I like that you actually tried to build a mechanic around the tiny creatures instead of just reskinning an existing genre. If you were going to develop it further I would say improve the hitboxes (sometimes a bee hits something when it feels like they shouldn't, or I try to draw a line on them and it doesn't work), let the player \"queue\" a line on a bee while it's gathering, and maybe make the punishment for crashing a bee a little less harsh","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1082360,"author_name":"Nazariglez","author_uid":"nazariglez","epoch":1728303470,"text":"Nice concept, it actually gave me some ideas for my next game.

As someone who loves collecting, I really enjoy directing the little bees to gather nectar. I thought it was just about avoiding the trees, but then two bees bumped into each other and fainted, haha.

I found the most challenging part was avoiding bees exiting the hive.  I think the slow speed of the bees is fine as long as you are managing multiple bees but once I was down to one bee, much of the challenge was lost and the gameplay became very slow.
