Oh my cuteness feeling was totally destabilized at the end :'( !
Nice simple and efficient game, congrats !
I thought a bit of frustration came with the jump the bee automatically make when you leave a flower, it add difficulty with something you don't have control on. You also have a little bug with the power bar at the end, the honey overstep it.
Good work !
At first i was like "It's simplistic but pleasant experience" but when i collected enough honey... oh man xD. It's so dramatic! You going to score real high in humor categoy, i can tell that. My only suggestion is that the first part of the game when you collect honey could be shorter, many people will play it for 1 minute and decide that they know what kind of game this is and that's probably all that there is to it and they will miss this amazing ending section.
This game is awesome. :D The control scheme was very satisfying to interact with, so, the space bar had just enough lift. :P I'm impressed with your story, it's so gripping and I could really relate to most of the characters. The next Romeo and Juliet is in your hands.
Cute game and surprisingly fun flying. Is there any way to chase the bear away? I kept jumping on him and trying to sting him but he ignored me.
That was amazing, haha!
This reminded me a bit about my formerly favorite flash game "Copter", in which you controlled a heli through a cave just like you control the bee in this game. I kinda disliked the uncontrollable rising after collecting nectar, it often made me hit a bird. The music was awesome :ok_hand:
I really wanted to sting this freaking thing at the end! ARRR!
... Now rated <3
A nice simple extension of the Flappy-bird one-touch controls thing.
@sanojian No you can't chase the bear away, I wanted to not allow the player to control the bee until after the bear ate the honey but ran out of time :weary:
Cute! I had to laugh at the little bee tongue (proboscis?) licking the flower.
Wow, I'm glad I stuck around around for the ending!
Hah! Very entertaining. I'd actually quite enjoy collecting nectar even longer, but having an ending was probably a good choice for the LD for keeping it from dragging.
Wow. Nice game! Very simple but sometimes they are the best games.
Super simple and fun game. Really liked that it took multiple days to reach the honey goal and drove home the amount of effort needed to be done by the bee. It was disheartening to see the bear destroy my hive but I loved the dramatic attack and death scene at the end, a fantastic touch. Some words of improvement would be remove the random jump at the end of the flower if possible. Interesting way you could go about working on this game could include making the bee go to high or low could remove nectar and an ending screen of sorts rather than just reloading the page. I liked this entry a ton, well done!
A simple and enjoyable game!
The graphics are very nice, and the music underscores the mood well (both during the game, and during the ending).
Except for when losing control when leaving the flower, I felt that the control of the bee was very good, with the player being able to fine tune the magnitude of the "jump". As for the flower-jump, the birds did seem to take good advantage of the momentary loss of control.
And the ending... talk about mood whiplash!
All in all, it was a quite enjoyable game, with a nice twist at the end!
> So sunny outside! > Look at the pretty flowers! > ...how dare you, foul beast!
I put so much effort into not missing the flowers and then [spoilers] happened. It was so tragic. This has to be an allegory for something.
Flappy bee, with resource gathering and eventual heartbreak! :D It could've been more difficult, there was little challenge.
Cute art, though I would've preferred a consistent pixel size. The bear's pixels are ginormous compared to the bee. The music's quite good too.
All in all, very nice entry!
It was a bit too easy to cheat: after a few levels, instead of actually flying, I just sat on the ground and the level kept going without any penalty. In fact, it let me easily avoid all the birds!
It's a cute game, but a little too simplistic for my taste. The music was pleasant, and it has a good twist in the end. Thanks!
This game managed to surprise me with a really great change in mood. Very impressive.
Really cute game with nice gameplay. It simulates the life of a bee quite well :) The ending was devastating, but also a great surprise. Good job overall!
