Simple but cute game.But it's unnecessary to show toturial and start from the very basic part of the game every round.

Well done for getting it out in even more limited time!

add a little music and this game would be a great time to spend a boring afternoon with

28.9 honey, 3775 nectar gathered. Man, a lot of wasps in the end :)

Good progression pacing and unlocking of features. Everything got a bit small at the end. I don't think there was any zoom?

It is exciting to see a new hive and wonder what upgrades it will give. Wasps add a nice difficulty other than keeping an eye on my energy.

Overall very fun!

Way more appealing than it initally look! It fill a bit like a clicker game, very simple with new mechanics comming in! Congrats!

Nice game, love the progression pace

This was lovely! I really enjoyed the late game. The frantic wasp dodging, while I became infinitely more powerful. My range was so large, I could stand on the hive while gathering. Alas, one wasp is all it takes to end the run.

Great work! I recorded myself playing to provide as much feedback as possible. Cheers!

@100th-coin That's amazing, thank you! Rushed as I was I didn't get much time for playtesting so that was invaluable. If you're interested:
Wasp reduction does work, but is clearly not powerful enough. Similarly, it looks like the range increase it a bit *too* powerful. I think that wind could also be made more of a challenge. The speed bonuses you got help, but it wasn't supposed to be so much of a non-factor.

The tooltip about honey being heavy and slowing you down isn't supposed to keep popping up.

I like the idea about bonuses to nectar collection/deposit. In your playthrough, you got honey production up so high that getting any more was actually pointless, as the hive was converting nectar to honey faster than you could deposit nectar into the hive!

I especially like the idea of displaying more stats at the end. The end as a whole could do with more polish. I'll definitely take your ideas and suggestions on board if i do a post-jam version (along with some audio, of course!)

Thanks again!

Lots of fun finding the optimal paths to get honey and which upgrades to pick. Great instructions at the start of the game! It´s always nice to have the tutorial be a hands on experience instead of a wall of text. I like the slow zoomout of the map, slowly adding more complexity to the game and different hives that you can interact with. Haven´t had a lot of issues with the wind, but did notice the bee drifting a slight amount. Really nice job on the game!

I thought its all when i flew with one bee to flower and back and then the content started to appear. I was surprised pleseantly. Very fun relaxing game

It took me a bit to realise how the movement works. I kept using the keybord and wondering why my bee was flying around drunk :)

Once I understood, it was quite enjoyable and relaxing, even later when more things went on.

Good job getting it out there in time!

Really chill. Dug the graphics and feel like it simulated being a bee incredibly well. The way it swarmed around stuff to collect pollen looked really cool. Progression was cool but I was really bad at it and had trouble getting too far. Missed music and sound effects but running out of time's understandable.

A very relaxing and fun little game. The game is easy understand and it is easy to play. Some music and sound effects would have been great, but okay it's a jam game. Overall is this a pretty good jam game. Well done.

Really nice game in such a short time span! The amount of depth with the simplicity was nice. I enjoyed playing this, and the slow start up to get the basics felt great!

This is a good simple game that would benefit next with added audio for things like warning the player when new things occur. Such as when the wind changes direction or other plants pop up in the level. Those are just some ideas but regardless great work on getting a fully playable game done for the COMPO!

That was really cute and fun!
I love the first the gradual introduction of new mechanics and then the zoomout. It eventually makes everything so tiny :)


Wasn't expecting it to get so deep, the main post had my expectations pretty low, but it was really quite addicting! The bee's movements, and how it collects the nectar was charming. I never noticed the screen actually zoom out, with how focused I was - but whenever it may have happened, it moved the game along at a great pace! Fun stuff!:)

Really enjoyed it, the slow zoom out was a fun mechanic and the execution was really fun, great job!
