Epic Dumpster Bear: Dumpster Fire Redux is an action platformer where the player takes on the role of a bear whose forest is being destroyed by an evil corporation. The game is inspired by 16-bit classic platformers and features the same kind of side-scrolling action that those games were known for.

Being a game inspired by classic platformers, this can be compared to other games that draw inspiration from there, such as Granny in Paradise or Dead Cells. There are 7 worlds and over 65 levels to complete.
