The 101 Beans Against the Bears
Enjoy what is perhaps the world's first dedicated "Bean Defense" game. Protect the bean at all costs.
Created for the Winter '25 2.4HoZZT Jam in slightly over 2.4 hours (and a couple days late for the alleged deadline). You can watch the development VoD here.
This game is a ZZT world. Press P to play. Press enter to advance text boxes and make choices. Use the arrow keys to move. Hold shift and then press a direction to fire.
You may wish to save you game by pressing S, typing in a filename, and then pressing Enter. You can restore your save by pressing R on the title screen.
You can press W on the title screen to select the world. BEANS is the polished version of the game, created in two days. BEANSJAM is the version within the constraints of the jam.
WARNING: Whether you like it or not, you will learn about how the built-in bear enemy works in ZZT.

I accidentally smothered the bean with another bean, rip
😔
Aw beans
The beans giveth. The beans taketh away.
Either they're water bears or you're taking 'she's tall' to extremes :zzthink:
They're normal bears (just not good bears). Either way, I'm not surprised you picked out that reference.
Metafictionally, I'd slot this in as either a fever dream or a children's book (perhaps vandalized?).
This is absolutely BEANS
