The regenerating mechanic is really nice but i feel the controls are very sluggish and my mouse was always exiting the game area. Fun game!

Really cool spin on breakout - maybe I'm awful at it, but I would suggest spawning bees in intervals, I felt like I had to let some bees down to catch the others when they would spawn.

It's like Super Super Breakout :)

I like how hectic it can get with bees everywhere! The ending is funny too :P See what you hunger for honey brought upon you!

Good work!

Nice concept. The music however felt misplaced, metal-ish doesn't go well with the presentation you have there.

Nice work! Interesting take of breakout.

The dead bees could have been bit different color though, like gray, as they were difficult to recognize from still living ones, causing misses.

67 bees and 91.20 honey

Very nice take on breakout, enjoyed this!
A complaint would be the music, metal just doesn't suit this. :P

Hehe, Im so bad at these types of games. I just cant track more than 4 bees ;) But the game looks and feels very polished. Good work!

Haha funny concept and good execute, but mouse control is very lazy working for me :) However, good job!

A decent game, somewhat sluggish on the mouse. I found the choice of music quite funny.

haha amazing fun! I'm hooked.
The 10 second theme doesn't really affect gameplay, but the mechanic is awesome, so I'm giving it top marks for theme as well! The music was bee-like and awesome, on top of everything.

Wow, really fun innovative way to make a breakout. I especially like how you integrated the bee theme in the look and gameplay. And the idea that bees stings (which means that there is a risk with to have too many "balls") is brilliant.

Great idea, fine implementation, everything nicely polished. And fun to play.

My one quibble is the decision to make the honeycombs permanently regenerating rather than allowing you to complete them and start a new level - this for me meant that a key part of the underlying breakout gameplay was lost and left me wondering exactly what I was aiming to do other than bounce bees around for as long as possible.

Nevertheless, a really really fine effort.
