Very cool graphics.
Very cute, fun game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWOUTubUBM
Very fun game, and I enjoy the upgrade system between levels. I have no idea what the third bonus does, exactly, and I assume it's probably responsible for the extra power-up blip I keep hearing once in a while even when it seems like I'm not collecting something, or else that may possibly be a bug.
Otherwise, though, I really enjoy it. Ramping up the number of wasps and pollen nodes for each level was a good design choice, although with a bit of practice radial detection on enemies becomes pretty easy to evade. Occasionally introducing faster units can often solve that problem, though, and mix things up a bit.
Good stuff, though! Definitely has an arcade sort of feel to it, and I also enjoy that the levels don't abruptly end and you have to keep returning to your hive to collect pollen. That plus the time limit is a smart way to eventually end the game even if it is sort of meant to go on for a long time.
