  • Pretty fun game! I do think the difficulty scaling is a bit out of whack, the game starts too difficult and ends way too easy in my experience. The game has solid controls and I had a blast playing this. Keep kicking ass!

Tell us about your game!
It is an overhead 2D shoot-em-up in which you play as a bee flying through the air.

Astronauts brought back a strange flower from the moon, spread a virus to all the bees that consume it. The Queen Bee has created a vaccine for this virus that you can create using the special Pollenizer device you've been fitted with.​ Your mission is to pollinate the healthy flowers and get rid of the infected pollen. While doing this the zom-bees will try to stop you.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?

This is a fun little shooter. The graphics are really nice, and the movement feels good. It took a few runs for me to figure out the dark flowers were bad, and a few runs to find out that i can shoot them and turn them into good flowers. :D

Glad you enjoyed it!

If we had a little more time we would've tried add something to tell the player how the game worked. Unfortunately bugs kept popping up so we ran out of time.

I like your idea!
The art is really good

Some issues

Ammo goes to -1

Upgrades don't work

The infected flower and good flower look way too similar, maybe a particle effect on the bad ones?

The waves have way too many enemies going too fast, I end up only killing like 3 enemies before I die

Good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game!

There were a lot of last minute issues so unfortunately we weren't able to fix everything.

I was aware of the ammo issue but the upgrades should work. They just don't take your money properly and there isn't a visual indication you bought an upgrade. The multi-shot upgrade is a little wonky though.

I actually really wanted to add particle effects to the flowers. I only realized after play testing at the very end how hard it was to spot the bad flowers.

Appreciate the feedback.
