Really cool concept! I like that you actually tried to build a mechanic around the tiny creatures instead of just reskinning an existing genre. If you were going to develop it further I would say improve the hitboxes (sometimes a bee hits something when it feels like they shouldn't, or I try to draw a line on them and it doesn't work), let the player "queue" a line on a bee while it's gathering, and maybe make the punishment for crashing a bee a little less harsh
Nice concept, it actually gave me some ideas for my next game. I did miss a bit of feedback when collecting items, but overall it’s a nice and chill experience. Great job!
Fun game! I like how you introduced new mechanics each level. I wish the game ran a bit faster and was full-screened, but the game was still great without it.
Interesting player controller! liked the idea of controlling the bees, andd thought this could be imrpoved with some automation: like drawing a path, and then the bee will return the same way!
This would make it a bit more simulation game, and I think it might be very interesting!
Great job with finishing the game!
The idea is pretty cool. I think I may be turned into a fully-fledged game. Although, it looks like a some kind of RTS but without a pathfinder, I found that drawing trajectories is somehow joyful.
This was fun! Interesting twist on the air traffic controller gameplay. Bear was a nice touch. Not a lot of feedback honestly. Could use some polish, but the gameplay is solid. Really nice job!
What a fun game! As someone who loves collecting, I really enjoy directing the little bees to gather nectar. I thought it was just about avoiding the trees, but then two bees bumped into each other and fainted, haha. It’s such a great game! To accomplish so much in just 48 hours and have it run so smoothly, along with a well-designed tutorial for beginners, is truly impressive!
It is a great idea to use lines to control units like this. I ended the game and got much fun. Music is nice and it would be nice too if there are some bees sounds.
I very much like the theming of the game! The drawing path gameplay is very cool, reminds me of some RTS games. A few suggestions on things to improve: - Should be able to enter the hive from anywhere (not just the entrance on the right) - Gameplay is a little bit slow to my taste - Add some sfx (music is nice, but sfx could add an extra thing!)
All in all great stuff there already!
Very fun concept, it gets increasingly chaotic in an interesting way. I really appreciate that you introduced one mechanic at a time. This entry reminds me of games like Overcooked which require you to pay attention to multiple things simultaneously, but with an RTS twist.
Great job!
It is a fun little game! I like the mechanism of the the game and the art style. Good job!
Omg!!!It is S-o beautiful!!!Nice job 10/10!!!
A really fun little puzzle game. Well done.
That's a really cute game. I caught myself doing nice paths around the map because it's cute seeing the bees flying it. Cool concept and the art style goes really well with it. Great job!
Nice! I found the most challenging part was avoiding bees exiting the hive. I think the slow speed of the bees is fine as long as you are managing multiple bees but once I was down to one bee, much of the challenge was lost and the gameplay became very slow. Maybe there should be a minimum amount of bees you need to keep alive as well.
This is so much better than being an air traffic controller for human planes :P
Reminds me of the old air traffic controller game, but with a whole bunch of additional mechanics: managing the limited number of pollen in each flower, avoiding trees, and swarming bears. It's all very complex, and quickly gets a bit overwhelming (my poor bees kept crashing), but fortunately the game is very forgiving and there doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of bees you can let die, as long as they're not carrying pollen (because eventually you'll run out).
Very enjoyable! Well done!
Nice concept! As @silkworm-sweatshop already pointed out, it became a bit too slow when you only had one or two bees to control but apart from that it was fun, congrats!
