Begamer is back with a new point-and-click adventure game about a little polar bear that isn't too fond of the cold. In Polar Tale it's up to you to lead the adorable bear to a warmer place. You will click on your environment to shift objects or pick up useful items to escape each scene. There is no constant inventory bar, and items will appear when you're in a scene that requires their use. When you have completed everything in the scene that you can you have to click on the bear to move him forward.
Polar Tale is a short and simple game that doesn't require a great deal of time and doesn't force you to solve overly complex puzzles. The "there-and-gone-again" inventory system is disconcerting at first but as you go through the game it's apparent that it's a nice tip off on what you need to do. The challenge of having to spot white items on a mostly white background offers its own unique challenge but will not hamper the enjoyment and inevitable success of your little polar bear.
It was cute, although strange to see penguins alongside polar bears. And I could have sworn I spied an alot hiding on one level! :)
