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.\r\n\r\nPRO TIPS:\r\n*There's a boss at Wave 20, after wave 20 the game gets exponentially harder with each passing wave until you're overwhelmed.\r\n*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!\r\n*You can't shoot through flowers and bees get distracted by it which affects your aim, so collect them quickly whenever possible!\r\n*Watch the little ones.\r\n*BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ","title":"A Gun That Shoots Bees"}
