Poolar Bear is a cozy yet clever minimalist puzzle game where you guide a curious bear through 100 different pools(There's a little surprise when you complete all 100). What starts as a calm swim quickly becomes a challenge of obstacles, surprises, and dangers - yep, I'm talking about sharks and piranhas.

Once you nudge the bear, it slides until it hits something. You have to find ways to use the obstacles and objects to your advantage to make it to the end of the pool. What make Poolar Bear different from other sliding puzzles is that there is more than one way to reach the finishing line. You finally cracked a level, I ask you to challenge yourself and complete the level with a different path.

✦ Features

100 handcrafted puzzles – The levels are easy peasy at first, but after 50 pools you will really need to bring your A game.

Slide-until-wall mechanics – One push sets the bear in motion, so foresight is key.

Whirlpool portals – Warp across unreachable parts of the pool to unlock new routes.

Fans – Use gusts of air to redirect your path mid-level.

Plants – Bounce off them to shift direction in clever ways.

Deadly dangers – Avoid lurking sharks and piranhas that chase you relentlessly.

Headlights – Light your way through tricky nighttime levels.

Minimalist & cozy design – Clean visuals, calm vibes, and satisfying puzzle flow.

Simple controls – Just the arrow keys (Left, Right, Up, Down) or WASD to guide the bear.

Surprise twists – Fresh mechanics and obstacles keep every pool engaging.

Relaxing yet challenging, Poolar Bear blends minimalist aesthetics with surprising depth. Think ahead, experiment with movement, and discover clever solutions as you guide your bear through every pool.

Can you master all 100 puzzles and help the bear reach the finish?
