Description
The bees have forsaken their Queen and want to keep all the honey for themselves.
Fill 12 jars of honey, bring it back to the Queen and watch her reclaim her throne once again.
In this simple metroidvania you play as a bear that only has a dozen moves to find the nearest checkpoint, but worry not, you'll find some friendly bears that are willing to assist you on your quest by lending you their powers

FAQ
What is Dozenbear?
Dozenbear is a retro-style platform game developed by eddynardo where you control a bear tasked with saving the Honey World from a spreading corruption.
How do you play Dozenbear?
In Dozenbear, you explore interconnected rooms, collect honey, and navigate obstacles, all within a limited number of moves before your honey expires.
What makes Dozenbear different from other platform games?
Dozenbear features a unique countdown mechanic where you have only twelve moves before your honey runs out, adding an extra layer of strategy and challenge.
Is Dozenbear a time-based or turn-based platformer?
Dozenbear is a move-limited platformer—the game is not strictly timed, but every action counts against your 12-move honey limit until you replenish it by finding honey jars.
Can you replay levels in Dozenbear or is it a continuous adventure?
Dozenbear is played as a continuous adventure through its interconnected map, encouraging exploration and careful route planning within the move constraints.
Developer Updates
-Fixed Audio bug
-Remade the Save/Load to work properly
(old progress will be lost on “Play” mode,
speedruns remain unnaffected)
-Added volume controls from main menu
-Removed mute buttons inside the game
(they were causing the audio to behave unexpectedly. You can now mute the audio only from the menu)

I love that the baker lets you move 13(a baker's dozen) times.

how i took for me to realize that 12 are the numbers of movements and not the seconds of life...

I've always enjoyed your games, but this one just feels so smooth and well-refined. As with all your games, I only wish it were longer. Give this game a badge, Kong!
