Cool concept, but the performance was too laggy on my computer to really enjoy :( Nice graphics and sound!

Cool graphics! I think it was necessary for you to implement a way to flip the bee, for the player try to fit the comb even if he screwed up a little =) Nice 1!

The graphics are super sweet! And not only that, the whole game feels really nice and polished, even the menues, which are often neglected by other jammers. Good job!

Cool game, love the vector graphics mixed with texture.
Would be nice to have some idea of where the flowers are coming from beforehand -- as it is, a lot of the time I find myself getting hit by flowers that just spawned offscreen.
Being helpless to fit the honeycomb is kind of a pain, it'd be nice if at least the player knew beforehand where it was going to appear so they could plan around that (For example, if the comb appears on the top, hang around the bottom of the screen to avoid getting flowers on your top).

Pleasant colors to look at and amusing and fun music. Gameplay gets a little stale after a while, and the bee moves just a tad bit too fast in my opinion. It was pleasant to play though! Good job :)

Great take on the theme. I was confused how it related until I stopped having nothing, then it became very clear how important "starting with nothing" is.

The graphics look great. The gameplay itself gets a bit tired, but that's not really a problem for a quick game like this. It's a cool concept and it's well-implemented.

As others have said, it would be nice if you could rotate the flowers or at least know where the hive is going to appear. As it is, your first flower can spell your doom if RNJesus isn't kind to you.

Cute game with a fun concept. I like how the flowers stick to one-another. Can make the game very chaotic!
