History VideoGame / EnviroBear2000

You play the role of an ordinary bear, living a regular ol' habitat...but wait a minute, [[OhCrap winter's coming]]! Naturally, you'd have to get as much nutrients as you can before you hibernate - otherwise you'll have sleep deprivation ''and'' a freezing white day on top of that. But, there's only 5 minutes before winter begins... so how can you help the situation?

!The tropers are restless!

* FunnyAfro: The bear may randomly don this in some levels. It looks like it might also be a fuzzy black snow hat or ushanka.

It was released on May 25th, 2009, and can be [[FreewareGames freely downloaded]] on [=GameJolt=] [[https://gamejolt.com/games/enviro-bear-2000/211 here]]. Its [[AndroidGames Android]] port, ''Enviro-Bear 2010'', can be found on the [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.expb.envirobear&hl=en Google Play Store]].

Grab as much fish and berries as you can before winter comes, as your ride fills up with rocks, pine cones and leaves. Avoid obstacles like bees, trees, and even ArtificialIntelligence opponents ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and probably a badger]]), and then find and enter a cave. See how many years you can last before the snow finally gets to you...

* TheBerserker: The badger introduces himself to the bear via flailing around violently in his car, not stopping until he is thrown back out.

* EndlessGame: There's no real ending to the game - the objective is to simply last as many years as you can before you fail. Of course, some levels have some twists to them (the bear getting skinny and requiring more food, only being able to eat berries, the car becoming faster, etc.).

* FadeToWhite: Played with. Once you lose, snow will start falling before giant heaps of it fall into your car, growing larger until the snow covers the entire screen.
* FunnyAfro: The bear may randomly don this in some levels.

* NintendoHard: If there's a level where you can only eat berries and not fish, it can become this. [[spoiler:Until you suddenly drive through a pond and either find ''lots'' of fish...or one that might be big enough ''[[AlwaysABiggerFish to not even fit in your car]].'']]

* TimedMission: The whole game is one, with each level giving you 5 minutes. Some, however, can give you 4 or 3 minutes...because the bear slept too long.

* WithMyHandsTied: The bear drives, eats and handles all possible items that may fall into his car with one hand, doing nothing whatsoever with the other (to the point where it's not seen in-game aside of his napping sprite shown on the title screen).

* ArtificialIntelligence: There are other bears driving identical cars driving around the forest, and can be crashed into as many times as the player pleases. [[DrivesLikeCrazy Or can, rather.]]

* AltumVidetur: The name of the game's one song is ''La Libellula'' [[note]]which translates into "The Dragonfly"...which has absolutely nothing to do with the premise[[/note]].

* WackyRacing: Well, it's racing against time more than anything, but this game still fits this trope to an absolute T.

* CarFu: The bear drives a car in such a way that it becomes less "trying to hibernate" and more "just hit everything in the forest".

* Retraux: The game's style is pixelated, able to give an [=NES=] or Atari feel to it. The music clearly sounds like a [=MIDI=] track, though most of the sound effects are realistic.
