What is Olly the Paw?
Olly the Paw is a casual simulation and idle adventure developed by 7Spot Games and launched in 2023. You guide an energetic brown bear through sunny woodland clearings to repair a damaged airplane step by step. The core loop involves collecting fallen wild apples, trading produce with neighboring creatures, earning coins to open fresh clearings, and tracking down missing aircraft blueprints and spare parts. It runs directly inside modern web browsers on desktop computers, phones, and tablets with nothing to install.
Key features
- Airplane reconstruction: Search the wilderness for missing manuals and gather structural parts to repair the grounded aircraft piece by piece.
- Forest foraging: Collect ripe apples beneath orchard branches, then locate patches of blueberries and honey jars across newly opened areas.
- Woodland commerce: Exchange harvested fruit with a wealthy reindeer merchant to generate a steady stream of gold coins.
- Panda bakery: Supply gathered ingredients to the local panda chef to create fine desserts that fetch higher market prices.
- Burrow upgrades: Visit the mole workshop to enhance bear skills and raise work efficiency.
- Fox assistants: Hire friendly foxes to take over hauling chores and speed up collection duties across the map.
How to play
- Roam beneath nearby trees and pick up fallen wild apples from the ground.
- Approach the wealthy reindeer to exchange your harvested goods for shiny coins.
- Hand over raw cooking supplies to the panda chef to produce sweet desserts for sale.
- Visit the mole workshop to upgrade bear abilities and hire fox assistants for routine tasks.
- Spend earned coins to open locked clearings containing rare blueberries, honey, and lost manuals.

Restoration economy and workshop upgrades
The central gameplay loop connects simple resource gathering with steady vehicle construction. Gathering wild fruit provides initial funding, which unlocks higher-value trade routes and upgrades. Selling cooked pastries through the panda bakery brings significantly more income than raw fruit alone, enabling faster expansion into unopened forest clearings where hidden flight schematics rest.
| Activity | Role in progression |
|---|---|
| Foraging | Supplies wild apples, blueberries, and honey across clearings |
| Cooking | Turns raw goods into desserts through the panda chef for greater profit |
| Trading | Exchanges provisions with the reindeer to gain spendable coins |
| Upgrading | Enhances bear stats at the mole burrow and enlists helpful foxes |
| Restoration | Uses recovered manuals to mount mechanical parts onto the airplane |
Tips and strategy
- Boost bear stats early: Spending initial coins at the mole workshop improves movement speed and carrying capacity, reducing transit time during harvest loops.
- Bake desserts for profit: Always deliver ingredients to the panda chef because processed treats yield far more currency from the reindeer than raw fruit.
- Hire fox helpers quickly: Bringing friendly foxes onto your crew automates ground hauling, leaving you free to explore fresh zones and locate plane parts.
- Expand into new clearings: Unlocking fenced sections provides access to lucrative honey pots and rare blueberries needed for advanced trades.
- Prioritize missing manuals: Recovering lost flight manuals directs your efforts toward the exact components required to finish the aircraft.
