Interesting concept! I love how you used this game to also be an educational experience! The art and music /audio are also immersive! Very cozy indeed! Great job! 😊😊✨

Developer

thanks

I have literally never seen a typing game in a jam before. This was quite the cool experience. I like the casual atmosphere you go for, and it was educational to boot. The visuals are gorgeous, too.

Developer

thanks

I love typing games and this is great, but I wish there was some sort of a timer/scoring system.

Developer

I'm also a typing game fan. I've made a few other typing games over the years if you are interested in some other variations: https://itch.io/c/3710340/typing-games My favorites are Below the surface and goose typing attack

For this one, I was experimenting with something more cozy. Thanks for playing!

The sounds were so satisfying (even when I made a typo), and I loved the art!

Developer

thanks!

I think I am ready for a typing competition now! Thanks for showing the story of bumblebees, very educational cozy games, vibes are on point too, great work!

nice! Thanks for playing

It's not letting me type. It looks very cute though!

Developer

oh that is unfortunate. Everything is case sensitive if that was the issue. First letter is capital letter `Start`. 

But if not. I can look into it more if you can provide me some details about which browser and OS.

That's probably it, I'll try it tomorrow

Relaxing  and cozy - nicely done!  I enjoyed typing and learning more about bees.

thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Cozy and educational. Not what I ever expected from a typing game. The sound designs was very satisfying.

Though the theme didn't care much for risks or biscuits, nah?^^

Developer

didn't want to go with literal biscuits haha, but there is the more deeper take of bumblebees risking it each year or die. Thanks for playing!

Beautiful game! The lovely visuals alongside the satisfying SFX makes for a really enjoyable typing experience. I also enjoyed the fact we follow a informative story about bees as the background changes.

Developer

A bumblebee lesson wasnt on my brackeys game jam bingo card but Im glad I experienced it. was an enjoyable game and I appreciate that the wrong answer dings were pitched and not the same every time cause there was a good run I couldnt type words for hell and it was just ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding xD
Exellent game!

Developer

Quite a cute and charming style.

Really cozy art and atmosphere. Neat to learn about bees by typing about them!

Developer

This is probably one of the best game jam games I've played so far. The atmosphere, the background effects, the animations, the cozy typing gameplay (reminiscent of Mario Teaches Typing), everything about this game just screams cozy and laid-back. 5/5 stars. You've definently earned it. 😁😁👍

Developer

thanks!

some coworkers mentioned mario teaches typing(which I played) and a newer take from SpongeBob that I've never played.

Liked the Games art style and theme.  It could make for a fun typing speed test!

Developer

thanks for playing
