Beautiful art and overall fun game
Very cool vibes from this game. I liked the progression and the fact that there were multiple biomes. Nice and fun jam game. Really good job!
ooo man love this concept! bumblebees delivering pollen~ ah and the mood in this game is perfect!! I'd love this as a mobile game.
10/10 will bee back again
I can confirm for you that the Linux version works. :)
The graphics and music were absolutely lovely, being a hivemind of bees has never felt more relaxing. At first I thought the clouds represented level boundaries, and I was delighted to find that there was a ton of other environments and graphics to explore.
Sounds for wind and buzzing would have been nice to have, especially buzzing that changes based on bee speed/activity, but the music loop was soothing enough for me to rate audio 4.5.
Aside from the gameplay not really having any obstacles (other than searching for hives and pollen, which is immersive and fun), a two big things stood out to me with the gameplay:
1. The "hive" counter is broken, it doesn't increase once you deliver all the pollen and it does its animation.
2. You seem to lose bees rather than gain them at hives, contrary to the description.
Regardless of the gameplay quirks, this game is beautiful and you three did great work on it.
Cute and relaxing little game. Got all 9 hives. The only thing I miss are some buzzing sound effects.
Really cool game ! The controls feel great and fit well with the relaxing / calm aspect of the game. The wind and floating petals are a very clever way to tell the player where the flowers are. A good game overall good job
Love the visuals, especially the background effects when flying in the different areas. The camera could be a bit less dynamic, it gets a bit too nauseating sometimes. Otherwise, great work!
I loved the idea and the swarm mechanic, but after 2 hives half of my bees seemed to be stuck at some flowers and thus locked the flyable part of the world - maybe? All in all a very relaxing and satisfying game. Good job!
This is so cute 🥹 I love bees
Nice gameplay! I couldn't find all the hives though, I managed to find 6. I liked the wind shows flowers mechanic, wish you did something similar for the hives :stuck_out_tongue:
Great job! They achieved a beautiful and super relaxing atmosphere, the idea is also very good and the best thing is that they were able to implement it and that the gameplay feels very good. Congratulations! xD
Very nice! Movement feels really good, the mood is very nice and relaxing. I had some issues that after filling the second hive it did not trigger a new hive.
this is a very friendly game, thank you!! i love how fast you can go and how you can follow the blossoms while flying against the wind to find new flowers x3
The game ran extremally fast on my computer, and it was therefor nearly impossible to play. But I liked the visuals and music was really good. I liked the idea, and if it had ran slower, it would clearly have been fun to play. Overall I will say it's a good jam game.
A fellow beegame! Such a good vibe. Amazing job on the way the accelerator and slowdown of the swarm+camera feels. The grass ripple adds a lot and it really is fun to just zip around as your swarm of bees and then watch them spread out once you reach the flowers. All the different biomes...the way the swarm splits on rocks...all just so good!
I did find a hive where the flowers were right around it and that seemed to confuse a lot of my bees, but since I can ultimately control them it didn't end up causing any real problems.
Really great job!
