ruled by Queen Beeatrice, was ruined. The Queen was kidnapped, the inhabitants were mind-controlled by purple honey slop, and bears were kidnapped by the bees in order to avoid revolt. But then, a bear named Baaren, was the only one not to get kidnapped. As he woke up from his favorite tree, he walked around and saw that his residence, the Bear Village, was in utter ruins. He encounters a Backpacker named Shicka, who apparently is very smart and can guide Baaren through saving the kingdom.
Throughout the game, Baaren and Shicka explore levels, fight bosses, and free bears from cages. They then find the Hive, which is the place where the culprit responsible of ruining the kigdom resides in, and where purple honey is manufactured. The two finally reach the lair of the culprit, after encountering bees and a giant caterpillar. It turns out that the one responsible for everything that had happened was Baaren's brother. Baaren's brother explained that he always wanted to rule the kingdom alongside his brother, but Baaren refused, which led to him ruling the kingdom himself. He shot a laser beam from The Kernel, the artifact which can mind-control animals and turn normal honey into purple. Baaren dodges the laser attack perfectly, which prompted his brother to unleash Queen Beetrice, but mind-controlled. After a long battle of dodging attacks from the queen, Baaren gets chained on the floor, unable to move. Baaren's brother prepares to send another wave of lasers to his brother, when Shicka suddenly gets the hit for Baaren, making her giant. This prompted Baaren's brother to turn the gravity upside-down and fight her, but Shicka managed to defeat him by pushing him off a hole leading to the sky. He flies up, then falls down to the ground, causing the whole place to explode, presumably killing him.
Queen Beeatrice, now normal, and Baaren & Shicka, get teleported to a place away from the blast zone, and the Queen apologizes for not being herself back there. She thanks the duo for saving her and she throws a party to the kingdom as thanks.
Powers and Abilities[]
Baaren[]
- Walking and running: Baaren can both walk and run, simply travelling around an area.
- Jumping: He jumps with his signature grunt.
- Double jumping: He can also jump a second time, higher than his normal jump.
- Long jumping: He can travel to another point faster than walking by long-jumping.
- Diving: After a normal jump and a double jump, he can dive. Like long jumping, diving can help him travel faster.
- Double diving: He can do another dive if on air, which can make him travel way more farther.
- Belly stomping: He can belly stomp, similar to that of a ground pound. He can defeat an enemy near him when belly stomping.
- Stomp boosting: Same as a normal belly stomp, but when pressing B before hitting the ground, he can manage to jump higher, which can be useful to going on higher places than usual.
- Ledge grabbing: When falling near a ledge, he can grab on one to stop falling.
- Swimming: In water, he can swim, when both on the surface and underwater. But he can only swim underwater for a short period of time since he does need to breathe air or he will drown.
- Hitting: When coming across an enemy, he can hit it to defeat the enemy for only 2 minutes. This works well with objects and levers. If he hits an object, he grabs it, and if he hits a lever, he turns it to the opposite direction.
- Driving a Quad Bike or Paper Airplane: He can also drive a quad bike, and ride a paper airplane (when he's shrunken down)
Shicka[]
- Generally, she can't move a lot when on her normal size, but in the Hive, when she is giant, she has only two abilities to use in battle. They include:
- Spin: She can defeat an enemy nearby using her arms to spin her body around.
- Long Jump: She can travel through another points faster than walking.
- She can also use these abilities to:
- Deflect projectiles: She can deflect incoming projectiles when she spins.
- Destroy purple spikes: When near a purple spike, she can destroy it when spinning.
- Do parkour: She can manage to complete a parkour when long jumping.
Personality[]
Baaren[]
Baaren's personality is hard to express, considering he never talked in the game. But throughout the game, he seems like he is a nice person to everyone and is willing to help. He is willing to risk his life to save the world from evil, he also runs a lot so he must be extremely quick and loves to exercise. As seen in the beginning of the game, Baaren seems to sometimes run away from his problems, as seen when he somehow managed to avoid the raid in the Bear Village by sleeping with his favorite tree in the Tutorial Zone.
Shicka[]
Shicka seems to be very aware of situations and being able to guide Baaren without moving a muscle. She is a smart backpacker and is a great guide to Baaren when he doesn't know where to be, which shows how talkative she is. She is seen to be also strategic, as seen in the final boss when she said that they can't hurt the boss yet as we need to dodge the attacks first before attacking ourselves.
