Halfbrick is quickly becoming one of my favourite mobile developers. The makers of the ever popular Fruit Ninja now bring us Bears vs Art, a game in which you play as a bear, annoyed by a millionaire who put an "art" gallery in his forest. So he's going around wrecking art like no tomorrow. Check out the trailer.

Isn't it aweosme? The news gets better. It's already available on iPhone and iPad in Canada and Australia for free, that said, as the site's resident Canadian, I was able to play the game and got through the first five stages. It is so fun I didn't want to stop to write this story, and I may go back to play more when I'm done here. The game play is pretty basic, it's a puzzle game. You play as the bear in the art gallery, you click a direction to roll into and you roll into that direction (spindash style) until you hit a wall, if there is a piece of art in the square you stop in it pops up on screen and you swipe the screen to claw at it, Fruit Ninja style only with three claws instead of a sword. You're only given a limited number of moves though and you have to destroy all the art in order to move onto the next stage, so plan you're movies out carefully. I failed stage 5 a couple of times but managed to beat it on my third attempt, and won't be so brash in the future. Now I wanna hear from all of you, what do you think of the game based on the trailer, and if you're a Canuck or an Aussie have you tried the game? What did you think?

This week’s illustration is from the kickstarter for the pajama-enabled, twisty-flippy platformer The Land of Eyas.

Meanwhile, in crowdfundingland, spring seems to have thawed the frozen glacier of projects on Kickstarter, and Patreon–well, that was a sort of geyser thing that never really slowed down. Lots of new projects! If I’ve forgotten yours (particularly Patreon posters, they’re not as time-sensitive and for some reason Patreon lets me uncover incomplete projects…) my apologies, life is what it is.

One artist on Patreon that’s near and dear to my heart, literally, I’m wearing her work now–Foxloft, maker of the tribal-style tagua pendants that seem to be everywhere at the cons, just opened up a Patreon page! Patreons–ah, patrons–get access to a free video stream and chat (so you can lobby for your favorite critters), or “gimme” boxes of randomness from an artist that so many furries wear proudly.

Reviews this week (and there really should be more, but…RL…) include an overdue look at “Penguins vs. Possums,” and a charmingly weird or weirdly charming infernal romp with “Adopt a Demon,” a product of my home town, Austin!

Reviews

New Projects

For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page and Patreon Page!

Art

Adopt-a-Demon (Ends: 4/4/2014)
Sure, everybody’s accidentally summoned the hellspawn, but remember, a demon isn’t just for a séance, it’s for life. Beautiful and weird line-art demons.
I just have to say, I love my home town and the weird stuff it turns out.

Children’s Product

Tiger Stripes (Ends: 3/25/2014)
A cute matching and math game for parents and kids. Help tiger cubs earn their stripes!

Wee Beasties (Ends: 4/6/2014)
An owlbear (and other classic Dungeons and Dragons monsters) get ready for bed in this easter-egg-intensive illustrated children’s book.

Comics/Graphic Novels

The Bold Tales of ‘Whiskers’ McFadden (Ends: 3/30/2014)
Action! Adventure! Hairballs! A “Hellboy”-esque pulp graphic novel.

Wolf and Man (Ends: 4/3/2014)
A graphic novel set in the paleolithic past, the “first boy-and-his-dog” story. More of a wolf though.

Midwinter Vol. 1 (Ends: 4/7/2014)
A very wolfy occult investigator teams up with a scientist in this modern fantasy. More on the artist’s DeviantArt.
Okay, I don’t *know* that he’s a werewolf, but if it howls like a duck…

The Oswald Chronicles (Ends: 4/18/2014)
A charming gentleman mouse and his adventures in a fantasy universe, web-to-print graphic novel.

Rat Rage webcomic (Patreon Ongoing Funding)
Pngoing support for “Rat Rage,” Robaato‘s DeviantArt webcomic

“Fur-Piled” and “Perception” webcomic (Patreon Ongoing Funding)
Patreon funding for Arthur Husky‘s “Perception” and “Fur-Piled” comics

Costumes/Clothing

Foxfeather Studios Tagua Tribal Art (Patreon Ongoing Funding)
Foxfeather, whose tagua tribal totem pendants are ubiquitous in the fandom, opens her portfolio for previews and freebies on Patreon.

Video Games

Dark Skyes (Ends: 4/5/2014)
A pony dating sim and RPG of epic scope (and pretty solid artwork!)

Kitten Dump (Ends: 4/6/2014)
Twitch/reflex VG. Only one thing stands between dogs catapulting innocent kittens into a ravine and…ah…a ravine. YOU! Move quick!

…Just for fun

Design Unscripted (Ends: 4/21/2014): A fascinating collection of illustration and design by 25 artists (some furry, some fantasy, some of everything!)

I said, ma, if I was a dog I'd shop at American Beagle Snoutfitters.

...Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

So a friend of mine recently recommended Wolf Children and I really enjoyed it. I was wondering if there were any other good furry-related movies that anyone knows? Doesn't necessarily have to be anime, I was just curious, and looking for some good movies to watch

Hello! I'm a new(ish) furry (~two months). I was wondering, why is it that so much of the fandom is art? Why not literature, programming, music, etcetera...?

Hi guys

I am looking for a UI designer for a new website I am overseeing.

The site is Furry/fursuit related and we are wanting it to be very modern and dynamic.

We expect the site to be quite "popufur" so we want the design to be great.

If you are interested then please PM me or email jack[at]furstre.am If you know anyone who would be interested in the project then please point them in my direction.

Thanks!
