Good idea, like the art style and core gameplay. Feels unbalanced rn but I know for 48 hours is good! I hope you can add some invulnerability when you dash or something like it, when you kill an enemy bee you also get hurt, and after 3 kills you die as well haha. Tbh the idea is neat, just needs some polish and audio to be awesome.

Fun game. Unfortunatelly I'm not professional enough bee to not die after 3 encounters :P 

Would love to play more but for me it would require balance. 

Also would be cool to have some bees from the start - it would fit the theme more

Likes: 

- fun to be a bee :) 

- while playing I wanted to see more and had a will to explore

Unfortunatelly: 

- the fact that enemy bees dash at you while you dash makes it hard since I always received dmg when I tried to attack them. - Maybe it would be good to add invinsibility to player during dash ? 

- also I would suggest not mixing mouse and keybord controls - it was a bit distracting that I couldn't buy from store without letting go of keyboard.

This game is very hard! I like the idea but I can't seem to time my dashes right, and you take so much damage from bees.


Lots of times when I dash, I think the other bee would dash and hurt me.  Really wish I was invulnerable during my dash.


It also takes a while to start. Restarting the game was always boring because I had to wait for the bees to come, just to die a few seconds later.


This game seems really fun but I can't get past the first couple seconds.

Neat idea, I like that the dashing depletes you hunger meter faster! It is very tough though, I had a hard time dashing into other bees without also losing health, that might be something I'd tweak. Nice job though overall!

The art is really cute but it is quite hard, I can't even pass 10 seconds...

Feedback:
- Sound of any kind would make the game a little bit more enjoyable
- Add visual or audio cues to show eating action. At times I don't know if I'm eating or not without seeing the bar!

Thanks for playing, a good point about the eating action which I'll look more into

I like the idea! :) Wish there were a few buzzing sounds and I agree with the dash invulnerability!

It's not a bad game, but because the bees dash too it makes it too easy to die. I would add some invulnerability while you are dashing or making their detection range shorter or something. Right now though there just isn't a way to keep up.

Yeah, I realised this as well but did not have time to improve it. I'll probably post some updates after the jam ends

It is hard.
