The music started out very fitting, and then seemed to be mocking me in the end game.

This game definitely has a lot of entities :D Fun game!

Got to 73 on my first try and then way less on my 2nd and 3rd try 😅

Massive FPS drops came at around 2300 bees (WASM build).

Developer

That's interesting. I wonder if there is some WASM feature that makes it more difficult after on subsequent loads.

I got to 45 and then there was just sooo many beees! The bees! AAAH THE BEES! First time I played it I just didn't understand the controls, second time around, I was mesmerized. I just love controlling the flock of worker bees, there something beautiful in there, like the ruminations of starlings or something. I mean, I really liked it for what it was! 

Developer(+1)

Agreed, the move_marbles example for xpbd had me mesmerized and I knew I had to use it somehow.

Oooph, I could only get to around 40 before it was too slow. Neat though

Simple but surprisingly fun and i enjoyed the jank slowly creeping in as the spawn rate got high. Fits the theme well!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Fits the theme really well! Does the max num of worker bees depend on the screen size/resolution?

Developer(+1)

The screen size/resolution shouldn't matter, the world size is independent of that and the same for everyone. I have noticed that it slows down faster on my Linux machine than on my Mac.

as an added bee related bonus, once there's enough bees spawned - it feels like you're moving through honey!

Developer

True!

Oh one more bee game :D I guess bees are popular this season, that's definitely a lot

Developer

Bees go brrr.

My computer was dying but it was worth it, I got 66! It was pretty funny and chaotic.

I got 19!?!?

Developer

It seems like the worker bees are spawning at different rates with the WASM build on different OSes. What browser/OS were you playing on?

Developer

My highest score is 82! Let me know how you do!
