A Gun That Shoots Bees by ShaunJS
YOU HAVE A GUN THAT SHOOTS BEES
why are you still here!?
Ok fine,
Collect nectar from flowers to acquire vital upgrades.
Defend the central hive from invading bears after your delicious honey.
Shoot bears with bees.
Move around with WSAD/Arrows, click the mouse to fire bees.
HAVE FUN.
I came up with a bunch of serious ideas then asked myself why not just make a game where you have a gun that shoots bees. So uh. I did that. Very refreshing to make a really silly game for once that's not really trying to do anything clever and is just stupid and fun. Also Bee puns.
PRO TIPS:
*There's a boss at Wave 20, after wave 20 the game gets exponentially harder with each passing wave until you're overwhelmed.
*You can explore the map to find big sources of nectar but it's very risky, learn when the best times are to hunt for nectar!
*You can't shoot through flowers and bees get distracted by it which affects your aim, so collect them quickly whenever possible!
*Watch the little ones.
*BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

The audio sometimes glitches and all I could here was buzzing, which was creepy, but not game breaking.
And great work's very fun!
Question - How do you make a game like this if you were to only use "Drag and Drop" ;) - A fan
I really like the game :P
-BirdPlaysGames
Overall very solid and polished game, one the bests I've seen this LD! :)
I will definitely look at your source code and bee wondering how you did all this!
Great work - unfortunately I couldn't follow your stream cause I was too beesy finishing my own game ;-)
+ I really liked the cartoony art style.
- No music :( a little summery tune would have been awesome.
+ Controls are spot on in my opinion, felt very comfortable straight away.
- Feel dead bears need to be more destinct, lost a few times to the little bears that were a struggle to see when the bear carcasses had piled up.
+ Feel of the game is great, from little bits of polish like the screen shake and the growing ammo bee hive thingy.
- Wasn't sure what the honey did at first.
+ Full game loop.
- Think a suttle way to indicate the bears health would help. Not really thinking a health bar but somthing "suttle" lol.
Most of the negatives are small and most likely down to just running out of time. One of the stronger compo games I've played.
p.s. feel like it was missing somthing sweet and explosive . . . perhaps honey grenades ;)
First i thought i would be childish when i saw screenshots but killing bears (beers?) families brings the fun...
I've just read there is a boss at 20th wave, I want to see this i may try again...
Great :)
