gotta be really fast here! i like the concept.

A bit hectic in the start, but I liked it overall. Expected it to be possible to hit several enemies with one bee, though. Would have liked that feature. Good entry!

Cool implementation of the theme. And yeah, pretty difficult! I like the graphics and the controls

I liked the concept as well, you have to be very fast, and it's fun to try to balance your economy and military. The game worked bug free for me which is quite impressing given this is made in a small amount of time. The graphics need an upgrade but it's a jam game so it's OK. Good job!

whoa thats a difficult start... nice theme though!

Really fun game - you really have to make quick decisions and have high accuracy here. Found it pretty difficult, but a challenge can be a good thing too :) GJ!

At start just shoot all the five bees directly into the flowers. Then its pretty easy i think

Most of REAL fun I had so far with an LD43 Game, it felt like a RTS/Tower Defense game. It had economy, great level design and pretty good use of the theme. Awesome game.

A difficult start! I liked the graphics and the concept though. Great job!

It's difficult at the beginning. There is basically only one strategy to follow, like you said yourself. So a small balancing issue there. But a nice game overall.

Cool game. It was fun to play just started off a bit difficult

Very difficult start !! Nice concept..cool graphics and gameplay..Great Work.

@sashbros by difficult start, did you ever manage to learn it?

Nope .. I played but the bear always had the hive.. I tried to play but was not able to..

Just came back to the game to play a bit more. I really like it.

32 damn....

@publicidadeba :)

A little hard but once I got some worker bees I got better. Very solid entry!

A good game all around! Nice way of using the same resource for multiple things, never having enough of everything at once. A menu and music that really sets the theme as well. Good job

A pretty difficult game. The art is simple but does a good job by creating a nice atmosphere.

LOL. When we tried to balance the game, we found it too easy because we had gotten so good at it. Now everyone thinks its difficult.

Very nice game :)

Hey beautiful, loved it. It's a very smooth and clean game. Controls are simple, and there's a nice level of difficulty. Good job :thumbsup:

Very fun and addicting. Its a hard game, but possible to get used to it after a few tries. The concept is very original.

51 kills and proud of it. Tough to start out but you get good after a little while. Mechanics would be SO much fun on a touch-enabled device. Good game. Well done.

I can't stop playing, even if I don't understand how to...

Had to play three times until I get the point, looks like a mix of tower defense and rts-lite. Kinda difficult, though. Thanks

Great work on the theme!

Good one, I like the graphics! It would be nice, if bees would automatically fly to flowers, sending them manually needs to much movement.

@shiitman good idea

Mechanics are kinda hard to use but other than that, gameplay is really addicting.

A fun game, though super-challenging. As others stated above, the trick is to send most or all of your bees into the flower patch at the beginning.

One way to improve this game is to have the bears slow down or pause when they're hit. That way shooting a bear can buy the player some time to get the next shots ready. Overall a very good game though!

@gamebuilder funny fact: the slow-when-hit mechanic is already in the game. Maybe the slow should be a little longer

I have written this review twice now, and twice, my computer crashed itself on me before I could post it, forcing me to start over. Excuse any lack of details. It’s my fault. Your score hasn’t changed, I’m just more laconic.

The gameplay is somewhat fun, but the difficulty needs a lot better tuning. It’s too hard at the beginning but then gets really easy, really fast. I came up with a solution though: prevent the bears from spawning until the player has, say, 10-20 bees total. Then, make the bears gain health much faster than they do currently. My rating: 4 stars.

It’s not that innovative. The gameplay is rather basic, and the innovation that is there mostly stems from the theme, and when everybody does the exact same “innovative” thing, it gets old. My rating: 3 stars.

It fit the incredibly polarizing theme. Yay. My rating: 4 stars.

For mood, all I can say is: why did you opt out? Never opt out of mood.

I’m not going to lie here: the screenshots look bad enough that I almost didn’t rate this game. However, you took the “programmer art” and gave it life! The animations and effects truly are fantastic! Get yourself someone to collaborate with to draw better stuff for you, and your games will look amazing with those effects! My rating: 4 stars.

Overall, it’s an alright entry. Don’t let the screenshots fool you: it’s way more interesting when you’re playing than it appears. It has some major tweaks that need to be made, but its still a good game. My rating: 4 stars.

This is one of the more unique entries I've played so far. I like how seamlessly the resource management ties into the action part of the game, where you're essentially farming for ammunition.

As is the case with most game jam games, the difficulty tuning could be better. I rarely found myself running out of ammo, despite rarely sending bees to the flowers for pollination, but I think you were still able to get the spirit of the idea across, and that's what's most important for an event like this. :)

The flying bears was also a nice touch of hilarity that I enjoyed! The sound effects could maaaaayyybe be a little less harsh, but other than that, I think you have a really solid idea here!

Great entry! I really enjoyed it and had fun trying different strategies. The honey/flower upgrade didn't feel necessary though, and I felt it just set me back.

@drauthius glad you liked it :D The upgrades are more of a late game strategy :)

That's a great take on the theme, I like the idea ! The controls to attack is a bit weird but you get used to it pretty quickly. The main problem is that it's very difficult ! I couldn't manage to kill more than 3 bears. Maybe starting with easier ennemies that dies in one hit would have been better. But anyway, I still liked playing your game, it's simple and fun, so good job :)

I thought I broke the game by just upgrading sting power... that didn't pan out as well as I wanted XD

Nice entry! We actually almost made a game about bees, as well -- but ultimately went with a different game because we couldn't figure out the mechanics we wanted.

I had some times when I'd click a bee and it would warp to the center, throwing off my aim, but it was manageable.
