WarBears is an excellent series of Point’n’Click games created by the Italian programmer Gionatan Iasio, and the third mission is finally available on Gionatan’s website, Warbears.com.

In Mission 3, An Oceanic Problem, “An S.O.S. signal was received from the Gas Platform in the Great Ocean! A new enemy surfaced with an evil plan. Will the Warbears be able to stop them?”

Use your mouse over the different Warbears and choose between the actions available. There is no restart button in this new mission, and you will to reach a checkpoint if you want to save your progress.

At the beginning of the year, the author was planning to release a new mission every other month: we had to wait over 10 months (!) to enjoy this new episode, but it was really worth the wait!

Have fun!

Update: Warbears – Mission 3 walkthrough in comment #38 (thanks Mike and nitrox!) 

The Warbears are on their way to the location of Mission 3, but something has diverted their attention!

Puzzle Mission is a Collapse-like puzzle game  (something between Samegame and Tetris) created by Gionatan Iasio that was launched today at Warbears.com.

Here is the announcement I received in my email box earlier today:

“Puzzle Mission’ is a simple blocks style game (note: or a Samegame-like game), but with the usual Warbears twist. Cool animations, in game puzzles to knock out additional blocks, and the Warbears themselves get involved to allow you to take out the more troublesome squares. Based over 10 levels it’s highly addictive and will keep you coming back for more!

The idea is to keep the blocks as low as possible by clicking 3 (or more) blocks of the same color. A new row of blocks come up about every twenty seconds or so, as the game progresses new features and colors arise. Speed up the new rows by clicking the arrow next to the Warbear!

One of the puzzles which arises is a “?” in a black box which you then click to figure out the puzzle. Stone blocks start to come up too, but you can use the Warbears special skills to get rid of them.”

Simply click groups of 3 blocks or more of the same color to eliminate them.

All in All, Puzzle Mission is a simple and well polished puzzle game, with tons of cool animations. If you are a Samegame fan, you will enjoy Puzzle Mission. Oh, and don’t forget to register if you want to submit your score!

Have fun!

WarBears is a series of Point’n’Click games developed by the Italian programmer Gionatan Iasio. The first episode was released in February 2006, and a second mission is now available on Gionatan’s new website, Warbears.com.

In Mission 1, the evil groundhogs were robbing the bank, and your mission was to manage a team of Warbears to rescue the employees, taken hostage by the bad guys!

In Mission 2, it’s now “training time for the Warbears. All around Bedtime City you can sense trouble times coming, so they have to be prepared to face the evil creatures!”

Use your mouse over the different Warbears and choose between the actions available. Just like the Hapland series or Chronon, choosing a wrong action can lead to a failure: in this case, use the restart button and try again.

Everything in Warbears Missions is very nicely done, from the graphics to the soundtrack. The author plans to release a new mission every other month: that’s a great news for all Warbears series lovers! Highly recommended!

Good news for all Warbears series lovers! Italian developer Gionatan Iasio has just released a new special mission for Christmas, An A.R. X-Mas. The game is available on Gionatan’s website, Warbears.com.

This adventure is supposed to be easier than Mission 3, with an estimated play time of 30 minutes.

There are only two warbears involved in this short story: “It’s X-Mas time all around BTC and Kla stops by Bob at his Furniture shop. But Steve has a secret mission in mind…”

Don’t forget to check your inventory in the top left corner of the game window!

Have fun!
