Hungry Owlets
Hunt all night, carry it home, and decide which owlet eats.
Line up three and the bear eats. Berries are worth one. Salmon is worth six.
How it works
Three in a row, and the bear eats
No lives, no timers and nothing to buy. Run out of moves and you press the button again — a bear that falls short is not starving, it is just not ready yet.

1Line up three
Swap two neighbours to get three of a kind, and the bear eats them. Anything above drops into the gap, which often makes another three on its own.
-
2Every food is worth what it is worth
Blueberries are one and a salmon is six. The bar under the bear is the fat it has put on, so a board cleared of berries is not the same meal as a board cleared of fish.

3The middle level wants all of it
Not a score but a shopping list. You cannot finish this one by chasing whatever is easiest. No clock, so there is time to look.

4Four bears, four years
Change the bear and everything changes with it: the food, the country behind the board, and what the bear is trying to do. A polar bear is not fattening for a den — it has no den.
Away from the screen
Why a bear walks past a hillside of berries to stand in a river. Four bears, four countries, four different years.
