About This Game

About This Game

A mama bear searching for her lost cub. A grapple hook is her only way forward.

Grapple Bear is a competitive online platforming adventure where your grappling hook is your only tool to move. Swing, launch, and cling your way through over 40 handcrafted levels as a determined mama bear searching for her lost cub. What starts as a simple journey quickly becomes a test of precision, momentum, and survival as increasingly dangerous obstacles stand in your way.

Simple controls. Brutal challenges. And something is following you.

Swing Through a Challenging Adventure

Your grapple hook is your only tool and your only way forward.

Navigate over 40 bite-sized levels filled with hazards, moving obstacles, environmental puzzles, and intense platforming challenges. Reach the flagpole at the end of each stage, then survive until the flag lowers completely.

Compete for the Fastest Time

Think you found the perfect route?

Compare your best times on global leaderboards and challenge your friends to beat your records. Every second counts as you discover new shortcuts, optimise your swings, and push for faster runs.

New Weekly Challenges

Finished the main adventure?

Every week, a brand-new procedurally generated level becomes available, complete with its own leaderboard. Compete against players worldwide for the top spot and earn the ultimate bragging rights.

No two weeks are the same.

Explore Strange and Dangerous Worlds

Your journey will take you through a variety of environments:

  • Peaceful forests with gentle streams... unfortunately, bears can't swim.

  • Crumbling ruins of an ancient civilisation.

  • Scorching lava-filled caverns.

  • Wind-swept cliffs where a single mistake can send you flying.

  • Unstable structures with nowhere safe to stand.

  • Thorn-covered passages.

  • Mysterious wormholes that bend reality.

Every area introduces new mechanics, hazards, and surprises.

Hand-Drawn With Love

Every visual in Grapple Bear began as a hand-drawn illustration on paper, which was then digitally coloured and brought to life. No AI-generated artwork was used. Every level, character, and environment was crafted by hand.
