How does your game relate to the theme?
Compound eyes of insects are made up of thousands of "ommatidium" each of which acts as a simple light sensor. To simulate this, we pixellate (or hexellate) the screen to simulate their "mosaic vision" along with other compound eye effects like an insane field of view.

Specify any and all pre-made assets in your submission.

Submitted

Very interesting idea! Good game

This is so very cool. I absolutely love the compound view, reminds me somewhat of pixel shaders that give games that *mwah* aesthetic. 

Developer

Thank you!  How do we connect our games?  When they visit the beehive in our game it should take the player to your game.  hahaha.

Submitted

haha that would be funny, then my tutorial guy introduces compound glasses to the player and your game introduces different resource types :D

the greatest bee simulator ever simulated.

super creative and fun game with cool visuals, love it!

Developer

Thank you! (except for this one... lol.  Though I suspect it took more than 72 hours for them to build.  https://store.steampowered.com/app/914750/Bee_Simulator/)

Screen effect is really cool, wish the controls were a bit tighter but again nice visuals.

Developer

Thanks!  We did consider the controls during the (very brief) playtesting, but wanted to maintain the feeling of simulating the clumsiness of bee flight =D

cool effect for the vision, nice work

One of the most brilliant interpretations of a game jam theme I've ever seen.

Developer

Wow thanks!

Wow, i wondered if someone will interpret the theme that way. You did it great. Love the visuals and sounds!

Developer

Thank you!

I loved the visual style for the game, it was so refreshing and new. The controls to fly felt really fun and the gameplay was fun but got a little boring/repetitive after a while. Overall great game for 72 hours. Had a blast playing it, keep up the good work. (also some music would really improve the game)

Developer

Thank you! haha... we debated about whether we should add music or nature sounds and nature sounds won.
