[edit] Characters
The Commander of the Warbears handles communications. He gives you information you may need during the game.
Kla is not the strongest bear, but is lithe, tough, and smart. His specialty is computers, and uses a Nintendo DS to connect to an Aerial network and hack computers.
Lucas is a well-dressed bear unafraid to do risky things. His speciality is Explosives, and employs smoke bombs and hand grenades.
Ryoh is a deadly bear skilled in the martial arts and swordplay using two katana blades.
Steve, the bad boy of the group, sports hunting gear, an earring, and a squint, perhaps impersonating Clint Eastwood. He specializes in marksmanship with his rifle, or a shotgun that fires solid slugs instead of buckshot.
There is also a Pizza Guy who gets caught up in the ordeal when his bike is stolen by Steve. The groundhogs are the minions of the groundhog boss. They use spears with drills on the ends for weapons.
[edit] Combat
When using Ryoh to fight the groundhogs, there are two modes—defense and attack. Attack is on the right, defense on the left. If you click on the top of either column, you will block/attack high. Likewise, if you click on the bottom of either column, you will block/attack low.
Steve is also used for combat with his gun. When attempting to shoot something, you have to play a simple target game.
[edit] Plot
The Bedtime City Bank is being robbed. After the police "try nothing, and it didn't work"(weird), the Commander of the Warbears dispatches the four bears to stop the Groundhogs.
[edit] Sequel
A sequel entitled "Training Time", is reported to be finished. Not much else is known about the sequel other than it is about the same length as the original. It will be released when the website is fully completed.
