Honey Heist by CappaGames
This Game requires Microsoft .NET 4 and Microsoft XNA 4.0. If you don't already have them, you can download them at the links above. Both files are under 8 MB.
Concept: This game is a mix of Metal Gear Solid and arcade style gameplay. You must avoid enemies, gather pollen and return it before your energy runs out. Pollen is your score and you must meet a minimum amount before the wave timer runs out. You can return to the honeycomb at any time to drop off pollen and recharge your energy, but you may run out of time if you waste it carelessly and return too often.

Nice idea, however the controls are weird. And the time limit is incredibly tough!
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.
I thought the gameplay idea was solid, though the controls needed to be smoother (I didn't feel in control of my bee, and I didn't think that was the point), and the timer was somewhat unnecessary.
Good graphics and game. :)
I'm running into some collision detection issues though...I think if something chases you and you escape, the next time you enter something's range you die automatically. Or maybe something else is triggering it.
Anyway, thank you for the entry!
As it is this game is far to difficult to play. The graphics are nice.
