Nice and cute game! Love the nature theme. The Bumble movement could be faster, but great job!

robeecodes 2022-10-03 15:18

@zoeluci Thanks so much for the feedback! :smile:

This was fun! I also appreciate the time you've put into building your game's page. Very informative and organized. Well done!

robeecodes 2022-10-03 23:20

@woahitsjeff Tysm, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :smile: Yes, I thought this would be a good opportunity to practice doccumentation, so I'm glad you noticed the effort I put in there as well!

A cute fun game. Enjoyed the variation of the waves specifically the cloud effect. There was one playthrough where the wasps disappeared after a second of spawning. Overall, great work!

robeecodes 2022-10-04 18:56

@house-trap-charlie Sounds like those wasps were slacking :laughing: I will investigate and see if I can get them to sort their act out lol :nerd: Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Very cute! The variety of events kept the gameplay fresh, and zipping after the sunflowers provided a bit of a challenge. Nicely done!

What a cute game. Congratulations

@fax Thank you so much! I'm happy you like it :smile:

Cool small game. I probably found a bug that sometimes lives just stop to reduce even if you were hit by enemy. Game is quite fun.

robeecodes 2022-10-07 21:00

@nickpick Thank you for your feedback! It seems the wasps are fitting a few definitions of "bug" atm :sweat_smile: I will look into it!

It's a cute score attack game, easy to pick up and play, difficult to perfect and has some nice variation on its action. :thumbsup:

Nice game! At first i didnt fully know how to play but i managed to figure it out eventually. A pretty calm experience :)

robeecodes 2022-10-10 20:32

@mavvy Thanks so much for the insightful feedback, I'm glad you like it :smile:

@blue-pin-studio Thank you for the nice feedback, I'm happy you found the game to be calm :grin: As you weren't sure how to play at first, is there any way you think I could improve the "How to Play" section in the description? I want to make an in-game tutorial from it at some point, so I hope to make it as clear as possible. (Of course, if you hadn't read it before playing, don't worry, I understand :laughing:)

Fun game, I managed 690 points! I really liked the art style, especially the background color palette! I would make the wasp bullets a different color though, I found them hard to see against the background.

blue-pin-studio 2022-10-11 07:32

@robeecodes for jam games i skip all of the writing outside the game. I hope to learn how to play the game inside the game :D

robeecodes 2022-10-11 14:31

@simba Thank you for the feedback! Wrt the wasp stingers, I was conscious they might be hard to see, so I asked a few people to check it out to help me get it right during development, so I'm not really sure how their visibility could be improved further or what colour might work better while remaining on theme. Do you have any suggestions?

This was a pretty fun little game. I overall liked the games visuals. The sound effects was okay, but I would also have liked to hear some music. Overall is this a simple and fun little jam game.

robeecodes 2022-10-13 13:16

@jk5000 Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you like it! Truth be told, I was waiting for someone to comment on the sound design lol, this is only the second game I ever made and I didn't have time to figure out what to do about music within the Jam timeline 🥲 If it's not too much trouble, do you have any recommendations on where to get music from?

jk5000 2022-10-13 13:32

I usually makes my own music with LMMS. But I know that Kevin MacLeod make some royalty free music.

robeecodes 2022-10-13 14:46

@jk5000 I see, thank you for the suggestion!

chuchugeralt 2022-10-13 16:21

Save the bees! It was a fun little game, which would be even better with music. I would also let the event for the rain to end properly, i get the idea (10 seconds), but I would just let them flown out of the window instead of just letting them disappear after 10 seconds.

robeecodes 2022-10-13 22:49

@chuchugeralt Thank you for the feedback! Lol, yeah, the rain :laughing: you've said exactly what I wanted to do after completing the core gameplay elements, but I ran out of time 🥲 Similar with the wasps and fog, if I continue building, I'll make their entrances and exits a bit cleaner as well.

If it's not too much trouble, do you have any recommendations for where I could get music from?

chuchugeralt 2022-10-14 08:42

@robeecodes Since I usally play around with different programs to create the audio for the games, I can just highly encourage you to do the same - if you like the idea of creating your own music of course!

I really like to create, sample and loop sounds to create the music I want to have - you could also use programs like "music maker" to easily put these sounds togehter.These programs usally have other features to play around with as well, so you can easily create a unique song without using the templates or their samples.

If you dont have the time (or the ear :D ) to do that, i would look for "CC0 Music", f.e. https://opengameart.org/content/cc0-music-0

If you use music you didnt create, you should opt out on the audio rating, of course. But I believe that even if you dont get ratings in that area, the other ratings will still improve - because your game feels more "finished".

Hope that helps you!

@chuchugeralt Thank you so much, that's really helpful information and I appreciate the time you put into it :smile: I will definitely look into it all for next time!
