Thank you all for your comments!\n@lucidus Thank you so much! It was my first time making music, and I was scared it was terrible.\n@jorbits I'm aware of that, but thank you for saying it. I'll try and see what I can do to fix it on the update.\n@pandepic Thanks! I know about the graphics, they kinda worked with the placeholder art, but as I wasn't sure how to fix the curves,etc; I decided to make the walls and sidewalks only one sprite, and that's why it looks like that. As I said, i'll see what I can do with the controls.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Maja Salamon","author_uid":"1061721","time":"2020-04-21T10:49:59Z","epoch":1587466199,"modified":1587466419,"text":"Unfortunately in the browser version a lot of the text is cut off. I was able to rotate the bee left and right however forward did not work. It's a shame was looking forward to seeing more. More effort could have been placed in music composition or perhaps some kind of ambient forest\/grass\/bird sounds and the flute on top. But good effot for your first time and it sounds very cute and sunny! It does look cute, but the graphics are a bit blury. :) Keep it up.\n\n![Milika 1 by AQUAGON (Maja Salamon) Slovenian Explorer-X.png](\/\/\/raw\/911\/f\/z\/315be.png) ","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Historymaker118","author_uid":"1014434","time":"2020-04-21T10:58:29Z","epoch":1587466709,"modified":1587466709,"text":"Took a while to get comfortable with the controls, but once I did I started to enjoy it more. The music was very pleasant to listen to, shame the graphics weren't very good to match. One big thing I would add is better indication of when you're taking damage and what is causing you to take damage, as well as perhaps a slight improvement to change your momentum when you turn around to make it feel less floaty and give the player a little more control. Nice innovative idea though, and well done for getting something made in a weekend!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Shaolin Dave","author_uid":"1011376","time":"2020-04-21T22:57:57Z","epoch":1587509877,"modified":1587509943,"text":"I first notice that the opening story is cut off of the screen.  This is a simple GUI fix and techinically is allowed after submission, so I suggest fixing the canvas scaling. Also, it seemed the arrow keys worked but WASD only allowed rotating (@maja-saalamon give that a shot).\n\nMusic is good and relaxing.

Bee was a bit hard to control. It stops pretty quickly instead of having some speed, acceleration and friction.

As others mentioned the controls feel a bit weird and using W did not work for me. But I like the general Idea of the game.\nHowever if you do use physics based movement try to make it either fully physics based or not at all. The complete stop you get when you release the key somehow made the game feel very slow, because accelerating also took  long time.\nI think that if you tweak the controls a bit this could be a really fun game though.

I wish there was a bit more of it!\n\nBee movements felt strange to me. First, it felt very strange that you can turn with A D, but you cannot go straight with W. Why? Also, happened to me a lot that I was pressing up arrow, which should be making me go straight but was just making me spin around. Not sure why.\n\nAddition of some slapping sound effect when the bee gets damaged by the hand would go a long way in providing player with feedback.\n\nOverall, it is a good jam job and you should be indeed proud of finishing!

Apparently I forgot to add the W key to move forward, but it's already fixed in the Post Jam version. I believe you were spinning around because you collided with something. The slapping effect is a really good idea! I had something like that planned, but it didn't quite work out, but doing it like that should be nice and easy. Thanks!
