Cool game, I like the astetic and all of the assets fits nicely together. There where two things that bouthered me, the fact that you can't go as fast up and down as you could side to side and I think that the gas guys are a bit to op or at least hard to hit becuase you need to bring your mouse over them to hit them but that also controlls the bees. Aside from that the game feels very polished and the menu is cool. Overall great game.

Very good and well done concept. The feeling of power when we have our big army of bees is exhilarating!

Artistically it's a real success, it's beautiful and it makes the game experience very pleasant.

Congratulations for the work!

I played your game and rated it! I liked the art style and the camera movement. How did you do the camera movement? It felt so smooth. Also a really creative title and tie to the theme of 'you're not alone'.

If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism.

Fantastic idea! The idea and camera work were very appealing. The camera must have taken some time to properly configure. I made it to wave 5, but after that the invaders stopped spawning and I didn't obtain a win screen. Nevertheless, soaring about was enjoyable. Awesome game! Would you mind rating my game and leaving some comments if you have the time? If not, at least assist a few folks who fall under the "need for rating" category. You decide everything, so keep up the fantastic work, developer.

The concept is really fun and seeing the swarm becoming larger and larger is super satisfying. Working with boids is always a challenge and you did great!

Great concept! I liked the theme and the camera work. I bet the camera took a while to set up correctly. I got to wave 5, but the intruders stopped spawning and I didn't get a win screen; I did have fun just flying around though! Great Game!

yea its some kind of array problem happens sometimes. But even if you won you would just go to menu. I had no time for death win menu because flocking amount took huge amount of time. Thanks for playing.

Very cute! I loved the animations!

I really like the concept, my computer does funky things to the color of fullscreen games so I don't really know how nice it looks. The bee sprayers are a little too tricky for me to wrap my head around, but the game is well designed. The music gets annoying.

Developer

thanks. you can see screenshots for game looks

Pretty nice and good game, The gameplay is fun and overall it has a nice feel to it.
Sadly my only complaint is the music gets obnoxious after a while.
