Really enjoyed playing this game. This doesn't look and feel like a game jam game, but rather a fully-fledged game that's fun for the younger audiences.

Thanks! Yeah, I had my niece and nephews in mind when creating this one. Excited to have them play it the next time I see them! I think they're gong to love it!

This game looks so amazing! But, I'm not able to jump at all. I've used the "A" key, space, and right mouse click... Nothing works. I don't want to rate your submission before I asked if you had any other advice to try and get it working.

Hi vanillapineshake! Thanks for letting me know! 

Strange that it is not working for you. Are you able to move left/right or shoot with the left mouse button or left shift?

*edit - I think I have found the issue,, working on getting the build updated....

Developer

Ok, updated the build to version 1.3. Hopefully the jumping will work for you now. Please let me know how it goes! Thanks again for letting me know about the issue!

Sure thing :). It's definitely better, but the jumps are quite unwieldy, i.e. I'm getting shot pretty far up into the sky each time I jump. Also, if I let myself fall down to the ground, there's no way to jump anymore. Not sure if that's by design. Anyway, I like the artwork and the variety of enemies you've created. I was definitely able to see more this time around. I even managed to get 4 coins and kill a few bugs! Haha.

So strange, it has been working well on all my computers I've tested on. I just added one more fix in v1.4/v1.5/v1.6/v1.7(been fixing a few things!, haha) that may help with the unwieldy jumping. 

Also, as far as not being able to jump again, there is a stamina bar and that should refill after a second or so on the ground.... but if it wasn't refilling then the fix I just put in may also fix that issue for you too.

Hey, I'm really sorry, but it's just not working for me... I don't know why. I'm on a Microsoft Surface Book 2 running Windows 10. I can only jump off of the platform once, but I immediately fall to the ground. The stamina bar is at full power, but I can't jump. Pushing the A key now moves the bee to the left. Space bar and right-click do nothing. I still have no problem with the shooting feature. Anyway, I think I have at least seen some of your game potential (the trailer is genius) and can tell you put a ton of effort into it. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to play it! :)

Thanks again for trying! I just did one more update that may or may not fix the issue. Probably not, but curious if it would. Anyway, thanks again!
