Six months ago (Sept 2009), a little unknown game called BATTLE BEARS came out of nowhere to become the #1 Action and Adventure game on iTunes.  Six months later, BATTLE BEARS remains one of the top ranked games.  Thanks to our dedicated fans, BATTLE BEARS paid & free has since been downloaded over 2 Million times!  Accept no imitations.  BATTLE BEARS is here to stay.  The SkyVu Pictures team would like to thank everyone who has downloaded our game.  The enthusiasm and support from fans of OLIVER and the BATTLE BEARS fuel our creativity and we look forward to bringing more games and products in 2010 and beyond!

]]>1.5.3 update available, fixes issue on OS 2.xhttp://www.battlebears.com/blog/2010/2/24/153-update-available-fixes-issue-on-os-2x.htmlAdministrator2010-02-24T23:56:34Z BATTLE BEARS: Zombies! Update v1.5.3

This minor update will fix the crashing issue that happens on devices running the older OS 2.0 and 2.2.1 operating systems.

Players that already have OS 3.0 and the 1.5.2 update do not need to update to 1.5.3, as the fix only applies to devices running OS 2.x

The 1.5.2 update included:

 

  • New Pause Button - tap on the pink bear icon next to the score to pause the game
  • Removed the Tilt-to-Pause function
  • PLAY ALL MOVIES button that is unlocked after winning any Story Mode.  Now you can play all the cut scenes in order.
  • Laser Gun now takes less time to charge up and fire
  • Shotgun now reloads faster so you can kill more Huggable Zombies
  • Zombie level on EASY has been adjusted to be a bit easier
  • Tips & Tricks section added to the bottom of the Credits panel
  • Updated the app icon to feature OLIVER
  • Updated the app title to BATTLE BEARS: Zombies! to feature the last level
  • Facebook, Twitter, and Soundtrack links added to the Credits panel
