In this update, I made a few changes to make battles more legible:
1) Changed the colour of attacks. Poke is white, Extend is blue, Stab is red, Swipe is yellow. This is to make it easier to tell which attack is used.
2) Bees squish when hit, to make it more visible when they're in hitstun. This is something I got from Sakurai's video on Squashing and Scaling. The other graphical flair in bee coach - having a brief stop and screenshake when one bee hits another - is something I got from his video on hitstops.
Obviously bee coach's graphics are, uh, a bit rough; but they could be so much worse! Here's the predecessor to bee coach:
The "bees" actually hit each other multiple times in this gif but it's basically impossible to tell. Bee Coach's graphics have a long way to go, but at least now you can tell when the bees hit each other!
