Wow really nice game!!

Pretty fun game, although a bit too easy to exploit. It turns a bit too much into a button mashing game, but the beginning is really nice. Very interesting!

Wow really nice game once I understood the mechanics.

The info text about trees, flowers, axe and net should be in the description of your page as well (maybe even controls for the game should be in the page as well), because when I played the game for the first time I didn't have time to read the whole text and then I didn't know what to do.

But when I played your game for the second time and understood what to do, I had fun. Nice game with exponential progression. Good job.

175 bees caught! This game was incredibly unique, I was confused at first since it was let there be chaos and seemingly so little bees, then I grew some trees and the horde consumed my entire screen and then it became a race of replanting and catching as many bees as possible, I love the art style reminds me of ROTMG. Amazing game!

I had a lot of fun in the game every time trying to do better and I would like to have leaderboards in the game.

Hey! Good game, but the sfx got a tiny bit annoying. Good job and i had a lot of fun with this.

Awesome job! I had a lot of fun with this. Think it just needs a killer (bee) soundtrack and I'd love to keep playing. Really cool stuff here.

At first it was confusing what to do, especially in the beginning when it was slower, but around the ending part of it when I was juggling: catching bees, planting flowers, planting trees, cutting trees, that was when it was at its best. Felt chaotic and satisfying to reign in some of that chaos. The bee animation is very cool, would love to have some text under the items to indicate what is what given the pixel art can be misleading on first glance. Good job!

I like the game. It is very funny. Good job

Very fun game! I reach 80 bees, i got anxiety attack from the bee hive chunk from the trees! tons of bees lmao, great job!

This was actually really fun and super cute, though I must say I wasn't much of a fan of the SFX.

Missing some bee sfx, otherwise it could be more chaos. I like the art style and creativity, good game overall.

The bees and the flowers. Nice job!

How do you catch the bees? I keep hitting them with my net and my score doesn't go up.  Am I doing it wrong?

Developer(+1)

You wait for them to land on flowers and then catch them with the net. They're slightly too high to catch while they're flying if that's what you're trying. I'll admit the tutorial isn't great, something I'd work on for future games.

great, thanks hope you keep developing this

Got 105 Bees :) NOT THE BEES! ^^ 

Loved it, simple but yet some kind of addicting and i like the fast pace of it :)

Submitted(+1)

A charming little game, I'm surprised on how fast-paced it is. I was flying across the stage planting trees and collecting bees. Great job!

Cute game! It's very innovative being a farming sim in a chaotic setting. Though I would capitalize more on the Chaos by adding events for extra spice. Also a little music would have been good. But this is still pretty good for a game jam game! I quite liked it.

Nice little game, love the aesthetic. Really enjoyed the flight of the bumblebees. The resource management aspect of it provided a bit of variety, I liked being able to try a few different strategies to collect bees.

Submitted(+2)

Love it! Really fun trying to come up with the best strategy to collect attract bees. I found that just spamming flowers and trees seemed to work just fine. Maybe adding either a limit or some way that trees affect the flowers or vice versa that forces the player not to spam both down. Either way, it was a fantastic chaotic time-killer!
