Congrats to the worker bees! Loved the graphics, the choose-your-path moveset (I obviously couldn't resist doing the signals on beat), and, most importantly, the bumblebutt dance move!

I got lost and ran in circles more time than I'd like to admit, but it was a lot of fun šŸāœØ

This was so fun! I liked the mild puzzle, which was interesting but not too hard. The music, art, and humor was bee-utiful!

i really loved the graphics

Wow! The music is great. Plus, the bees are adorable!

The bee animations were so good. In general all the art was great. I found the gameplay a little slow-paced however, even though the concept was fairly unique.

Incredible art and mood, really like the music too!

Great graphics, soundtrack and vibes, and cool puzzles! Really well done! There were some pain points:

Sometimes I pressed an arrow key and had to finish a random dance, making sure not to move away. In the beginning I also misunderstood the position of the bees, thinking they were one tile diagonally further up. I saw the dropshadow at some point, but I wish it was easier to see.

Wish you good luck!

I thought it was a rhythm game at first šŸ˜„ I absolutely love how the bee moves! It was fun and a little bit challenging (well, I’m not usually a fan of puzzle games ^^), but the charming graphics made it even more enjoyable.

Perfect! So funny bees and interesting interpretation of theme, good job!

My head was bobbing to the beat while I was playing.

Haha fun concept! Really polished graphics and audio. I love how bright it is. Maybe its a little too hard? When you go the wrong way. Also the move inputs sometimes dont clear? That was a little confusing.

Ur game is super adorable! Great game!

I really liked how the puzzle structure makes the bee dances feel like actual forms of communication. Guiding the entire swarm together to find the flowers adds a layer of fun complexity to the movement. Great job turning a natural process into a cute mini-game!

The music is fantastic, it really sounds like it was written by bees šŸ˜„ At first I thought the game was about quickly entering arrow combinations to steer the bees, but then I realized it is more like a puzzle with a chess-like logic, which I liked a lot.

Bit the puzzles were a bit difficult for me, and I did not understood right away which square do the bees belong to, so at first I was confused why they could not collect pollen even though they right at the flower. So maybe just move the circle sign under the hive, so that it is more noticeable?

Overall, this is a very polished and enjoyable game. Great work!

Wow, so cute little guys, an interesting idea with the transmission of bee signals through dancing, very charming, the game is well done.

Really cute game! The puzzles were simple enough to be fun but challenging enough to not be boring - though it did take me a second to figure out that I could use 'return to the hive' at any time rather than just after collecting pollen lol. Great job!

Wow! Cool style, sounds, animations, and graphics. The puzzle is great, and it would be nice if it required a little less time to complete (within the context of a jam).

Just great all around! I had a lot of fun! Took me a second to wrap my brain around it but then I was dancin' along and getting pollen. Loved the track and the dancing animations were very cute! Thanks again for playing and commenting on Please Press Button and congrats!

super cute game! Love the style and the music is awesome too, super catchy!

it took me a sec to realize that you can return to the hive, it was a very welcome addition lol. I thought the mechanic was fun even if there isn't any real punishment add some challenge
