Bahaha! Love the way you have to control the bee :heart: . I feel like i'm in rocket league. Did not manage to beat all of you, and if I keep tryharding, there will be not more bees for the rest of us. I'm Wondering how good this could bee :^) with a touche screen controler. Wonderful submissions : Congratulation!! :confetti_ball:

@nija463 I am super impressed you picked that up! 😅 The physics are slightly made to emulate/imitate rocket league 🤯

The visuals is really good and the chosen music fits the game well. The controls felt a bit too complicated, but also pretty fun. Overall a good jam game.

I'm pretty well sucked in, I love games like this. I almost made it to number one on the leaderboards. It wouldn't have been as fun without the leaderboard, adding it was a good decision. I understand that the whole point of the game is to cope with the control, but still the rotation of the bee on the Y axis is very annoying, in Unity it can be removed by checking the box in Rigidbody “freeze rotation Y”, I think so would be much more enjoyable to play.

Even if the physics controls are all over the place, I love this because at the same time it's really sophisticated! There are so many variables in play that could take maybe weeks or months to master. Incredible! :sparkles:

Still, it's quite unforgiving right from the start. I wonder if the max velocity could be tweaked and that maybe the camera could zoom out if you go off screen. And I would definitely choose space bar as the "start" key rather than "dive to your death" W key :stuck_out_tongue:

This is cute—it's like a 3D Flappy Bird! I think the controls are a bit on the confusing side though (maybe it's because I've haven't played Rocket League)

I like the graphics: a bee, the environment, lighting and shadows. I had some issues with depth perception though but that's probably a skill issue. 😁 Great job!

Nice environment and a neat 3D twist on Flappy Bird, though hard to play as others have said. WASD does not really move the bee/screen as fast as space makes it jump. I would also suggest removing pressing W to start, since clicking Restart, then pressing W to start was kind of redundant, especially since I was having to restart so many times XD.

P.S. Still a cool submission and I hope you get those last two votes.

I Like the Concept of this 3D flappy bird very much. Its a Bit hard to Play though.

The humour is in watching that little bee fall for the thousanth time and being driven mad against the wall. How did they manage that high score? Am i lacking motor skills? the cheery music, the voices in my head AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

very "different" controls. Takes a lot of getting used to... but looks great and works.

I'm bummed that I wasn't able to play this during the rating period because it is so good! I love the concept and the mood. I think it might be nice if the flowers had shadows so you could more easily place them in 3D space. I also really wish this silly bee would stop rotating! But awesome job!!

Also...the music is very good, and the game has just the right amount of juice w/ particles and the overspeed camera change. I feel like the camera is a little off-center towards the right side of the level? Also my monitor is 3440x1440 and the bee goes off camera when I try to get the flowers to the left.
