ScubaBear
This is one of my older games, a fun and carefree platformer made for Ludum Dare 29. Also one of my first 'complete' game projects. The game kind of shows it's age but I thought I'd upload it for completeness sake. :)
ScubaBear is a collecting and exploration game. A true Beneath the Surface Metroidvania! Scuba the bear aims to collect all of the hidden treasures of poseidon.
As you collect treasures with ScubaBear your set of abilities will grow and you can explore even more areas. Finally, when you collect all of the treasure you can be proud to call yourself the true King of the Sea.
Controls:
- Arrow keys and 'D','F','return' keys
Some game controllers are also supported.

GG!
It's cute but they don't give you any hints on what ur supposed to do. It's to hard for me or maybe I'm just stupid. 0_o Oh and what do you do with the pokeball do?
not all the items do things :)
I love the graphics and the game overall is a lot of fun!
Awesome game. Very good map design. Those items really brings treasurous memories. I like how the music sound lower as we go lower, nice detail. In the end, I became King of the sea with all items collected.
Such a cute game.
That was very fun, and very cute. I'd love to see what you do with making a bigger game <3
i remember in elementary i would play this game instead of doing my work on coolmath games than my school blocked it just now did i find it again i just love the game just so fun and there is no other way to say its a great game richard
i love it!
I really loved this game as a kid, and im glad to say that it still holds up to whatever standards 12 Year old me held it to!
I think the end scene glitched for me a bit because I didn't get the crown last. I was only missing the one you get after going straight down from the crown and then a bit left.
Where is it?!!?!?!?!?!
So, which treasure gives Scuba power to overcome the strong horizontal water stream in a passage? )
really solid! I was waiting for the game to take some dark twist in the dark areas haha.
Is this available for the game boy?
Wow this one the best games i have ever plaed
Hey there Richard! Like the game, was wondering if you're working on any other projects and if you need someone to do music?
I always come back every once in a while to replay this gem :-)
Excelente jogo! acho q fui o único br q jogou até agr...
nice game
Reminds me "Treasure Island Dizzy" ! Great job :)
Hey! Great game! I only wish this was a rom to keep it up with my collection of homebrews. And the bear face is hilarious. Remind me of the bear that wasn't by Chuck Jones. Great work!
This is the same game on coolmath ?
Yeah it's been hosted on a bunch of other sites, but this is the page of the guy who actually made it (Richard Lems)
Very fun game i like the aspect where there are different game keep it up
For some reason, I run out of breath too fast. I can only get the Pokeball and the scuba mask, then I can't get to the next chest. I've watch lots of videos playing it, and they all run out of breath slower than me.
You need to find the scuba tank, that's what lets you hold your breath longer. I don't remember what chest it's in, but it was the second thing I found (after the scuba mask) so it shouldn't be too difficult to get to
I remember playing this on Coolmathgames. This was so nostalgic. Also i love that end picture so much its so adorable
i got the crown second to last soo the king of the sea should has been giving erlyer
A short tfun platformer game about exploring and collecting treasures. Some of the treasures give you new abilities, but the game doesn't explain which or what they do. So it's up to you to try and figure it out, which is part of the fun.
I love this game so much! The art style, the music, the gameplay, and even just the silly concept of a bear trying to become king of the sea never fail to make me smile. I'd love to see more games like this!
it ight but u should put descriptions of what the items do.and u should a sum more wings like huge wings that allow u to go to a flotting world
The game seems to be having trouble loading the music. I've had it load only once, and I had to wait a long time. I never had trouble with the version on ducksoup-games.com, but that appears to be down...
No idea what might be causing this. But you can check out the original version here: https://rilem.nl/games_content/scubabear/index.html
The Ducksoup domain no longer exists so all content lives on rilem.nl
Loved it!
is there a download?
nice game, i'm really into greek mythology so this is an extra special gem for me <3 :D
nice old game with a punchy music :) a download is not possible ? Its kinda slow sometimes was wondering is an windows build will be smoother...
this game is great fun and ps the crabs are more like craps when u dont have the weapon yet
yay he's king of the sea 10/10
LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! The music switching if your underwater or above is so cool!!! Is there anywhere to download this????
and so he became king of the sea!
Can you please add descriptions for treasures when player moves cursor on one of them (or using arrows keys) ? Like, for some time even more clear treasures weren't clear for me. Seemed for me that brown bird is about sitting, not flying (before i picked up a derped duck)). Also, those blue gallons with oxygen seemed a gillette, and couldn't understand the need for it if Scoobah already picked up breathing tube. Not even mentioning all other less obvious treasures!
It really does sound quite absurd, adventure of a bear and bird!
