Пчелиная братва обложка.png

Click on flowers to collect pollen! You need to gain as much pollen as you can just in 5 days, so you can become a special bee. But remember that you don't have much energy, and grabbing pollen from wiltered flowers may be a risk...

There are 5 randomly generated levels in this game. There is no sound.

Well what can I say? I stayed normal, got banished, became a knight! Took me minute to figure out how to properly play this but as you can see I played it a couple of times.

Good job. Def missing some audio.

I couldn't figure out right away but when i did it was fun. The criteria wasn't super clear, I thought it would change each level. Would be nice to have random criterias every run (which flowers you should go to or avoid). I didn't make it to fancy bee :')

I got 250mg pollen! Fairly straightforward and I love the theme of bees collecting pollen. At first I thought the criteria of which flowers were desired each day/round would change, but when they didn't it became a matter of "find the dotted healthy flowers and click them all, avoid the wilted when possible". It felt like there could be something competing for the 5 clicks/energy to try and strategize more. Great work on the visuals!

Pretty cool little game, but I think it could do with more mechanics to be more interesting to play.

Interesting gameplay, I played it couple of times actually. It feels like it has potential but I don't know how to build upon it

I like the concept of the game. If you need any suggestions, for me this would really do great with another mechanic. Just listing some ideas: Idea 1: make the energy depend on time. Idea 2: make the energy depend on distance traveled with mouse. Idea 3: make some strategic way of moving out the bees that are sitting on the perfectly good flowers, for example use 2 enegry to move the bee off the flower.

A interesting concept and really pretty art. The game is quite cute. It took me a moment to understood how it worked and I might still haven't figured something out because it seems that sometime you can't win and become knight because there isn't enough flowers.
As other have sayed in other comment the game could be improved (in my opinion) by having a more strategic aspect for exemple with the energy management. Or having the other bees moving.
Still the game is fast and I played until I could became a knight !

A bit simple to me. But really nice art!

Simple game but presented nicely. I figured it out but initially I had a hard time noticing which flowers had pollen, wish that was easier to see. The different endings really made this game, fun to try to see them all (are there just 3?)

@anson-rutherford Yep, there are three of them! We wanted to have two more (the best and the worst ending), but took too much time so we had to cut them
