- BEARZERKERS Update 0.1.2 - 20 November 2015
Hi everyone, After getting back from PAX we've been hard at work at getting a number of tweaks and fixes out to everybody. Read on below for more. Changes The rotating barrier in Harvest Hell will now destroy rocks, and not allow bears to pass through Map selection now occurs on a "draw from a hat" basis, ie. 2 votes for a single map from 4 players will mean a 50% chance of that map being chosen.

Raging bears will lock onto their targets for longer after closing the distance The rage indicator now shows above a player for the entire duration of a bear rage Reduced number of physics objects created from destroyed rocks Added sounds to the buttons in the options m…
