Boogy Bear

"Be Bear Aware"
Center for Wildlife Information

"Welcome to the Be Bear Aware home page. North America is home to three different species of bears, some say actually four. In this site you will learn what makes each species uniquely different. You will learn how bear habitat varies across North America.

"This web site places special emphasis on keeping bears wild...."

...and you alive. Bears are, as Center for Wildlife Information points out, wild animals. They're big and cute, but they're also big and strong: and occasionally intolerant of clueless humans.

There's also a short video of a bear scratching its back on a tree: taken by a camera with an automatic motion sensor. Between the bear's energetic moves and the music - what else could it be called, but "boogy bear?"

Racoons and Ice Cream

"Racoon - Begging for ice cream"

It's short, it's cute, it's four raccoons and three people in a parking lot. Enjoy.

The Tuttles: A Family of Four in Cyberland

"The Tuttles Madcap Adventures"
girlsgogames

"Travel through trap-ridden landscapes with the members of the Tuttle Family on their collecting adventure!..."

"...Collect all objects you can while avoiding obstacles and dangerous objects. When you have collected the main objects of each level, head to the exit."

Rated four of five hearts.

This online game has you guiding the Tuttles - a family of four - toward prizes and away from obstacles. You 'attack enemies' by pushing the space bar.

Mom Tuttle attacks with a hefty swing of her purse. (Don't laugh: those things can be massive.) The game starts with mom Tuttle going through a store, picking up floating gems and toilet paper, and avoiding spills on the floor.

Dad's next, flying the family van (it's got wings and tail fins). The van doesn't seem to have an attack mode: pressing the space bar speeds it up. His obstacles are mostly ducks with absolutely no sense of self-preservation.

This game isn't going to replace Mario Brothers, but it's fun - and free. The game play is strictly in the two dimensions of the screen, but the graphics are pretty good, and give an passable illusion of depth. The background music is a notch or two above 'elevator music,' and the characters comment on their actions as they go along.

A tip of the hat to #3 daughter, for pointing this game out to me.
