Good job on your first submission! I initially fell off the left side of the screen and had to restart, but ultimately made it up to the firefly and grabbed it before falling off the right side of the screen. I'm not sure if I won, or if there was more?

That aside, beautiful artwork, and the bee is very cute and affable. I would like to see more variety in the platforming and a web build in the future!

The artwork is very beautiful and the animations of the bee is smooth. I got the glowing flower on the right side of the screen on first submission, but I don’t know what to do next. “Overall, this is a very interesting game, and I really enjoy it.

Hey so the current version a bug (hehe) that blocks level progression. We are doing our best on fixing it asap. Also also to make it clearer, some abilities are unlocked by collecting honey which makes this bug even worse. I will upload some of the art asset later if we ended up unable to update the game.

For your first Jam truly a great game, some feedback though, if you guys fixed the bugs, this would be one of my favourites for this jam.

With issues like web not working, visual bugs and what seems to be a bug when i get to the top of the first level where it moves the camera to the bottom and i cant move or do anything. If you guys can fix those i think this would be such a gem. I hope you guys the best and truly well done!!!

The art style is so cute, I love this little bee! ovo
But I'm having trouble falling off the right and not being able to move to the right, so maybe need clearer guidance

really cute art and fun platformer the block directions were a little janky and i had trouble controlling the direction I was blocking. it was a cute fun game besides that!

I love the intentionally goofy looing main character! He's so endearing and cute. Beautiful drawing and coloring. I will say the controls felt a little too clunky. I know that sometimes that's a deliberate challenge, but it felt very frustrating at some points in this game. Overall, great submission for your first jam!

Love the character art. I did run into some trouble with the abilities (not completely sure why I wasn't able to double jump at first when reaching that point), but eventually made it to the end! Like others have said, I think it turned out well considering this was your first jam :)

The art is so well made. It is a little janky but I appreciate the gameplay especially how the bee stick to the platforms mid air.

So um block is unlocked at the beginning of the second level by getting one honeydew. And I think spear is permanently bugged? In the older version if you spamming left click enough you can summon one that damage yourself. We are all very new to Unity related programing. I apologize :c

The art style is cool, I like it. And I enjoyed playing and finishing the game. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the controls, that is the mouse buttons weren't always working and the Space key for double jumping was also a bit tricky. But overall, a good game!

Like the graphics but at first I found it a bit hard to tell what I could jump on.

Love the style well done on the art and game play. also had trouble knowing what I could jump on since the art blended so well with the background, in this case changing the art's lighting subtly to indicate what is part of the level would've been great. overall good level design!

Very pretty game. I really like the art style and the animation. The only complains I have on the art is that sometimes it is a bit hard to tell where to go or what is a platform (but it is not too bad at all), I also would have liked if the little wisp would also look into the same direction as us.
For the gameplay itself we kind on get stuck on side of some platforms which is a bit awkward (but sometimes helps not falling off haha). I would also have liked a clearer feedback on getting hit, but I think it was bugged?
All that said it was a nice game, I liked finishing it!

For your first jam, really well submission! I got to the "double jump" part, and couldn't seem to get it to function consistently, but overall, really cute game! I enjoyed it.

Very nice effort for a first jam. Love the art. I did run into a couple minor bugs and felt a bit clunky at times. But overall really great effort.

Great job and congrats on completing your first game jam!!! The art was so cute, and I love love the animations! I also really liked the little leaves and mushrooms you can jump on. I thought your game was cute and I managed to complete it (even though I'm not so great at platformers lol!). Congrats again!!!

Really cool game with great graphics, the collisions are a bit weird sometimes, but it's a fun game !

Too bad there are a lot of bugs because the drawings are really very nice. At first I got stuck on the right and had to start over. In the second level with the purple drops there is a delay when you press a key and I got stuck on a wall.

The overall art style is great, and the gameplay is quite smooth. For a first-time entry, you all have done an amazing job. I really like your game.

Cute game! It took a bit of digging to get the right version but once we did it was a smooth playthrough! The post with the wip/unused animations was what first caught my attention, the art and animation is really cute! The game was short and sweet though the jump at first felt a bit floaty we eventually got used to it. Overall a solid game especially for a first outing, hope to see more from you guys! -Swan

Beautiful game :heart: I am a little confused about the controls, maybe it's just my problem playing on a laptop with no mouse haha, but I don't understand the directions to double jump in the second level. Other than that I really like it, it's so chill and cozy!
