Excellent game, a joy to play. Was also great fun to watch be developed!

Niceeee!!

Overall a pretty fun game, I feel it was kinda lacking in the sounds department however this was definitely worth my time, keep up the good work!

Excellent! I much prefer this to your last one, very well balanced considering (wave 21 though... triple rock combo) and overall really good.

The audio sometimes glitches and all I could here was buzzing, which was creepy, but not game breaking.

Is it ok if i post a MAC port here?
And great work's very fun!

What else can you expect from this guy? This was superb.

I saw a bit of this during the steam, it's brilliantly fun and well executed.

asado 2015-04-20 09:42

Lots of polish. Great.

Great work again from the Master of Game Maker... Loved the style and the gameplay. Lovely entry!

Question - How do you make a game like this if you were to only use "Drag and Drop" ;) - A fan

BEEst game ever

cgriff 2015-04-20 14:21

Really fun game, and very polished. Love the recoil on the gun, and all the SFX.

Congratulations Shaun!!
I really like the game :P

norbex 2015-04-20 17:52

I really like the art style and the sound effects! ;)

quexd 2015-04-20 19:22

YES!

huruey 2015-04-21 01:44

Haha, love it! I want one of these in real life.

wan 2015-04-21 02:04

A very good and fun game. I like it very much ;)

gv1351 2015-04-21 05:42

Shaun again what an amazing game. I was just hoping for some soft background music? But over all it is a great game, maybe you can make a tutorial on when the bees collide with the bears the sprite change? This is why you are the legendary Shaun Spalding the game king!

it really a good game ! Bravo !!! -CardsOfMax

Interesting game, nice simple wave based shooter. I would have liked to see an indicator in the direction of bears since one time I lost by a bear off-screen getting to my hive. Some music would have been a nice touch as well. Though I do like the sound effects otherwise.

broknecho 2015-04-22 03:23

Overall a great game. Lots of polish. Well thought out. Great entry!

Very lovely game! I love the clear graphics and the game play yet simple is extremely addicting and has a layer of complex strategy. The sound effects were cute and added to the over all humor. Would of liked some music to go along with the frantic bee shooting but it's nothing major.

Overall very solid and polished game, one the bests I've seen this LD! :)

Great job Shaun!

syncxzoz 2015-04-25 13:27

simple but verry cool...

2015-04-25 20:35

SO much fun!!! my favorite game so far

uheartbeast 2015-04-26 01:42

Great game Shaun. This has been one of my favorites in the compo.

ershany 2015-04-26 02:09

Sweet game man :)

thaaks 2015-05-03 18:29

Wonderful game! Graphics, sound, gameplay, humor and fun - all in this beeloved game! Never beefore have I played such a funny top down shooter - beeautifully done!
I will definitely look at your source code and bee wondering how you did all this!
Great work - unfortunately I couldn't follow your stream cause I was too beesy finishing my own game ;-)

I liked the game, can just pick up and play.

+ I really liked the cartoony art style.
- No music :( a little summery tune would have been awesome.
+ Controls are spot on in my opinion, felt very comfortable straight away.
- Feel dead bears need to be more destinct, lost a few times to the little bears that were a struggle to see when the bear carcasses had piled up.
+ Feel of the game is great, from little bits of polish like the screen shake and the growing ammo bee hive thingy.
- Wasn't sure what the honey did at first.
+ Full game loop.
- Think a suttle way to indicate the bears health would help. Not really thinking a health bar but somthing "suttle" lol.

Most of the negatives are small and most likely down to just running out of time. One of the stronger compo games I've played.

p.s. feel like it was missing somthing sweet and explosive . . . perhaps honey grenades ;)

Nice game, sweet visuals and super good gamefeel and mechanics ! too many bees ... I've reached wave 17 and could not make it again since :)

First i thought i would be childish when i saw screenshots but killing bears (beers?) families brings the fun...
I've just read there is a boss at 20th wave, I want to see this i may try again...

Great :)

Great overal I'm nota big fan of sfx with mouth but I must say your sfx are very good, I'm not getting sick of them even after 6-7 plays. The difficulty curve is also nicely done. congrats

mossy-frog 2015-05-11 19:57

Awesome entry, I enjoyed watching your progress on Twitch. The gun is strangley satisfying to shoot! Amazing entry, great weapon. Great job!
