BeeGone by Sylf

[raw]
made by Sylf for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Become a bee in an apocalyptic town. Fly around, gather pollen from the last flowers, and try to do your bee's job.

Control the bee using your voice – we recommend making a standard 'BZZZZ' sound, but we also encourage you to sing your favourite song or hum a melody. The mood of the game changes with the sounds you choose – bring more hope and laughter to the world, or create the soundtrack of the last bee in a doomed world.

This game requires a microphone, so please, play the game in our Web build.

Good luck, bay-bee! Screenshot_36.png

I had a good laugh when I realized I was going BZZZ for 3min straight. I liked the 3D models used and that the game was moderately difficult but achievable. My only issue is the design in font choices/color- I think readability is important.

Had to fumble around for my microphone, but once I did, I enjoyed flappy-birding my way through the space!!

Interesting idea, but the not so great camera movement spoiled it for me.

mic function didn't work on my PC( still nice game, but it doesn't hide the cursos when it becomes 3d, that's a little annoying

Hey, nice job. Controlling the bee with your voice is definately the most unique mechanic I have encountered so far and it's really fun too, although I felt a bit stupid making random sounds alone in my room :sweat_smile:
Small nitpick: I wasn't able to find the nest after finding all the flowers, so it would have been nice if it was highlighted somehow. Maybe with a path like for the flowers. Other than that, it was super fun!

This is really cool! I wasn't able to play with a mic (my issue, not the game fyi), so found the controls a little difficult. But this is a really cool take on the theme! Also, that last flower grew in a really strange spot! lol!

How did you come up with this idea? It's interesting and unusual! Besides the fact that bzzz is in my head, I really like the graphics, the post-apocalyptic atmosphere is felt very well. And thanks to those radioactive fireflies, I couldn't have done it without them!

Niiiice, i liked this game! I feel like my naighbours are gonna kill me for playing this at night lol :')
An interesting mechanic, very fun to play, especially with someone (i played with my mom and we couldnt stop laughting bc we needed to wisper to talk lol)
weirdly the mount did not fix in the center for me so had trouble with turning when it hit the walls, dunno if thats my problem or the game tho-
Really like the atmosphere and all 3d models too!

The idea and creativity are 10/10. Relevance to the theme is also 10/10. The fun level, just like what I've mentioned so far, has also reached its peak. This is the first game at this event that is based on microphone gameplay. I also appreciate that you anticipated that some players might have issues with their microphones or might not have a microphone at all, yet you still gave them the chance to play by offering an alternative method. You thought of everything and considered everyone! Well done!

I like the idea and how it looks! I didn't like the controls, but I am also not used to playing 3D games. My mouse was blocked by the edge of the screen, so I couldn't turn far enough to comfortably navigate.
I like the graphics, the sun is really beautiful. I enjoyed singing/bzzing songs to make the bee fly. Together with my boyfriend we finally managed to find the flowers and the end of the game.

Probably the most innovative mechanic of the games I've played from the jam.
