Welcome to Ursa Miner where it’s time to dig into Mount Honeycomb! Mine deep into the mountain to find delicious honey and add more bears to your team. Keep an eye out for valuable royal jelly along the way - whoever mines the most will be crowned ruler of the mountain! Hurry though, because time is short, and once the mountain crumbles, it’s time to go home. You’ll need to use your equipment, navigate dangerous honey-slides, and push around other bears to rule Mount Honeycomb!

We did it everyone! As of this morning, less than a week into the campaign, Ursa Miner is 100% funded and then some :) We’ve also hit over 300 backers which is just incredible - that’s a lot of people who are going to be enjoying Ursa Miner sometime soon! Thanks again to all of you for your help funding and supporting this project, it feels awesome to have you with us.
We’re also taking this opportunity to announce Ursa Miner is now shipping to Canada! For all our fans to the north, check out our new BEARLIFT tier for information on how to back. To quote our updated shipping section: " For backers in Canada, shipping will be $16 for the first game. For each additional copy of the game after the first, please add $24 for the game plus $5 for shipping to your order ($29 total for each additional game)."
Our current plan is to ship these games to you by USPS. Please note we’re still talking to fulfillment centers to see if we can ship from within Canada. If we are able to finalize an arrangement with a fulfillment center, we'll be sure to let you know. Please ask any questions in the comments below and we’ll get right back to you!
Again, thanks everyone for helping us get here. Keep an eye out for some pretty exciting stretch goals coming soon!

Hello backers! We are so excited to share that Ursa Miner is already 96% funded, and we're bear-ly a week into the campaign! Thanks again to everyone who helped us get here, and who continues to help us by sharing our project with their friends. We'd keep an eye on this page...100% feels around the corner, and with it, a chance at some exciting stretch goals!
We also wanted to share some pictures from one of our Ursa Miner Launch Events which took place in Baltimore, MD earlier this weekend. The event, co-sponsored and catered by Anne Kostecki from Spark & Spice, was a great opportunity to showcase the game to some of our current backers and friends.

We even had a chance to break out an old 3D printed version of Ursa Miner that you might have seen if you played the game way back at PAX East 2015.

Confirmed: Ursa Miner is even better with amazing food! The spread for the evening including Chicken Tenders, Honey-Glazed Meatballs, Roasted Butternut Squash and Broccoli and perfectly themed Muffins and Shortbread Cookies with honey cinnamon drizzle, was absolutely amazing along with some tasty honey-flavored beverages (all gluten-free!).
A huge thanks to Anne for coming up with and preparing all the delicious food. Check out her gluten-free food blog, Spark & Spice, if you're looking for a chef in Baltimore or follow her on social media for more tasty recipes.
For all our international backers, we're close to finalizing our distribution plans to get Ursa Miner to you. Thank you for your patience and keep an eye out for an update once we finalize international shipping plans.

Day 1 Update: 70% there! Plus international shipping news
almost 7 years ago
– Thu, May 11, 2017 at 12:34:09 PM
Thank you EVERYONE so much for your support on Day 1. We’re blown away by the response so far. $8.3k and nearly 70% makes Ursa Miner feel so much closer to a reality! We keep track of every new pledge we receive, and each one brightens our day. Seeing comments come in from people excited to play Ursa Miner, and give our small company a chance to succeed means the world to us!
The biggest surprise for us so far has been the interest from international backers. When we started this project, we assumed it would be too difficult to gather interest abroad to tackle the notoriously difficult (and expensive) problem of international shipping. After messages from Ursa Miner fans in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, we’ve decided we’re going to do our best to make it happen! Since yesterday, we've begun looking into the various shipping options and engaging with potential fulfillment centers. It’s going to take a little time to find the best way to make it work at a reasonable cost to you, our backers and supporters, so we appreciate your patience in the meantime.
While we work that out, please keep your questions and comments coming, we love to hear from you! Thank you again for all of your support, we'll see you in the next update :)
