ScubaBear is a cute platformer where you play as a scuba diving bear (complete with snorkel set) and you go hunting for hidden treasures deep in the sea.
The game looks like a homebrew of Mario 3 with its colorful graphics and cute art style. It’s very pleasing to look at and play. The music is cheery. The clouds move. The bear is super happy.
You play as a bear with a treasure map. You look for treasure. It’s that simple. You can find anything from jokes to actual helpful items, like scuba gear and tridents. You can get oxygen tanks to explore new areas. Tridents to kill baddies. And there are a few others but I don’t want to spoil them. (They’re stuff you wouldn’t expect a scuba bear to have.)
The treasure map helps you out by showing your current location and areas you haven’t explored yet. It’s somewhat similar to the first 3D Zelda games (Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask) because it shows you areas that are blank and you should investigate for treasure. It also shows you your current collection.
ScubaBear is an awesome little indie game and you’ll have a blast playing it. Try it out using the links. It’s a browser game so there’s nothing to download. Though the game does load pretty slowly and the music keeps cutting out until it’s loaded.
Controls:
- Use the arrow keys to move
- D to jump
- F to attack

You can also full screen the game by clicking the button at the bottom-right of the game. It’s browser-based so you need to have a browser that can run browser apps. If not, it’s time to update your browser.
