The pacing and ramping of the difficulty was done well also. The audio and graphics need a bit of work, although the backgrounds were pretty.

I think me and a lot of players die here because of the sign. I tried to jump on the bees to kill them. I know, it makes no sense, I just thought the sign hinted at this. the bees visibility maybe also played a role. I didn't see them the first time I hit them.\r\rthen I stopped at level 8, because there were so many impressions. I think it's because of the sudden jump in pickups and the enormous walls with brown patterns covering almost the entire level.\r\rI see not many people have left this one like me, but players leaving at level 6 could have the same reason also since you suddenly go from 1 to 3 floors.\r\rI think it's a cool mechanics though and a creative use of both themes. you can create some nice options for them for puzzles or use them for timing and coordination like you did with the bees. it's just seems difficult to create multiple choices and make it interesting as a puzzle. you can make the level more complex but this will probably scare players. I think you gotta find a way to create more choices but not stump the player with it. visually or mechanicly."},{"author_name":"kmakai","author_uid":"28426","time":"Dec 26, 2015 @ 4:02pm","epoch":1451145420,"text":"This was a really nice entry, I liked how relaxing the gameplay was when paired with the music (great job!).
