Garden of Bees by mokesmoe

[raw]
made by mokesmoe for LD34 (COMPO)
I was just growing some plants and bees started showing up? They're pretty helpful though so I'm not complaining.

Controls:
Left/Right Arrows: Walk
Up/Down Arrows: Climb/Aim
C: Place Scaffolding (hold to preview)
X: Remove Scaffolding/Break leaves (hold to preview)
C+X: Cancel

You can also use WASD+KL or an Xbox controller (Left Stick/D-pad + A + X)


Once you have figured out how everything works together you will be able to ride a bee.

That was really fun, although the game lacked a bike.

Actually really cool. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get the lasers or stuff in your screenshots, or how to ride a bee, but it's a really charming game.

Also I recognize you from tigsource!

What a neat little experience! I like how it was about exploration and understanding. It took a while, but I finally rode a bee! great work!

Interesting concept, nice use of theme, but no sound. It would be awesome to have some sfx or a music to create a mood. It could have some hints of how to play too. Other than that, good job. The pixel art is cool.

Cute! Understood how to summon bees, but still can't ride :(

I ended up playing around with it for a while and found little by complete accident. Did enjoy playing it though. Even though I got nowhere, the game looks and plays great and really keeps you in there for a while.
Still having no idea how the game worked, I kind of cheated a little by looking at the source. This game really has intricacies lost to its mystery. Not saying that's a bad thing. To me it was this appeal that kept me playing. Just sensing that a lot of ppl will miss out by not riding a bee. Great entry!
