Good looking game! I got a bit confused about three or so levels in - when I ran out of honey I couldn't figure out if there was a way to reset it.

@greynovembergames Yeah I added comfort controls quite late on so they're not that obvious. The R key resets the level now.
Awesome mix of puzzle + minesweeper!
This is a really cool little mix of puzzle minesweeper. I have a hard time figuring out which tiles are "good" sometimes, but I struggle with regular minesweeper too haha
Fun stuff! You have to stop and think a little but it's not too hard that it's annoying. Sometimes I have to try my luck, I'm not sure if it's my fault or there's some clues missing sometimes. Good idea either way and fits the theme well! And just a small note, but there's a bug on level 1-5 with the honey on the bottom right giving you infinite honey as long as you walk over it again.
@feor Thanks for the feedback, after you wrote about the honey bug I noticed that I never reset the flag if a tile contains honey, I just delete the honeydrop :sweat_smile: You can just keep farming honey by going back and forth, so thats definitely one to fix :smiley:
Cute! The minesweeper/campaign mix is a fun idea. You can brute-force the level solutions, especially since they don't seem to randomize. It's still fun to figure things out though, even when it's just easier to stop thinking. +1 for funny bee noise ;)
hexagons are the bestagons, this is a clever twist on minesweeper. It would be nice to be able to mark tiles to easier count the ones that might be bad and figure which ones are safe.
Had a lot of fun, originally didn't realize R was reset though, and I had to restart the game on one of the levels. Apart from that it's very fun and quite an innovative concept of using some elements from minesweeper (Would assume it's a bit inspired by minesweeper?). Very much enjoyed this game, but if you added some music it would be even better. Thanks for making this!
Very appealing appearance and concept. I didn't like:
(1) that I couldn't see the number of the space I was on, and because I had to use honey to move, that seemed like needless obfuscation. Maybe have the honey cost only apply to hidden spaces?
(2) that on almost every level, I had to guess. That was a feature of Minesweeper sometimes too, but it's even more pronounced here. Because you lose all progress and marks, it makes the forced replay a little annoying.
Well executed and fun, though, and very polished and clean with nice graphics.
That BEE sound stuck in my head. 5/5 audio!
Nice game. I liked the new twist on minesweeper. I think that the level design could be improved a bit to reduce the amount of guesswork though.
Charming. Love the bee movement noise, I have a feeling that's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. Great colors. I almost did a bee game myself.
I think I echo the frustrations of some others with the puzzle design, it seems like there's a lot of guessing involved, which upsets the logical side of my brain :triumph:
I ran into a bug (not the bee :stuck_out_tongue: ) when running out of honey I couldn't move, which is the lose state, but it didn't seem like there was any way to reset the level without restarting the game completely.
So kinda like Minesweeper in some way, but the problem with the gameplay is that you can just go on grey tiles, remember where is the danger and restart the level. Font and the name of the game are pretty funny :)
Really nice game. I played through all the levels, but I did end up needing to guess to finish the last level because I didn't have enough honey to get the information I think I needed? (maybe I'm just bad at minesweeper). I really liked this game, it's a clever adaptation of mine sweeping. I really liked the consistent visuals, and the little buzz sound effect was cute even if it did start to get annoying.
Nice take on Minesweeper !
The gameplay was nicely implemented, and even though the puzzles were not super challenging, I think that with a bit more time, you could have make harder levels, with, maybee (ah! You see the pun?) some new mechanics.
Overall, I really enjoyed it.
Well done !

Really cool use of minesweeper mechanics that made for some fun puzzles :smile:
Some of the levels didn't seem solvable just off of the minesweeper logic (which does also happen all the time in the original minesweeper to be fair), but using the amount of honey I had and how far I was from the end let me solve almost all of the puzzle without having to guess too much - and if a guess was necessary the game resets to fast it wasn't really frustrating. I had a tonne of fun playing this, great job :grin:
Very cute idea for the theme! I did have a couple issues where the game would stop responding and I had to reboot it. Cool Minesweeper homage though!
