Didnt expect the ending, very relaxing game. Infinite loop mode potential.

This game is so cute!

SPOILERS:

Brutal ending!

This felt to me like one of those pre-installed games on windows 7 that you played when you had no internet. I enjoyed the graphics and the whole ambiance.

dylanbrowne 2024-10-07 07:30

Haha the ending really got me, good job!

WOW, a very cool game! The simple relaxing gameplay and pleasant music set the atmosphere. And what is the ending of the game worth... I was even a little sad when I lost my friend ant... I think the game evoked emotions and it's very cool, that's why I play games!

yoav-kagan 2024-10-07 11:50

Fun and cozy!

conradoclark 2024-10-07 12:53

I could see a game like this becoming something like Overcooked but for flowers/bugs. Plant the flowers the right way, deliver them to the bugs, etc etc. Very interesting idea!

The game is very cozy yes (until the very end haha), I liked the visuals and the whole mood. Great job!

guadalupe-murgo 2024-10-07 13:20

wow, what good graphics, I really liked your game!

sviborg 2024-10-07 14:03

flightless 2024-10-07 15:45

Oh no! :no_mouth: Cute game!

markeryjane 2024-10-07 19:58

i'm devastated :O the peaceful vibe was set up so effectively that i couldn't believe the ending. i love the simple design of the core mechanic as well.

sockenpuppe 2024-10-07 20:02

I sure did not see that ending coming haha

Great work!

rynti 2024-10-07 20:42

Enjoyed it while it lasted, and loved the ending, although there are so many spoilers everywhere it's almost impossible to not expect it :/

bestjess 2024-10-07 20:46

Cute game, relaxing mechanic! I do wish the gameplay had some variation in it though -- maybe new flower types as it progresses? By the time I reached the end it had gotten monotonous for me

franklyn01 2024-10-07 20:50

Very cute art!

custodi 2024-10-07 20:52

So peaceful game and then ending.. You are a monster ✘_ ✘

Nice and cutie art, nothing more

waterflow 2024-10-07 21:00

Neat and chill, liked the simplicity of it! Would love to see a memorable picture of my team of tiny creatures at the end :p

dywanix 2024-10-07 23:50

Very cute and funny ending!

stormburpee 2024-10-08 00:04

The little dues when they were waddling was very cute.

Seeing the last guy get taken by the bird was hilarious, but very sad.

I feel like if you had some feedback when the wrong flower was dragged onto the creature, it would demonstrate what the user is doing wrong a bit easier (i.e, highlight the leaf red if it had to many/to little). Music was great, and very relaxing.

fractal-flower-girl 2024-10-08 00:45

The bugs were really cute! I didn't care for the end, but I enjoyed everything else. Nice job!

andrewkennedy 2024-10-08 01:56

Cute game, and nice music! I thought the ending was pretty funny - definitely wasn't expecting it to end that way! Good job!

blackcat508 2024-10-08 03:03

mechanics are nice and simple, and the ending was great! The only thing I could suggest would maybe be adding another mode where you where put on a time limit or something when picking the right flower

kitira 2024-10-08 05:51

So sweet and relaxing - except for the ending ;D Nice little game.

jejkobb 2024-10-08 06:58

@blackcat508 true, during the jam I was thinking of ways to make it more challenging, and now in hindsight I realized I could've just had them keep walking and have the thoughtbubble pop up in the beginning, and you just have to give them the flower before they walk past. And then I just increase their spawnrate as the game goes on. It would've been an interesting dymanic between the amount of flowers and the amount of insects! Anyways hindsight 20/20

@stormburpee That's a great idea! At the very least I should've added some kind of sound as feedback.

@waterflow omg I wish I added that, like a school group picture in the end of everyone standing with their flowers, that would've been amazing! Great idea!

@bestjess you're right it does get pretty monotonous, I think I could've added some kind of mechanic towards the end where the bug says what they dont want, and then you'd have to think about it in another way while playing.

Thanks for playing my game and thanks for the valuable feedback everyone!

meep 2024-10-08 07:17

Really relaxing! I was questioning what the deal was during the first few flowers, but it really doesn't need one. It reminds me of those virtual (and sometimes interactive) greeting cards—cute but with a twist. :')

lzic 2024-10-08 09:15

Love it ! Nice music and sound, i give it 5 on humor,

danoka 2024-10-08 15:33

iroroi 2024-10-08 15:58

kirass 2024-10-08 17:45

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

purplexy 2024-10-08 18:17

I just finished re-watching the true credits from beelivery, w̶i̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ and decided to see if you've participated in this game jam. Needless to say, seeing more bees made me very happy.

jejkobb 2024-10-08 20:05

@illia-kryvolapov That's so fun to hear! I sent your comment to the people I made Beelivery with, and they loved to see it as well haha

irene02 2024-10-08 22:12

Nooooo:cry:... Anyways, beautiful artstyle, simple and cute game, the actual definition of less is more. Great entry!

peringo 2024-10-09 15:43

Cute, polished entry. I like the soft artstyle, wish more full games used it to do cool stuff.

andreia 2024-10-09 20:30

This game made me smile :) Art is beautiful and audio is so soothing. Made my day happier. Would be really curious on how this could be expanded into something to do a little bit everyday for fun and mediation. Great work here!

lightningst 2024-10-09 22:17

Great job on your art! Everything just looks great!

nickhellquist 2024-10-09 22:32

It was all so peaceful and cute, until the end where I watched in horror as disaster struck :cry: Nice game :)

hubol 2024-10-11 03:49

Love the little guys and the pensive, optimistic music!

f1krazy 2024-10-12 15:45

When a jam game says "Make sure you play until the end", you know it's gonna be good. And it was good. Very simple, relaxing gameplay, and an ending that perfectly hits that "crossing the line twice" threshold of being way funnier than it should be. Good job!

danial-jumagaliyev 2024-10-14 19:47

Cute and nice concept! Graphics-wise amazing, I really like the cloud effect that you did for the thought bubbles, reminded me of the graphics in Baba Is You.

oh but what a gruesome ending.. lol
