It lacks balance and maybe some scenarios, but I think that if you developed it further it could be really cool to play.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Congratulations on making such a cool jam game with C2, I love it too!"},{"author_name":"justinooncx","author_uid":"38380","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 11:54am","epoch":1450266540,"text":"A rather nice and relaxing game!

Liked the squishing sounds the bees made taking out enemies.  Four minutes seemed like maybe too long a time for the level, at that point you've circled around a number of times.

It might be a good idea to add a limit on the number of bees. The energy management system plus the bee collection system leads to some interesting games. Overall an innovative concept, and it was nice to see someone using the &quot;growing&quot; theme :)"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Jan 15, 2016 @ 2:31pm","epoch":1452867960,"text":"Neat little game!
