I didn't see the potatoes for a really long time and I was wondering why I kept dying. Once I could see the potatoes it was a lot more fun, but I focused way more on dodging everything than collecting pollen I think I got like ~800 score. good job."},{"author_name":"@SamPotasz","author_uid":"21972","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 11:03pm","epoch":1367881080,"text":"I LOVED the look of this game!

The collisions are accurate, but I sometimes felt like a bit of leniency might have been nice. Only managed to get a score of around 2700 in the end (I keep dashing into the leaves when I'm charging a nearby potato lol). Tough little game :)"},{"author_name":"Kvisle","author_uid":"3818","time":"May 11, 2013 @ 11:32am","epoch":1368271620,"text":"Thanks for creating the standalone versions so I could try it!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is very hard, and it took me a few attempts to figure out what ended the game and what were good things to hit.  I don't think any of my attempts lasted more than 30 seconds.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I noticed that if I held down the mouse, you could see a trailing line - but my bee\/wasp\/thing would only fly directly to the end of it; Having it follow the trail could be a cool mechanic to add when flying through the more complicated areas.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the music and the graphics a lot."},{"author_name":"Xanjos","author_uid":"21201","time":"May 12, 2013 @ 7:37pm","epoch":1368387120,"text":"Controls were pretty nice and the overall gameplay is quite good.
