Good Game. Found it was hard to keep up once all my bees figured out they had better things to do. Good use of theme, good graphics. Fun to play.

This is a pretty cool game. It lacks balance and maybe some scenarios, but I think that if you developed it further it could be really cool to play.

Congratulations on making such a cool jam game with C2, I love it too!

A rather nice and relaxing game! The combined effect of the cute graphics and the soothing sounds was nice.

Cute little game. Liked the squishing sounds the bees made taking out enemies. Four minutes seemed like maybe too long a time for the level, at that point you've circled around a number of times. Liked the take on growing the forest.

Didn't really pay any attention to energy as it lasted so long, but besides that the game was really nicely balanced. It was fun to find out good strategies for getting better percentages, and it remained fun each time.

Very nice and clean.

Controls: Right-click-mania :D Maybe hold to enable following the cursor?

I found the game difficult until I realized it was possible to stack up a dozen bees at a time. It might be a good idea to add a limit on the number of bees. The energy management system plus the bee collection system leads to some interesting games. Overall an innovative concept, and it was nice to see someone using the "growing" theme :)
