Grapple Bear

Grapple Bear is a competitive online platforming adventure about a mama bear searching for her lost cub. Your grappling hook is your only way to move: swing, launch and cling through more than 40 handcrafted levels, overcoming increasingly dangerous obstacles. The journey tests your precision and momentum, and something is following you.

Swing through the levels

Each bite-sized stage has hazards, moving obstacles, environmental puzzles and platforming challenges. Reach the flagpole, then survive until the flag lowers completely. The levels become increasingly difficult, with new mechanics, hazards and surprises in each area.

Worlds along the way

The journey passes through several environments:

• Peaceful forests with gentle streams, which bears cannot swim across.
• 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.

Times and weekly challenges

You can compare your best times on global leaderboards and challenge friends to beat your records. Finding shortcuts and refining your swings can help you set faster times. Each week brings a new procedurally generated level with its own leaderboard, where you compete against players worldwide for the top spot.

Hand-drawn art

The levels, characters and environments are illustrated by hand on paper, then digitally coloured and brought to life. The game uses no AI-generated artwork.
