Comedy movie Cocaine Bear gets an 8-bit tie-in game that lets you eat people
Universal Pictures is going full throttle with its advertisement for Cocaine Bear, the mid-budget horror-comedy film starring a black bear who ate an unprecedented amount of cocaine and has become an unstoppable force of nature.

The Cocaine Bear video game is violent and silly, perfectly matching what audiences expect the film to be once it hits theaters on February 24.
People can play the Cocaine Bear game on the official website, and it is available on both mobile and desktop. The game is similar to Pac-Man but is a lot more bloody.
