That was hillarious. The thought of you recording all these sounds in the middle of the faculty building with other devs around is really... interesting. I was laughing my ass off since the beggining to the end. However, I was clicking furiously right before dying, and clicked Restart by accident. Why is that button so big...

This is hillarious. Well done! The voice acting and kazoo soundtrack really makes it.

The audio was funny and worked well with the bonkers mission. The graphics could haven been a little better but I thought some of the art was entertaining in its own way.

It was so silly and off the wall, but the sound effect of the pink people moving away from my bee beard was annoying if I didn't kill them. I could never defeat the guy at the end of level 2.

Thanks for sharing your game!

So first of all, the introduction scene was hilarious and I was laughing my ass off, but it really kind of just ends there. The gameplay feels like a grind, it takes too long to kill enemies, the sound effect of hitting enemies, albeit funny.. (WAAH) became really infuriating as you hit a lot of enemies. (Looping over and over, killing my ears)

I stopped at the level where you had to collect 40 bees because it takes too long to kill enemies, graphically of course the game is not very pleasing, the audio was funny, but too loud/too repetitive and poorly implemented.

I didn't have much fun past the first level, due to the fact that it felt like a grind, and also the game plays with one button, which I guess kind of fits to the theme.

Not very innovative, not a very good mood, but a funny entry nonetheless.

Anyway, thank you for your entry! I hope to see you make games in the future as well!

Quite the silly little game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/G4-JCtlxKuU

As with you previous Ludum Dare game, the humour and music are amazing!
Pity that the man with axe kills me with one touch, and I can't do a single hit on him

The introduction was very humorous but the constant screaming ingame was very annoying.

Není to vůbec špatné hodnotím tak 3 až 4 hvězdičkami. Je tam skvělý příběh a nápad což té hře opravdu pomáhá do příště bych se zaměřil na lepší grafiku ... Ale za tu krátkou dobu jsi vytvořil něco co se dá v této soutěži považovat za nejlepší. Hodně štěstí v soutěži. :)

Very funny game :) Different kinds of bees would have been cool maybe?

Those guys with axes are too smug. Fantastically humorous game, there is no better game than a game that requires you to grow a beard!

Really liked the concept of controlling the bees.

Lol! Although I kind of want to give the audio both 1 and 5 stars simultaneously :P.

Collecting you minions was fun, in particular sense of progression (from 4 puny bees to entire army). My main complaint is that gameplay was too dependent on exploiting enemies pathfinding. Sounds were hilarious.

Best audio ever. Loved how the music became minor for the boss fight - and the gameplay was quite interesting once I had to start getting walls between me and the enemy. Nice work!

Hahaha that was great, well done on the storytelling, narration, audio and controls ! On the gameplay side maybe it could have been a bit more challenging (apart from the bossfight) because for now you just have to hide behind a tree block while the bees do all the work :)

Awesome. I give it 68 out of 68 Bees in a Beard.

Really funny voice-over and sound effects. Had a laugh by running past all the pink enemies, they just keep on screaming and never stop.
Combat was deeply flawed, if you tried to kite them I always misclicked and move to them instead of attacking -> a deadly mistake. Would have really helped to have a separate button for attacking and moving... like... you know... TWO BUTTONS.
Instead I just stood around the corner, and slowly killed them, while they got stuck in the wall...
Still, nice game, had fun playing it.
