Bee Bop by Madbarron

Dance your way to sweet success in this rhythm real-time strategy game! Play in your browser in about 10 minutes.

Instructions—Please Read!
Your hive is filled with workers ready to go out and collect nectar, and it's your job to tell them where to go—through the medium of dance!
Step 1: Pick a target
Find a spot with a full-looking flower. The tractor has 5 nectar out of a max of 8, so it's worth a visit!

Step 2: Do the corresponding dance moves
Use your left hand on WASD for the blue arrow and your right hand on IJKL for the orange arrow. The tractor says → ↓, so press D on one beat and then K on the next.
If you did it right, you should see the tractor appear in the thought bubble:

Step 3: Execute!
Double-down on those orders (with keys S, K) to send the bee on its way. If you forget this combo, a reminder is posted on the exit hatch.

Do it in style
If you can do all the above while pressing one and only one key per beat, sweet sweet nectar will soon be headed your way.

Need help?
The listener bee will get confused if you: - Miss a beat - Tell them to go to the same location twice in a row - Do a dance that does not correspond to any location - Tell them to leave without a destination

If this happens, don't panic! Just get settled and give them a new instruction (starting with the blue arrow) when you're ready.

A bit confusing, I wasn't entirely sure how the bees would go to a given place.
The art s sooo cute <3
I was bopping along to the great music and had fun watching the dancing bee do some serious killer moves haha
The voice lines were also a nice touch.
mechanic of the game could confuse, but it's easy.
Great game!
