Great idea. The controls are similar to the flying dino game I played from the submissions. It’s not easy but you made a good level design. It’s definetly not a Bee Game. It’s A! :)

Excellent addition of multiple input methods, really nice sound design and gameplay, 10 days, solo! you packed a lot in. well done!

Thanks, yeah was suffering from ‘feature creep‘ especially when I decided to add boss fights :) game jams do really push you in unexpected directions.

This is a good entry even more impressive it's a solo effort. The controls feel nicely weighted, not too easy not too hard. I really love the attention to detail under the sunbeams. You nailed this!Reminds me of a game I used to love years ago (showing my age) Airwolf on the spectrum/commodore... I always wanted to recreate it and here you have!

Developer

Yeah,  I grew up on side scrolling shooters, like Salamander and R-Type. Mostly on arcade machines and, after the Atari 2600,  a Commodore 64:) My friend had the Spectrum, always debate on which one was better of course. Anyway, there was another game called Silkworm, I think, 2 player, with a jeep and a helicopter. Could do a follow-up with a bee some other insect teaming up :)

Pretty fun game that I find myself coming back to trying to get better, the art style really works well and has good depth.

A fun small game. I only managed to get 10, I assume the last two are on the left, after the air pipes. 
I like the idea of charging by the sun.  It was very neat that the music changed gently as you near the end zones. The UI controls were clean and simple. Lots to like here.

Interesting concept and nice art style. I played about 10 times overall as it took me a few tries to get to grips with the controls. 8/12 was my best score. Good job

Developer

that’s better than my best score! :) thanks for trying it out.

For some reason it will not run in my browser, I get the unity loading screen and the progress bar freezes about 75%. The other submissions seem to be working.  I am using Firefox 138.0.4 (64-bit) on Ubuntu.

thanks for trying, working for me on phone, tablet, laptop…  I’ll see if I can test it on a few more machines to double check. Cheers

I'm gonna be honest: I am obsessed with your art style and I will copy that style in a future project. I mean, try and stop me. gameplay is also rock solid and unique as well. strong entry.

Love the vector style. Reminds me of some classic old helicopter games.

I need a more robust bee! :D

Yeah, default sprites in Unity and was initially just for prototyping, then I thought, you know what, I haven't got time to do pixel art :) Thanks for popping by!
