Polar Bear in Space for C64

Last Updated on May 29, 2024

Retro gaming publisher Psytronik has announced the upcoming release of Polar Bear in Space, a new Commodore 64 game by Silvan Reinhold.

The concept is simple:

Take control of an extremely cute Polar Bear in his quest to run, jump and zap through various alien-infested levels whilst collecting krystals.

With the appearance of a traditional space shmup only with the space fighter replaced with a polar bear, Polar Bear in Space looks freaking awesome.
