About Trap the Bear
Trap the Bear is a turn-based puzzle game about a crew of lost penguins stuck on an Arctic ice floe with a hungry polar bear. On each turn you move one penguin a single step along the snowy paths, then the bear moves. It can step, or jump over a penguin next to it and catch it. To win, surround the bear until it has nowhere left to go, before it catches too many of your crew. The rules take seconds to learn, but every move counts. Lure the bear onto cracked ice that breaks behind it, use whale holes to block its way, and bring in a sleepy seal that the bear can't jump. Across 40 levels in four chapters, with boss bears and a new daily puzzle, it's easy to win and hard to master: three stars means trapping the bear with no penguins caught, in the fewest moves possible.
How to play
Click or tap a penguin, then click or tap a highlighted mound next to it to move it one step. After each of your moves, the bear moves too. It can step one mound, or jump over a penguin next to it into an empty space and catch that penguin. To win, block every path so the bear can't move. You lose if the bear catches too many penguins or your penguins can't move. Cracked ice breaks after something steps off it, whale holes can't be crossed, and the bear can't jump the seal. Use Undo to take back a move, and Hint if you get stuck. To earn three stars, trap the bear without losing a penguin, in the fewest moves possible.
