I think the game idea is great and the main mechanics are well implemented. However, the way the bees appear make it a bit unfair for the player to avoid them.

I also think the game would benefit from a consistent visual style and some tweaks here and there. But I already said all of this on the stream. Good job!

Not a bad idea, seen a few games like it this jam (not that you copied somebody, it is just a common design premise). I think if bees were a bit more common and maybe if they shift directions or something like that, it would have been better but over all not too bad.

LLRRLLRR forever for the win! Well, I only got to 4600, but it was good while it lasted. I see you didn't make the music but you did a good job selecting the sfx and bgm. Nice work.

Nice addictive mouse-mashing game :)
I've tried a bunch dozen times to reach space but i could not beat 4700m :) Those lasts bees are angry...
Cool and simple mechanic, this works nice!

Decent game, but it didn't really have much to it. It was nice to see the background change, but I never really tried that hard in the game as it felt like it was almost entirely luck-based.

Quite enjoyed the game, I think it would have been nice to see some stars (unless you do get some, I only got to 4200 odd meters) when you got so far as it felt like the sunflower was growing into space :) You could have then added different enemies to then too :)

Also runs fine in Microsoft Edge btw :)

The music, graphics and sounds play nice together!

Uhh...bees kill the flower? Aside from that bit of nonsense (:P) a cool game, though it could do with some visual tweaks and BG music, as others have said. I also would have liked to see a little less randomness in the way the bees appear, to make it more fair. I did like that the flower grows multiple METERS per growth, though; that was funny.
