I imagine that was the intention, but the atmosphere feels quite creepy for a game about a little bee, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, the type of environment makes it very hard to see into the distance with all the fog, especially when trying to return to the hive after flying far away.
As for the controls, ascending is quite difficult, but everything else feels very polished and I really like the approach to the mechanics. Maybe the inside of the hive feels a bit strange in terms of how the panels are arranged, but I enjoyed the idea of upgrading abilities.
I definitely wasn’t expecting another bee to be the one to kill me, it came at lightning speed. It’s a very interesting game concept, and with a bit more color it could look amazing.
That said, there are a couple of things that could be improved. When you press Escape and return to the main menu, you can't start or quit the game anymore, and the same thing happens if you die and choose to go back to the menu. Also, the wing-flapping sound is extremely quiet, you can barely hear it unless the volume is at max. Some ambient music would have been a nice addition as well.
Great job overall!
