Firstly, A BIG HELLO AND THANK YOU to anyone taking the time to read this!

If you don't know my name is Mikey and I'm a one-man indie developer, surprisingly I had developed the original release of the game on a laptop that was old and was barely over 720p in resolution, since then I have managed to update my hardware and work on it again.

So anyway, I returned to Giant Bear Rampage to give it a new coat of paint for the 3-year anniversary! 🐻 @GameDevMikey is my twitter handle if you want to get in touch.
